The hostess with the mostess

Yesterday I worked a morning shift, but instead of serving, I was a host. Also called an "SA" or "Server assistant." My very first job was a host actually, for a locally owned family run restaurant in my hometown. I worked there for 3 years before quitting to become a full-time server in yet another restaurant (Pizza hut... but don't even get me started on that one.)  

Anyways the point is, I don't want to be a host anymore. That is not the profession I would like at this moment in my life or probably ever again. It's not that hosting is difficult or anything. But it is frustrating and rewardless. Basically your job is to make sure the door is always opened for the guests, seat them in rotation with the chart, and tell them the soup of the day and their server's name. Then you clean up after them, making about $20-40 dollars a night, compared to the $75-200 you could make as a server.

So honestly, who would want to be a host?
