MDR waiter taking omellete orders?

[mcatmcat]

Hi 

Quick question, I saw my MDR waiter taking orders for omelettes during breakfast at Ocean Cafe. I know that most assistant waiter do the ocean view as well  but this is my first time I see a waiter doing both MDR and Ocean View. By the way, he was not a great waiter so I was wondering if he was in training. 
 

thanks

That is not unusual. I have seen my waiter in OVC on numerous cruises.

I'm not sure how any of us not on that current sailing could offer anything other than speculation so sure it's possible he was in training.

They all multitask!

The MDR waiters all get shifts in the cafe.  I've even seen the maitre d' from Luminae helping out on occasion.

Cruise line employees normally have more then one job on a ship. A lot of MDR staff work in the buffet on port days when the MDR is usually closed for lunch.

All of the wait staff regardless of location, often are assigned to the Ocean View when not working in their primary location.    I have seen the Luminae MD, Waiter, Assistant Waiter and Sommelier on port days in OV when Luminae closed.    One day I was shocked to find our Assistant Waiter flipping burgers at the Grill.

I see both my MDR waiter and assistant waiter periodically in other venues.  They are both excellent.

I seem to remember this being cited as a reason not to remove the daily gratuity even if you don't go to the MDR for dinner.
