Tilted Kilt Training Day 2

Luckily I never got that dreaded call so I was in! 

Since there were so many people it was hard to keep track of everyone so I’m not sure who was cut and who wasn’t.  Training was long and tiring because there were so many things to learn on the menu.  We went over all the ingredients of everything on the menu and what it was served with.  I must say the Tilted Kilt has a very big impressive selection of food.  They had some traditional British dishes like Shepherd’s Pie, as well as pasta, steak, pizza, burgers, and wings.  I think they are trying to have a more sophisticated menu than places like Hooters.

Barbie was the head of the bar at her restaurant.  She went over each drink with us, what it was made with, what was popular, and what to do if a guest had too much to drink.  The Tilted Kilt has a huge selection of different cocktails and a really

good selection of beer.  It’s a lot to take in especially if you don’t drink a lot and aren’t familiar with beers and liquors.  Barbie was so energetic and cute.  She even got a round of applause after her presentation which was funny because we didn’t do that with any of the other trainers.  I think it surprised her just as much and made her day.

Kevin went over again on how WE were very important to the brand and people came there to see us.  He said treat the guests like they were your friends and just hang with them.  He showed us slides of different kilt girls doing things to entertain their guests.  One made up some cup stacking game and another did hula hooping.  To them it seemed cute and fun but to be honest it looked kind of dumb to me. 

During the beaks I took advantage of talking with the other girls, it was a very social time. I talked to Kiki for the first time who was one of Theresa’s favorites; she was the girl who met the investors in uniform a few months back before we opened.  She was rail thin and had a huge chest.  She had some boyfriend that played college football in another state and looked like the perfect future football player’s wife.  I bonded with Tara and Lindsey who I met at the Super Bowl party and their friend Anastasia.  Anastasia had this crazy fun hair.   She was the coolest person I met there, very carefree and a total hippy.   I nicknamed her Awesomeness because she was just that cool and awesome to be around.

During the break we were able to try the food and we did this every day throughout the week.    

I couldn’t get accustomed as to how they served the food at the tasting.  They’d put a big helping out of all different types of dishes and people would

grab a little here and there for their plate.   It was a sample free for all.   I know there were a lot of us and we all need to try every dish but it just seemed really gross to do it this way.   People looked like ravaging scavengers.  There had to be a more sanitary way to do this, possibly cutting items up beforehand so everyone wasn’t touching it at the same time?  Maybe buffet style?  I don’t know but there had to have been a better way.  I’m not a germaphobe, I’ll eat a cookie if it’s fallen on the floor or share drinks with people but I got very grossed out that 30 girls were all touching the same nachos.
