What a Night
I started at 5:30 and had tables 1 through 4. They joined 1 and 2 together then 3 and 4. So I had one party of 8 and another of 7. I waited till 7 for the 8 to arrive then another 30 minutes before the 7 top which actually turned into a five. Just […]
Always Tell The Supervisor
Three nights ago I had this table of 10. Some arrived early and ordered some drinks that was followed shortly thereafter by the rest of the crowd. The first few brought a cake for the girl with the seventeenth birthday. Oh joy! So I put it in the fridge as it was her favourite cake […]
