Wherever the road takes me

I have left behind my fabulous friends and life in Hollywood to become an English Teacher in rural Japan. Who knows how long I'll stay here. Who knows what I'll do next. But check here to find out about my latest adventures.

Tips

I think I might become obssessed with tip money. I mean, I am not making enough money with my hourly wage, not to be obsessive about how much extra I will be getting. I know, I am lame. But, still. Today, I finally got a small cut of the tips...granted the girl in charge of me kind of got to kick back and do some personal stuff while i ran around, proving that I could do the job (I did of course, mispronouce the name of the deli on the phone a few times...once when the owner called) and the overall cut she got for the day was well over $100 (which for a small sandwich store during the lunch hour is unheard of) but whatever, I'm happy...I finally got a small cut of things.

Speaking of tips, I would like to take a moment to focus on the lame people out there that did 1 of 2 things in the past couple of days, while visiting the deli.

1) to the lady who sat at the table that had tip money on it ($2) and felt the need to pocket it, Shame on you!!! It was $2 and your sandwich cost more then $10...if you can afford to buy the sandwich, you can afford to not steal other people's money. You are a loser. Merry Christmas to you.

2) to the lady who gave a $2 tip on her credit card reciept then came back at the end of the meal and asked for a credit of those $2, because she "didn't realize the establishment was self-serve"...you are a ridiculous cheapskate...Happy New Year, no grow some class!

I too have had the experience of being a part of a pavlovian experiment when working in the food industry. They would put the money in the jar and I would start drooling...it looked like smiling but it was definately drooling.

As for the cheapsakes...just remember that Karma wins out in the end!
