Bistro Blues

So the bistro has a really cool co-worker. The kitchen is ok, but they are suspicious of me, which is fine but my fellow server is super nice and fun to work with. So I don't have to deal with a long thawing process to get to a really nice and friendly working relationship with her. She likes to keep busy and keep the bistro clean, which I also like to do, so we work together well. 

Side note: it always amazes me how women in the kitchen hate the shit out of me when I first start working at a new place. They are so territorial! So angry I get to dress up nice and take all the customers' money! Well you should have tried being a server or bartender before you turned your nose up at customer service and got stuck sweating in the kitchen!!

Back to the server at my the bistro job...

She has a really thick mexican accent and shes super short. Its so funny to hear her talking with customers and see their initial confusion turn into eventual acceptance and adoration. "What did you say?" turns into "thank you so much! We had a lovely time!"

She claims she doesn't know much about computers because shes from the rancho (from the ranch) which I think is such a cute and funny thing to say. I help her out with the computer and she helps me out with the opening shift. Apparently I can wake up decently fine at 7am for serving work, but 5am, forget it I feel like a prisoner of war. By the time 3pm rolls around I'm ready to cry a tear or two for all other servers that have morning shifts. 

I've no idea how office people do it. None whatsoever!!!

On the downside, the bistro boss is flakey when it comes to payday. I recently found this out 2 days ago. Really marred my opinion of the guy BUT will make it easier to quit for the bar job when the time comes, so I guess it works out. How can you expect your workers to be on time, do everything you ask and then not even pay them a damn minimum wage on time? That's slavery in my book. And I'm nobodys slave! I don't care how "forgetful" or flaky you are!
