Chapter Three: The Interview
Nerves course though me as I patiently waited to be interviewed for the waitress/hostess position at Bhandri's. "Clare Edwards how nice to meet you. I'm Sav Bhandri, I'm the owner and I will be interviewing you today." I look up to see a young man not to much older than me waiting for me to shake his hand. I shook it politely and then followed him to the back to his office as he continued to talk. "To be honest with you I am only looking for a waitress position. It doesn't pay much, but you are allowed to keep all your tips and will split the tip jar at the end of the week. Also you will receive bonuses every now and then, you get paid double for working on your off days. That just about covers the job, if you don't mind will you tell me a little bit about yourself please."
I took a deep breathe and began to tell him a few simple things about me keeping it short. I was just finishing up as a girl around my age walked in. She had long black hair and big eyes, she was really rather pretty. I don't believe that she noticed me because she began talking a mile a minute to Sav. "Sav please don't hire some old ugly person to work with, you've got a great setup here for the young crowd which is an excellent chance to take their money, and I'll be more comfortable, I would hate to have this place filled with a bunch of old stuck up people. I. . ." Sav cut her off as he rose from his chair and wrapping an arm around her, "Calm down Alliah, I'd like to introduce you to Clare" he said as she turned to notice me for the first time. "She will be working with you, she's our new waitress. Clare this is my sister who is the hostess you two will be working together so I hope you get along."
"Sav" she pouted, "Don't call me Alliah, it makes you sound like did" She then turned to me. "It's nice to meet you Clare, you may call me Alli." She says smiling while shooting a glare at her brother playfully. Sav resumes speaking to me, he lets me in on a few more details such as the fact that I will be getting paid weekly and I will recive my check directly from him. I then procede to give him my sizes for the uniform he will be ordering for me. "Clare do you have any questions for me?" he asks. "Actually yeas, what does the uniform consists of?" "Basically they are skinny jeans mostly and shorts and skirts all fitted with our logo, you will also receive several different styles of shirts mostly tanks and a baby tees." I laugh as he takes a breath and inquire as to why we have so many pieces. "Alli designed the look for this place so she wanted to keep it comfortable for everyone who works here while still giving them options to be themselves while looking like part of a team. Your name will be airbrushed on all your shirts and the bottoms will all have the café's name on the back pocket." I mentally roll my eyes and thank him for the job before walking out, waving bye to Alli who was busy chatting up some cute guys by the entrance, before rushing home to share the good news with my mom.
