Lame

Well, work started off great last week, but now that friends and family is over and we are just open to the public, things are SLOW! I had two tables Friday night and I made $15.00 after tipping out and Saturday night I had 1 table and I made $15.00 after tipping out. I'm probably spending more money than I make in gas. It's really pathetic. It's a new restaurant and I'm trying to be patient as the word gets out. I just hope it picks up. The good thing is that since I'm making such a tiny amount of money, I'm still able to collect partial unemployment. So, it's good because I'm not sitting on my ass. I actually have someplace to go everyday, but I don't have to freak out about money because I know that I'll at least get a little bit at the beginning of every week from unemployment.

It's just boring as hell standing around watching the front door wishing someone would walk in. I stayed until we closed on Friday night and then Saturday night (4th of July) they cut me around 8:30 p.m. I was cool with that cause I knew that nobody else was coming in on 4th of July. Typically, Independence Day is a slow day in any restaurant because people are shooting off fireworks and cooking out on the grill.

Oh well, I'm crossing my fingers that business will pick up.

I have a weird schedule this week. I'm off today (Sunday). I work Monday, I'm off Tuesday, I work Wednesday, I'm off Thursday and I work Friday and Saturday.

Well, I'm heading over to my parent's house today. See ya!

It will pick up. New restaurants always need time.

Brand new restaurant, so yeah you might need to be patient for a while. Income sucks now, but this is no Sizzler...once it does pickup, you will be balling and glad you stuck around.
