Victorian Bakery Observation Report

Hi Christopher, I think this will make a very interesting topic for our first narrative essay. Having worked in the food service industry myself I can relate to this topic and understand how scary it can be to be thrown in to that type of situation. Especially having trained on the area so long ago, putting you in this position by yourself seems like a sort of trial by fire method. I think it will also provide a good frame for the story explaining your background in the establishment and the unprecedented placement of you in this particular area. The dialogue that you provided paints a very clear picture of the fast paced and high stress environment that you had to overcome. If I’m correct in assuming that this particular story will be framed

Montreal’s Le Petit Bistro crafts incredible cuisine inspired by classic French cuisine in its charming and warm restaurant. The duck foie gras served with figs and crusty house bread and the platter of Quebec cheeses make the most delectable starters. Some of Le Petit Bistro’s specialty entrée dishes include the grilled Spanish octopus with garlic confit and edamame bean stew with chorizo sausage, the rabbit medallions stuffed with mushrooms and roasted squash, the lobster risotto with asparagus and yuzu and the seafood tagliatelle pasta with mussels, shrimp, clams and scallops, all of which are divine with a glass of wine.

The idea of morality emphasizes on making the distinction between right and wrong as well as the difference between good and bad behavior. Often times, the mass population is only aware of what is considered to be the “right/good” behavior depending on how the rest of society reacts to it. If the media, authorities, and professionals are all stating that one course of action is the right course of action, then the culture adapts to the claim and in order to be good citizens, the people react accordingly. In Bobrow-Strain’s book White Bread: A Social History of the Store-Bought Loaf, the author illuminates a brief history of the creation and transition over to factory-made white bread from homemade bread. Through the rise in population of store-bought white bread,

My performance as a waitress is judged by customer reviews. I try to have my best performance at all times. The “Looking Glass” plays a major part in my performance. I develop my

Throughout my high school career, I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in multiple FACT productions. My favorite of all shows was the Youth Fact Production of Treasure Island and A Pirate Carol. I enjoyed working with the younger students and having an opportunity to learn to work well with all age groups. My involvement was largely in the technical aspect for this show; including fly rail operation, show control involvement, and stage management. I specifically enjoyed working one student who showed interest in some of the technical theater. I showed him around backstage, how to complete a few simple tasks, and talked about stagecraft. It was so exciting for me to see how interested he was and to see his eyes light up when describing the

Julia Stewart was mindful of the challenging role of fitting big shoes as VP of a thousand restaurants. She worked hard developing her low performing restaurants in South Central LA. Julia rapidly became cognizant of employee’s low recognition. Employees were not

By being a dietary aide at a nursing home, I have gained an insight of how a small foodservice operation is being operated. My duties such as washing dishes, rolling silverware, setting the tables, and making drinks needed to be done on time. I could not be running late, otherwise the whole kitchen would be behind. Knowing how to manage and schedule time effectively helps me ensure that all of my tasks and duties were complete and nothing is forgotten or left until the last

Upon employment at Scottsdale's "Pretentious Petit Four Bakery", Guy signed a covenant not to compete which specifies that, upon Guy's termination at Pretentious, he will not accept a position - in the capacity as a baker- within an eighty mile radius of Scottsdale, AZ., to be enforceable for a duration of five years. Presently, after two years of employment at Pretentious, Guy wishes to leave and form a corporation. Serving as an officer of the corporation, Guy would like to open a bakery in Maryvale which would be owned by the corporation. Guy will be working in the bakery as a staff member. Guy now has concerns about the non-compete covenant he signed for his employment at Pretentious and would like to know if his plans will violate

Acquiring a job, whether it be in a doctor’s office or a fast-food restaurant, can transform a person. Jobs tend to educate employees both about themselves and life in general, either indirectly or directly. In Climbing the Golden Arches, nineteen year-old Marissa Nuñez discusses her work ethics regarding her job at McDonalds. Within her essay, Nunez mentioned how she faced both pleasant and unpleasant circumstances, all which prepared her for her future. As an individual who worked at McDonald’s in order to begin her career, Nuñez learned how to fulfill her role of being an employee by becoming an expert at all the placed stations, dealing with the various types of customers she encountered on a daily basis, and by being an efficient team member. When Marissa Nuñez, who was a high

Baking has always been a part of my life, from when my dad used to bake when I was barely a year old to now when I have carved my own path. Even though I have always been surrounded by baking I didn’t start independently until I was eleven, then peaking when I made a summer trifle for my grandmother’s birthday two years ago. Since then baking has been a constant in my life, but has helped grow and learn as a person.

The story I chose to write this diary on “The second bakery attack” by Haruki Murakami. I chose this story based on the comedy reading for this week. The character of the man is very interesting in the story. He is married living with his wife when he remembers what he did in the past when he was younger. In the past he had robbed a bakery with his friend and he still feels guilty. This guilt prolongs and he feels there is a big underwater volcano over his head due to his present situation “unbearable hunger”. Waking up two o clock that morning, in search of something to eat he resorts to drinking beer to quench that hunger. When he starts explaining to the wife what transpire they plan to rob a bakery again to quell a believe curse only to

Crisp, brown, delicious -- these all describe the sensation of bread, a food that has managed to survive throughout time. Thought to be created more than 7000 years ago, bread has played a role as a staple food from the Ancient Egyptians to the people of today. Bread is now used as a main food source that is eaten all over the world. Even in the midst of the colonial times, colonists created bread as a main food product in their time. Bread was made in the colonists' daily lives, for it was a versatile food that was simple to make. By following steps and having some patience, we may recreate bread like the colonists once did.

This surpassed my expectations as I was able to learn more than I expected from this organization. Truscott Bakery allowed me to work on my skills and hone them in order to build upon them. Working in the retail environment, dealing with demanding customers, and executing the day to day procedures has given me a new found respect for anyone working in the retail industry. I will carry this experience with me throughout my future endeavours as a fundamental building block. It will be the go to formula for me to be

Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi is extremely applicable to the performing arts business. The book emphasizes on the importance of knowing your own brand, connecting with others, and relating to others on a human level. To be in the acting business, you need to know the package you are going to present yourself with, you need to be able to work well with others, and in the audition room make a human connection, since theatre is all about the emotions and complexities of being human.

We are doing a lot of presentation, and this is building up my confidence to speak in front of the audience. Knowledge is not limited. We go beyond books, and it is very interesting. Professors give us the examples of the real business world. They show us the videos and talk shows so that we learn from great leaders.
