First day of QA training

Well, I went to my first day of QA (quality assurance) training. It was only an hour and a half long, but it was during lunch time, so it was super busy. Basically, I learned what QA does, which is: look at the tickets after the cooks have prepared the meals, put the plates on the tray in the order in which they are on the ticket, add gravy, salad dressings, crackers, etc. Then they call the "runners" to take the orders to the tables if the servers aren't already back there. Very, very fast paced. Mostly, I just watched, but I also helped to put gravy on potatoes and chicken-fried steak, and the tortilla strips on the tortilla souop. It's not a job I'll probably ever do, but I still have to observe them, mostly I think because I am supposed to know what all the different dishes look like. Tomorrow is seater (hostess) training, plus my "pre-test" over the basic info we went over during orientation. Oh, and I also learned how to "punch-in", using the computer.
