"When I was younger, my parents would celebrate special occasions at this family-run restaurant in town. I looked forward to going to the restaurant because it was a treat and the food was delicious.
Many of the servers had been there 10 years, and when I was old enough to work, I started working as a busboy. I reset tables, delivered food from the kitchen, and enjoyed the non-stop action."
