Let us know when someone is drunk enough to purchase the thing, will you?

I suspect that, like furniture, most of the cost is in storage and transport.

I asked my boss. That IS the package price. So 6x4 foot pizza, soda for everyone, room rental, magic show, gratuity, and all that.
That is a bit more reasonable.

You know...

When I do ridiculous things that break all kinds of rules, any one of which is probably an immediate shitcanning offense, I never get in trouble (like say, posting that very sentence).

When I try to scrupulously obey the rules and do everything by the book, I get yelled at for hours by everybody over the most minor possible thing, even when I don't even do anything wrong.

I think it's possible that God has my sense of humour.

There is a new girl at work.

She's cute, she likes video games, and she's actually competent.

:cake:

I hate customers with inflated senses of entitlement. There's this lady who's in literally every night at closing that none of us can stand because of her attitude. She never brings her card or ID; she frequently brings in a dog (which we're not supposed to allow); she'll continue to casually browse in the middle of closing; and she has no reservations about picking up a half-dozen movies and only renting one even though we don't have much time to work with.
Last night she finally crossed the line. While I was serving another customer; instead of waiting in line she came behind, flipped through the movies on the cart (which weren't checked in or locked yet), and walked off to continue browsing.
In the most polite and appropriate manner that I could; I basically told her that even if you're a regular customer, you're still just a customer.



Also, sometimes people are dumb enough to throw their cigarette butts into the outdoor dropbox, which is why we have a fire extinguisher installed in it. Today I found an entire book of matches that had been lit all at once and thrown in.
People will do anything to get out of paying their late fees. :whoops:

So that chick that I didn't get hired because of the magician being a horndog? I got her to work today. Because we have two parties at the same time and we are supposed to have a full house other than that so I need help. EVeryone else called in today.

I'm looking forward to it. Sort of. If shit goes wrong (like it will) it'll be my fault.

Ugh. Tonight was a disaster. The boss sent my friend home. And to top it off, well, there was an article in the Springfield paper and.. well...

Quote from: 'The State Journal-Register'
Jerry Neumann, former owner of Springfield’s Pizza Machine, wants his old customers to try his Decatur restaurant, Clockwork Pizzeria.

“If they come over and we know them by sight, we’ll pay for their gas,” said Neumann, 27.

So yeah. We've been handing out money if they can prove they live in Springfield. Most of them give us some of the money back, and say they'll be back because it's so much better than the old place. Well, so much better than the old place after Jerry left, that is.


Still. To have to pay people for gas to drive an hour to eat here? Takes a chunk out of the register, I'll tell you that.

It's 12 PM, Monday, and I've already surpassed my Bullshit Limit for the week.

It's terribly silly but at work we have an item listed in the system as "BALLS, VIAL". Every time I see it, I can't help but think "They certainly are."

There's a small chance I'll be working in a full-service fine-dining restaurant this fall. Maybe.

Well! I just woke up to our new server giving me a call.
Apparently the two owners got into an argument and everyone quit. Well, my side quit. The guys who work and I like. And when someone came in for a pizza they asked if we were open and the reply was "Yeah. But not for much longer."

So fuck. I may not have a job anymore? Or I'll work for douchey money guy? Maybe I can get a job at firewater or something.
Shit.This sucks.

What the hell? Was this completely out of the blue or has there been tension between the owners before?

Something like this happened at my mom's restaurant. The other employees were getting worried and told people they were closing. The next two days she was on double shifts and had almost literally no customers.

They've been boating all week together!

BOATING. You can boat with someone you dislike! Try it. It's impossible.

I...uh... I guess I have a job? I'm heading into work today. The server who called me worked yesterday so maybe it all blew over?

I went to work at 4. At the exact time, a group of four teens came in. I got their drinks and came up to the table. All four of the drinks were on a tray.  One of the girls flipped out at whatever they were talking about. Her elbow hit the tray and all four of them went down the front of me. I still have pepsi in my underwear. Fine. Whatever. So I got them more drinks. I got three of them down and was handing the other girl her drink when HER elbow hit the glass and that one went right down the front of me.

10 minutes later, I got them all refills and ANOTHER ELBOW hit the tray. the three of those? Right down the front of me.


And then they barely tipped me. $1.

AND  I STILL HAVE PEPSI IN MY UNDERWEAR.
