.215 x money honey
1/9/08 19:13Soooo. I worked my first double Saturday and made $162, which was good considering it was pretty slow for a Saturday; I only had three tables in the morning, though one of them was a big draft party. Sunday was also very slow and I was afraid I wouldn't make much, but I made $62, which pleased me since it was double what I was optimistically hoping for. Plus I sold a T-shirt! And then today...
We started off ridiculous slow. In an hour and a half we only had maybe two tables come in -- and no one at the bar, which is extremely unusual. After that we started getting business, but nothing ridiculous. No real lunch rush. I wouldn't buy food for myself because I was worried I wouldn't make any real money. Then some guy at the bar gave each of us girls a twenty for no reason. And then one of my tables tipped me twenty because of how slow it was... "to make up for" our lack of business. I really appreciated it. Aside from that, I'm not sure where all the money came from, because I made $132 dollars.
I had a couple of moments that annoyed me. Like when a group sat down across sections, one table in Nina's section and one in mine. At that point I had almost no business so I hated having one of my tables taken up, but I don't guess it would have made a difference since I still had four tables open. And then I helped one of Nina's customers at the merch station because she wanted to get her son a T-shirt, and part way through me helping her Nina noticed, showed up, and took the sale. I mean, they were her guests, but I was helping them before she even noticed they wanted a T-shirt. It bothered me because by all rights she should have let me make the sale. But she's a sweetheart... I mean, the guy at the bar who gave us all twenties gave them to Nina to give to us. She could have just kept them all for herself but she didn't, and I really appreciate that. So I guess it all balances out in the end.
School starts tomorrow. I'm excited. I also have to work, and I have to try to get to work on time when class ends at 4:45, I'm due at work at 5:30, and the straightest route there is up Route 1, which is always ridiculously trafficky. Plus all but one of the very upper level of the Hooters corporate office is coming tomorrow, so the managers are freaking out about us girls being perfect. So I really don't want to be late. Meh. I have to try to find an alternate route.
Danny and I want to get iPhones soon. Really soon. Like we might have today, but the AT&T store by his work closed at 5 because of the holiday. We might get them Thursday. I don't know yet. Maybe even tomorrow.
Gotta go do dishes.
