Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Busy night. Went on a wait around 6:30, came off the wait at 8:30, then went back on a wait at 9pm and got off the wait around 9:45. The night went pretty smoothly overall. No long tickets, happy tables. Didn't make cuts since we were busy right until the very end.

Had a group waiting in the lobby, a 4 top. Looked like a mom and 3 kids. The mom and one dude each ordered a glass of wine. I noticed the young girl drinking red wine and asked Grace if she ID'd her and she said no, because she didn't order the drink, the guy did and she ID'd him. So I asked her to go ID the girl, since she had the drink. The girl said she didn't have ID and Grace told her that she couldn't have the drink that she needed to hand it back to the guy. Well I kept an eye on the situation and  sure enough the guy handed the glass to the girl for  sip and she handed it back. I went over and told them if I see them do it again I would take it away, and blah blah blah the usual spiel you give minors trying to drink in your establishment. They weren't too happy with me and I'm not even 100% sure they all spoke English because the mom just laughed when I scolded them. Anyway, that was strange.

Then had one of the neighbor guys come over to tell us more people are parking on the sidewalk again (where the bike rack use to be) and he said so proudly "You know the neighborhood applied for parking permits, so, just so you know" all snotty and all. I told him I was glad they did and I think they need them and it's important for them to be able to park in front of their own residence. I don't think he was expecting me to side with him, so he just scoffed at me and told me that I should do something about the people parking on the sidewalk. I told him I can't patrol the parking lot all the time but appreciate him telling me about it and I would find the owners of the cars right away. I went outside and got the make and model of the cars, and found the owners very quickly. Luckily they were both waiting in the lobby and heard the entire thing, and were very understanding.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Clair was the teamplayer powerhouse tonight. I saw her all over the place, prebussing others sections, bussing her own section and watering. I mean, she really was just ultra-team player tonight it was great to see.
-Dusten also was in other sections and watering his sushi bar regularly. Great to see him out of his sushibar-comfort zone
- J did okay SA'ing on a busy night. Ruthy was right behind him to wipe and set tables and because of the bad-ass teamwork from everyone else, it made his first Solo SA shift smooth.
