Debbie Hutchens is Pizza Hut’s prized employee
Debbie Hutchens isn’t afraid of hard work. Yet when she nervously walked into the First Street Pizza Hut that warm August morning for her first day on the job, she wasn’t sure if she had what it took to be a good waitress.
Twenty-six years later, you could say it worked out.
In an industry notorious for its high turnover rate, waitress Hutchens stands out. From deep-dish to desserts, sodas to salad plates, Hutchens faithfully has served hungry dining patrons in the Grand Valley for 2 1/2 decades. Born and raised in Craig, Hutchens moved to Grand Junction in 1983.
Twenty-three years old and just off a divorce, she was looking for a fresh start when her mom suggested she move in with her brother while she got back on her feet. With the Exxon oil shale bust beginning to take its toll on the local economy, jobs were scarce.
So when a friend of a friend told her about a waitress opening at Pizza Hut, she jumped at the chance. She recalled thinking at the time: “I’m not sure if I’ll be any good at it, but I need a job. And I love pizza. I’ll try it.”
