Last night, he only got up once at 3 am, to drink, and then stayed asleep until about 7:30! And he had napped like crazy yesterday. I got nearly seven hours of work in. I was pretty amazed. It made up for earlier in the week.
A Swanky Frank's Jr opened in Erie recently, and they're desperately juggling to figure out how much food they need and what kind of help they can get. Last night they ran out of vegetables, salad, french fries, and onion rings. So we had a fairly interesting dinner. They're basically an old-fashioned diner with real milk shakes, Vernor's ginger ale, and a dozen kinds of hot dogs. Simple and good at what they do. We also found out last night that the waitresses are the cash registers, i.e. they bring change, they take all the money from the customer, and at the end of the night, they pay the kitchen for all the food they sold. So they get all their own tips and have some incentive to wait on customers well.
I didn't know it, before, but tips stands for 'to insure proper service'! Interesting how that came about. I just always assumed it was just the way it was...
