God damn, I hate it when that happens.
I had just written a really long entry full of clever remarks and acknowledgements and math but my computer froze and I lost all of it. So here's the bones of the post nix all the cleverness.
There was a table of 14 guys. Their check came to $1600.
There was another table. Their check came to $1000.
That was just 2 tables and, off those 2 tables, $520 was made in tips.
God this is really boring without everything I had before.
I could have made a shitload of tips tonight but I'm training so I made $6 an hour. I'm really not complaining. I learned a lot.
However, there's a party coming in on Saturday of 46 people. They've all pre-ordered their meals. They're each having our $66 entree. So 46 x 66= $3036. Plus they've pre-ordered wine. Assuming that one bottle fills 6 glasses, that's 8 bottles. Assuming each person would like 4 glasses, that's 32 bottles. Assuming each bottle is at least $50 x 32 = $1600. That's already over $4500 which is an automatic $900 tip. I will be working that night. And it will be fabulous.
Julie also got a job today. I'm very excited for her. She found something to fit her crazy summer schedule. I'll let her tell you more about it in her own journal but it sounds nifty.
Steven Soderbergh, director of Ocean's 11 and 12, Erin Brokovich, Traffic, Out of Sight, The Limey, Ero and others, came in tonight with his wife and sat at table 26. I hear he tipped very well.
James Malley walked by the restaurant today while I was eating my pre-shift meal. I realize he lives about 3 blocks south of the restaurant and probably walks by every day but getting his attention would probably involve some stunt that would either get me fired or him arrested so I'll just sit quietly as he walks by and munch on my noodles.
I need to sleep so I can pack.
Chuchi, I forgot about the negatives. I'll call tomorrow but I'm not going to worry about it for now. Thank you for offering.
I had all kinds of free dessert tonight. So good.
I need to go. Go. I had a coffee. And ice cream. I'll never sleep.
Everyone's leaving me.
I have a miniature bottle of Jack Daniels on my desk. To drink? I'm not sure. Lee Temple.
I'm not Shirley Temple.
