Clayton at Work: Grace Monshausen
Monshausen working at the hostess’ stand in Half & Half.
Hostess at Half & Half
Q: What is your hourly wage?
A: $8.00 an hour plus tips, but I get tax taken off which stinks.
Q: What is the weirdest thing that has happened to you on the job?
A: A woman with a party of 10 that came in got really mad at me one time. She stood behind the hostess’ stand and yelled in my ear for a really long time. She told me that I am really bad at my job and that I should have sat her somewhere else. She also said that I should figure out how to be better. After my co-workers got involved, she apologized and said that she works at a restaurant too.
Q: How do you pass the time?
A: There’s a receipt feeder at the hostess’ stand. So I always push the button to get blank paper and draw my co-worker’s pictures. Sometimes if cute kids are in [the restaurant], I go and talk to them. I also eat a lot.
Q: What have you learned?
A: People are mean when they’re hungry.
