Accomplishments
Besides, just doing cooking baking, I worked at a grill station and I cafeteria feeding outside customers as far as even like nurses and doctors worked at a deli in the same area worked for a short amount of time where they had no help in our coffee shop doing just small grill items I basically did everything. I even worked in the dish room after I came back from having some surgery done and so I had to have light work duty so I did the dish room for about a month so as I said, basically did everything in the kitchen except handle any kind of money if they were a penny shot I did not want to know about it. I have my own problems at home taking care of money so I didn’t wanna have any other problems that was my choice.
