Ever have one of those days?
I couldn't even go home! I mean, seriously... let me have a split shift if we're that slow. I could have gone home, gotten a shower, grabbed a good lunch, taken a nap and been back in time for our dinner rush of all three tables.
I made half of what I normally do today, and that's including lunch and dinner, a double shift from the bowels of Hell. I had three tables for lunch and a total of six for dinner, plus two carry out orders. That's it, for eleven hours.
And to make it worse, I find out today that there is a Greek Festival in my area, so I can look at this weekend and only think about next week... when Motorcycle works a double on Tuesday and Thursday.
Bitch. Stole my Thursday. I love working doubles on Thursday. They are so much fun, slow, but you make a lot of money.
So this week was:
Tuesday: Open 10-5
Wednesday: Open 10-5
Thursday: Double 10-9
Friday: 10-9 (First cut, other girls come in at 5)
Saturday: 10-9 (First cut)
and next week will be...
Wednesday: 10-5
Friday: 5-9
Saturday: 10-9
That's a big difference. I know it'll feel good to sleep in, but it'll also be bad for the fact that I have bills due and no money for them.
Oh well. 11 hours down, 23 more to go!

We have been strangely slow this week as well. The fall, pretty much after Labor Day we get busy, but it would seem we are experiencing a delayed start of sorts. But, its like your boss says, bone days and meat days, thats a waitress lot in life. Hang in there! God bless.
