Todays been a pretty crappy day. Lunch shift at work was mega busy, with sales of just over £1.5k. When you throw in it was just 3 of us, one of which is a trainee doing his first day as a server (i.e. he's not all that much use), that's pretty intense. On the plus side we made £112 in total tips (after the kitchens cut, comes to like £31 each) for 3 hours, which is pretty ace for a Monday.
After that, just went downhill. My lunch from work was crap, really overdone. Then went home for a lil bit and got to spend some time with Jen for just under an hour, then back to work =/ She left at the same time to go to the vets to pick up Teddys ashes (yea, we had him cremated, big whoop, wanna fight about it?)
So back to work, it started out dead, but then out of no where we got slammed (like empty restaurant to full in the space of 40 minutes (when you consider we can seat up to 162 people, that's pretty nuts when we only have 4 staff on the floor). I got stuck with 3 benches (that seat up to 60 people), which included a table of 20, and a table of 10 italians who spoke pretty much no english and all wanted modifications to their food. Mean while our trainee was running the back section but was so damn slow I kept having to run over to his section and do half his tables (not really his fault, tis his first day doing that part of the job and he's being proper thrown in at the deepend). So twas a fucking full on nuts shift, over all we took £4k for the time I was there (I finished early today fortunately) but the tips were only £80 i.e. like 4%, which is then between 5 of us
So that put me in a foul mood (especially the big tables I had worked my arse off for, and they pretty much didn't leave a penny(we don't add service on, which I still don't understand why we don't, at least for big groups)), so left and was walking home, and saw a little crowd of people on the side of the road. I peered through and saw a little ginger cat laying motionless on its side, covered and surrounded by a pool of blood (obviously had just been hit and killed by a car) so that just made me sad for the rest of the journey home
poor little cat
TL;DR
Work was long and hard and I made fuck all money from it
Saw a dead cat on my way home
