This weeks guest is Paige Henderson. Paige is currently employed as the Manager at Swine and Vine in Kitchener, Ontario. We talk with Paige about topics such as the ongoing debate about tip culture, making a liveable wage in the industry, sexual harassment - more specifically the differences between treatment of genders when it comes to work colleagues as well as treatment from guests.
Paige got her start in The Industry while in high school by getting a job in Tim Hortons. This introduction to corporate restaurants and structure eventually led to a job at McDonalds for the next several years off an on. This was eventually followed by a stint out west in Banff working at the Fairmont Banff Springs resort for a season. Once her stint working out west completed, Paige moved to Quebec and more specifically the Montreal suburb of Dollard-des-Ormeaux where she got her first job as a host. Eventually, Paige moved back to Kitchener-Waterloo and worked at popular Uptown Waterloo spots such as Fox and The Fiddle and Taco Farm. After several years at Taco Farm, Paige spent several months travelling in South East Asia. Upon her return, Paige moved on to working at Swine and Vine and continues to work there today.
