Summary

While known for a strong work ethic and professionalism, it is also easy to become comfortable in a job and mess around with coworkers. The differences between spending time and doing work are glaringly obvious. Guests will always be come first when they walk through the door, but being lax and understanding with them can bring a warm environment. Multiple times throughout a week I handle counting money, giving it to the respective people - or giving it to the management above me for further handling.
