work and stuff
those hot and beautiful ovens… tonight we were busy and everyone came at once, at 7pm. some of those last to order had to wait 50 minutes for food, but then by 8 there were no tickets at all on the rails and i could step out back and catch a bit of the band…
i’ve made some fake bon bons today, out of clay. you see, the bon bons in the dessert case tend to melt and then the chocolate sticks to the paper, but if we keep them refrigerated people would not see to order them. so i made fake ones to put out on display. is that crazy? yes.
they are sitting in front of me now and i am so tempted to eat them. i just hope that i can get the word out to all the employees so a customer does not get one of these by mistake.
there was a girl tonight, she called in a deep dish to reserve it, said she’d be in about 8pm. we sold out of deep dish by 7 and held hers. by 9:30, we figured she wasn’t coming and sold it to someone else. she tried to order it at 9:35. i went out to apologize and told her to tell the host when she gets there to let us know she is there. you know what? she had told the host. since she had arrived at 8:30, she told the host and the host forgot to tell us. she was bummed. mistakes happen, you know? we gave her and her friends some desserts. i was just glad that she wasn’t sitting near the table that got her deep dish, we could have had a fight.
joey’s got about 2 weeks left so he basically just clocks in and does nothing. he just wants the money but doesn’t want to work. tonight he clocked in and surfed the office computer all night. and then he tells me he wants me to write a letter of recommendation… the nerve!
it was a good night. i made a couple mistakes as usual. it’s sad when i make more mistakes than anyone else. really. one guy got the wrong to go salad. two orders had the same name and one guy got the salad with no nuts but he hadn’t asked for no nuts. he must think we’re nuts to forget the nuts.
