I knew that I behave a little differently when I'm serving at the restaurant; my voice changes for one thing, and I start to sound like 'Tour Guide Barbie".
This afternoon my sister and Grandmother surprised me at the restaurant- which was a wonderful surprise!- but because they know me so well, I knew that they would be able to tell if I was putting on a show, which apparently I do. Often. Most of my moments as a server are well rehearsed, and unnatural to my character. It was a surprising thing to realize! I had no idea until I did my "welcome talk" and heard how different my voice and cadence was.
Now I'll have to make a conscious decision to be more myself while working at the restaurant.
