labrujahToday is Day 2 of the 14-Day Work Marathon. That's right, I am working every single day for two weeks, and a bunch of those days will be doubles.
There is a tasty Caribbean food called doubles as well. Kind of like lentil curry between two thin biscuits.
Today I told two people from the cafe I was quitting. It was weird like "Oh, then how will we know each other at all?" We won't. I like them a bunch. They are super nice to people, even the lame ones like the terrible women with babies who came in today and ordered literally fifteen different items ("glass of milk, cup of ice, 1/4 lb. sesame noodles, just a scoop of chicken salad" -- basically all weird shit we had to make up prices for and weigh.) Then their babies threw the food and forks on the floor and we were supposed to bring them new ones.
We were super busy and there were like five people waiting to order and Insane Baby Lady #1 butted through the entire line to pay for like one portion of her awful custom order, and then she totally got CALLED OUT by an older black businessman who was like "Um, excuse me, it's my turn" and she goes "But I just want to pay for this." And I go "All these people have been waiting." And she FREAKS and throws a tantrum and is like "Why are you all ganging up on me? I just want to pay for this part of my giant unreasonable order even though none of you have had a turn yet!"
Of course the Insane Baby Ladies don't tip A PENNY even after I bring them like 3000 napkins and special foods. This didn't bother me for like 3 weeks but now I am super vigilant and feel very wronged when people don't tip (when we go to lots of trouble for them.)
What is a good way to guilt those people into tipping? Obviously all the nice people already know to, it's just the problem cases that need correction.
(The above is an example of my new style of entry: I begin on one topic, shift to two or three new ones, get in some complaining, then pose a question so you too can participate!)
