Yesterday's Notable Events

Let's see...

First, the Starer on Table 17.
There was this dude. He was sitting on Table 17. Table 17 is a 2-people table that is very visible to the bar and cashier.
Every time I looked up from the cashier or behind the bar/sink, I'd see that dude looking.
First time, I'd remembered that they'd ordered two dishes for their starters. I'd served one of them, so I knew. I looked and saw that their second dish had yet to come. I went to the kitchen and asked for it. And it was sitting there innocently, it's just that no one had served it yet.
I peacefully went back to my former spot.
Second time, I saw that they have finished eating their starters... so I went back into the kitchen to ask about their main.
I served one of the two dishes for their main, not counting the bowl of rice they'd ordered.
I went back to my old spot, saw that they had no rice, walked back into the kitchen, then asked, "Has the rice on 17 gone yet!?"
My uncle/Boss no. 2 that was cooking, "Kitchen Hand no. 1-kun, did you take that rice for table 17 yet!?"
Kitchen Hand no. 1-kun: "No, not yet!"
So then I got the rice and headed to table 17...
I expressed my emotions out loud. "Who!? Who dared served the rice to table 17 before me!?" And I feel like killing you, Kitchen Hand no. 1-kun!! I then put the rice back into the kitchen and returned to my former spot when B-chan/Ruu-chan asked me,
"What was that, Mage-chan?"
Me, "I asked 'who'd served the rice on table 17'."
I didn't hear her answer, but it wasn't time to be talking so I abandoned the conversation.

Second, "We're Being Ripped Off".
I had a discussion today with one of my co-workers while we were taking the tables back into the interior of the restaurant.
The conversation started with Co-worker/J-shi asking, "Does your mom get paid?"
I almost dropped the (heavy) table in my hand. "Yes, of course!" Then I added, "...but she doesn't get as much as us... she get paid "per day" not "per hour" like us, so she gets the same amount everyday whether she worked for 3 hours or 6 hours... I don't know how much she gets paid though."
Okay... three's more to this conversation, it's just that I can't be bothered writing about it any longer.
J-shi was definitely shocked when I told her that E-chan gets $10 per hour and that B-chan gets $8 per hour, though... I can't blame her, of course...

Anyways, I'm going to finish off this blog and start on the one about today's! Preview: the appearance of our friendly neighbour creature; the cockroach! ;)
