Paired Activity: Mini-Case Analysis

1. Read the following case and answer the questions that follow.

Mary is a college student who is taking a degree in Hospitality Management. For the upcoming
summer, she is scheduled to start her internship as a server in a hotel for three (3) months. Expecting
to be an event planner in the future, Mary has a strong feeling that what she will be doing on her
internship seems to be irrelevant to her career objective. She dislikes being a server because of the
long working hours, low pay, and heavy physical workloads involved in the position.

2. Discuss with your partner and comment about Mary’s internship by answering the following questions:

a. Based on your dining experiences in restaurants or hotels, do you think the workload of being a
server is heavy? How much do you expect a full-time server should earn monthly? For how many
hours should a server work per day?
