Have you ever worked in the food industry, in any capacity?

I have actually never worked in any capacity in the food industry.

When I was a teenager, there were no fast food outlets-only fish and chips, and there was really no opportunity apart from waitress.

I worked in a dept store in the school holidays generally when I did do some work, so have never worked in the food industry.

When I was still at high school,I had the absolute pleasure to work in a lovely little Chinese family owned restaurant where I learned such a great deal about the preparation and serving of Chinese meals. I also was fortunate enough in my final school year to work in a very good Italian restaurant,where I again learned so much about the industry. I enjoyed both of these jobs immensley.

Yes.
I worked in the industry for a few years, and have done a lot of different jobs.
Working with Chef's is very scary...they seem to like perfection, and scream a lot!
I have also worked in Fast Food, and other venues.

that was always something I wanted to do Bryony -i was a non drinker and had no clue about drinks!

I don't drink much either. I'm still trying to get the hang of pulling the perfect pint. I still get a lot of froth depending on the beer.

No not really....was a flight attendant but that was just distributing food and drink...

That's what a waiter/waitress does in a cafe etc.
People forget that Flight Attendants' are on an aircraft by the law of Safety Requirement, not just as 'trolley-dollies' or as Reg ANSETT said once, 'old boilers'!

Well 'old boiler' would certainly be the case if I was one now ha ha!

Oh! fran, I found the more 'mature' FA's a pleasure to deal with when I flew (passenger) constantly in my career.

They were the best in Customer Service, & knew protocol. They'd experience, & nothing beats that!

On a recent QANTAS flight to Antarctica, the Cabin Crew were all 'older', as required for THAT particular type of flight. Good. Made one feel 'VERY' secure, & safe! Cheers!

Fast food, waitress, and catering in my younger days...Really didn't like it that much, but enjoyed the free food.

by Aleigha

No, but had to 'fill in' a waitress position when she broke her ankle. Hated it immensely. It was only for two weeks, thank goodness!

My son is a Sous Chef, though, with Patisserie Certif. & a B.Hosp.Mgt.
Am a VERY proud Mum!

I used to wait tables at a restaurant. We also catered for functions. It wasn't too bad. I didn't like having to work on Friday nights and weekends though.
