Late - Freewrite
There's one thing that always fascinates me. People that are constantly late.
I work in the restaurant industry. Everyone has their certain in time. Each in time is usually different per person. For example, some people might come in at 10:00. Some people might come in at 10:30. Some people might even come in at 11:00. Each one is scheduled for a different set of hours.

Now, the best thing to do is to show up about 15 - 20 minutes earlier than you are scheduled. If you do this then you can be assured to be on the floor and taking tables right away. You make more money that way.
Despite this most people seem to show up about 15 minutes later than they're supposed to be there. It's actually kind of ridiculous.
You see, we have to set up our sections and make sure that they are in good working order. We have to do things like put out the salt and pepper, fold napkins, and make tea.
A whole lot of different things have to be done before you can actually come on.
If those things aren't done then you can't come on the floor and you can't make any money.
Now imagine that you were scheduled to come in at 11:00 and the restaurant is already busy. You walk in the door at 11:20 and still have to do about 20 minutes worth of stuff.
Something similar happened this morning. We got really busy and it was more than most of the servers could handle. However, the server that was supposed to come in and make things a lot easier was very late.
Once he arrived he still had a bunch of work to do. By the time he came on the floor most of the business was already gone.
We were all frustrated because it was so busy that it interfered with our ability to give great service. He was frustrated because he wasn't able to make very much money.
Well that's what happens when you show up to work very late every single day.
He didn't really get in trouble though. People rarely get in trouble for being late at my job. The truth is if you're late you're not going to make any money. Maybe the rest of us will make more money because you're not there. Maybe we won't.
However, being late is a bad idea in pretty much any situation.
Being late will cost you money.
time is money....
Indeed.
So true. Better be an hour early than a minute late. Time is precious. You can earn money again, but you can never bring back time again
Absolutely. Time is the most precious thing.
It is always better to be on time since the rule is "first come, first serve"
That's true.
nice one I really enjoy with my friend in restaurant
Thanks for your comment.
totally AGREE.
every profesion has don in a good rithm. our rithm will be good if we work well.
one of the factors that determine success is starting point. if we start with the spirit with the atmosphere is still fresh of course we can create better opportunities. When other people need our services, we are ready, of course this will be profitable.
If we think to relax then do not hope the results will be maximized because when we are just getting ready to serve people sudajh go to seek services of others.
I agree with that.
