Do your best to leave your troubles and
worries at the door and not bring them into
your work, just because you are part of what
is selling. You want to try to be yourself,
but also, if you're in a bad mood, you don't
want to have that come off to your guest.
Also, anticipating other people's needs is
very important between the guests and your
coworkers. If you kind of know what all needs
to happen… then you can anticipate that
things are needed and you can go ahead and
do that, rather than waiting until a bunch of
people need things all the same time.
