"If anything be honest. Show then you're not morally swayed. Clean and iron your clothes, it's all part of the uniform. It helps to be in a good mood coming in. If the managers see that you're a jovial person, they'll remember that."
What don't you like about working at Cracker Barrel?
"The rules of CB dictate that guests are served according to a timeline. Approach them within one minute, get orders and drinks, type in orders, food out, give the check before they are done eating, and continue to serve drinks. People have their own agenda, though, and will get annoyed when we try to push them."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Pay attention to what employees are trying to tell you. We understand what's going on in the work environment more than management does. If someone is out of line, it's not like we're trying to fire them, we just wanna make the workplace better."

What don't you like about working at LongHorn Steakhouse?
"Management is beyond unprofessional, showing a lack of genuine respect and favoritism among the staff. The restaurant design is poor, guests get sticker shock and the server pays for it. Slim chances for advancement or improvement in position or compensation. Scheduling is terrible. Management struggles with understanding the concept of slow vs. steady days, and employees end up fighting for the prime shifts just to make money that is worth the work. Too much side work! Half of the shift is spent cleaning, stocking, and rolling silverware."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Higher expectations from management, reward/praise employees for exceptional work, better scheduling methods, lower the amount of side work each shift."
