Welcome to Cracker Barrel

I got a new job at Cracker Barrel. I have never been so happy to work in a restaurant. Growing up in and around a restaurant I would have NEVER pictured myself working in one as a "Grown up." When it all comes down to it I feel comfortable in a restaurant and I was thankful when I got hired. Right now I'm am just about to finish up the training phase. Most of my days so far have been doing paper/computer work. I got my uniform and smock. Most workers in Cracker Barrel have smocks that say their name and have between 1 and 4 stars depending on there level of experience. Well my smock has a patch that says "Rising Star." Basically every where I go in the store for the next month people will know right away that I am the new hire. Actually this practice of placing the stars on the uniform is based on very strong psychological principles. The stars are reinforces. Cracker Barrels entire HR approach is based on behavioral observation and reinforcement. I can't wait for my first day of serving. I'm sure I will have so many blogs to post about what happens with me and my co workers. Come visit :)
