Okay, I LOL’d.
Thigh was roas-- … uh, baked, and consumed. Clean sheets on bed accomplished, hot shower for me, full tummy. Much deep sleepage occurred.
A who in the what now?
Tonight oughta be “fun.” Man am I glad I was early out last night.
Thank the gods we’re closed tomorrow.
CCD as a kid, Catholic school as a teen.
I should’ve gotten hazard pay or something.
That’s quality entertainment!
Most restaurants and bars, sure.
But places where not every crew member interacts with customers directly, while also busting ass for hours on end, tend to work differently. The tips are compiled & then distributed according to internal rules, which vary wildly.
Dispensaries, coffee shops … anywhere there’s a “tip jar” by the register (typically) handles things differently.
Lotta places tally up your hours and then tips go out by % of that, which to me is the most equitable process. Work more hours, get more tips. Call out (and thus everyone else has to work harder) and you get less.
At my current job, they wait till there’s enough for everyone to get fifty bucks, and then everyone gets theirs. It’s probably my least favorite thing about this place (I get the same tips as people who work half my hours 
) but it’s an entrenched thing at a long-time mom’n’pop family biz, so there’s nothing to be gained from grousing about it.
But it does mean if I work the fryer for seven straight hours (and thus never so much as see a customer) I’m not left out of the tip pool, either.
Guaranteed.
That’s, uh, going to become more common, in the coming years.
For not-good reasons, as you surely know.
Was tossing Monkey some treats as I was reading/typing, and he caught one in midair and ate it directly out of his paw.
What a monkey!
Now he’s lounging on the edge of my circle-chair with me, having investigated the option of going outdoors (the starlings are going nutz, and he wanted in on that party) but it’s SNOWING Y’ALL so he noped out of that idea pretty quickly.
So after nearly 70 F (sunny & sticky) on Friday, it’s snowing … and as the kids say, or so I’ve heard, I am here for it.
