my first job was at a pizza joint. and i hate to tell you, i'm ok with alot of work, like i'm able to work in retail comfortably, but in the food business? esp as a waitress??

i deffinately think you should give it a go and i would have the same fears as you, getting humiliated in front of my mom, i'd rather be in those situations with strangers rather than people i knew. but i think you should also start looking around for another job too.

working in food is really... really stressful. and i'm all about giving encouragment and everything but if you're like me... that job sounds like a handful...

but good luck, at least give it a shot, if you were able to get it in the first place, then you're off to a good start.

My first work experience was with a pastry chef, and I believe that experience is part of the reason I continue to doubt myself to this day. Try it for a bit and if you do not feel intimidated, go for it. If you are constantly being pushed and yelled at, forget it. There are far better jobs out there. If you can, it's better to go for something which will give you a bit of freedom and control.

Well Oak, I think that taking that GIANT step and even TRYING to make a go of that job deserves a HUGE HOORAY! SO-- HOORAY! No one excells at something they have no 'hands on' exeperience at! You'll learn, and in time, I'd be willing to bet that you'll be every bit as sweet & friendly as the girl who helped you, and who knows, they may not even WANT to hire anyone else!

If I was your Mom, even if you did 'mess up', I would be VERY proud of you for TRYING.

BTW....did you get any 'tips" ($$)?
