This morning, Ryan got up to get some water. It was about 9 AM. Someone knocks on the door, and Ryan opens it. There's a black man standing on the stoop with a manila folder. He says, "Good morning!" Ryan goes, "Yeah, great" and SHUTS THE DOOR in his face!!!! So the guy knocks and knocks again...turns out it was his next-door NEIGHBOR. That cracked me up so hard.
In the past three nights at work, I made OVER $300. Not bad for like, 15-16 hours of work! I kicked ass. On Thursday, I closed...I had a 4-table station with one six-top booth (the MAX is usually three tables, and a lot of people have two now) since we were short people on the floor. So at first I had four tables sat--AND I was running food, keeping up with sidework, and pulling everyone else's weight. Haha. Jim even said, "Lauren, you're kicking ass tonight! Thanks for keeping up." And then yesterday night Jackie mentioned to me that Jim highly complimented me (and Amanda!) to her, saying we had a four table section but we both did an excellent job running food and restocking things. So...go me and Amanda!! AND I made $130 that night...alllll my tips kicked ass! I maybe had one or two that sucked--and not even that badly.
The only thing that pisses me off is that I had this awesome table, we were joking around the entire time they were there and they loved me, left me a huge tip and everything...Kevon (the key/manager) was walking around making table visits, and he was at that table. I was at the table across from them taking an order, and I overheard them talking to Kevon about me, saying, "Oh yeah, Lauren's awesome, we love her!" BUT. Kevon never acknowledged that I got a compliment all night. Cause usually if we get manager compliments, it gets announced in the back and we get a pin. But NO. I cannot stand that guy. HE IS A HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR AN EMPLOYEE--ESPECIALLY A MANAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, me and Brent (and a few more people) don't understand how he is still a key. He sucks. Big time.
Anyway that's enough for my rant. Also, last night I had a pretty good section, and I got to wait on my favorite girls!! Alexia came in with Erin, Kacie, Bonnie, Loren, Nick, Erica, Gina, and two other girls I didn't really know. And somehow it worked out that they got to sit in my section!! So that was really cool. And after work I showered real quick and met them up at Ale House. It was soooo nice to be able to sit and chat with my best friends again...I've missed em so much. :-D
I think I was gonna say something else but I forgot! I'm gonna go now...going to the tanning bed, then coming home and eating cereal with Ry, and watching CSI from Thursday night that I DVR'd, then going to the Super Bowl of Motor Sports! Yay! Have a great weekend, kiddos ♥
