I work at Christiana Campbells like the rest of my colleages because its a great place to work. Waiters transfer to Campbell from other units and restaurants all the time if an opening occurs. In reflection, why is the tavern a prime place to earn a dollar? There are plenty of reasons and points of view on this question but you need to look no futher than the kitchen and wait staff to garner a clue. Managers are constantly moving to other positions. Our executives come and go and move to different responsiblities and priorities. Yet the working staff remains year after year committed to making Campbells Tavern a quality place to work.
To look no further than your staff to determine the quality and destiny of our workplace is a concept that slowly permeates your conscienous here. It has taken about 30 years for me to realize this circumstanse. Its a tradition that was handed down by Bill Jones, Jim Hundley, John Sheppard, Dick Owes,and Frankie Lemon when I was a young man at Campbells in the early 70's.
Now that I am one of the old hands, I can trully appreciate the tradition they handed down to this tavern and the standards they imposed on themselves to make Campbells a legendary place to work and dine at. In the end, we the staff carry on with the responsiblity and need to see that Campbells remains a premier place to work in the restaurant world and a great place for our guests to remember.
