Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Crazy pants neighbor came by to complain about a car parked on the sidewalk again.  I can't wait to meet this guy... Then someone came by asking if we towed his car last night.  It was left somewhere on the north side of the building.  He wasn't the one that drove it here last night so he's not exactly sure where it was parked.  Just knows that it's not here anymore.
Two tables tonight ordered Tako Karaage and then later changed their mind and wanted Tako Yaki.  Both Mandy and Stephanie repeated the orders back to their guests and both still ended up changing their minds.  Comps below
Steady start tonight staying about 80% full until going on a 30 minute wait between 7 and 9.  Clair had a couple tables that ordered nigiri and rolls.  The rolls where put on a wait and on the both tables half the nigiri came first and then the rolls (the ones that were on a wait) and then the rest of the nigiri.  The last pieces averaging a 20 minute ticket time.  Neither table noticed and thought that's the way they were spaced.  Lindsey was cut at 8:55.  Cut Mandy and Clair at 9:15.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
John... has absolutely no since of urgency at all.  It's to the point where I didn't even say anything to him.  I just helped bus when there was more than one table dirty.  I literally watched him for almost a full minute ring out a towel

Any VIP's in?
That mother and daughter (maybe 4 or 5 yrs old) came in.  The little one always sits at S2.  She is so freaking cute!!!!!  She loves salmon, edamame and PONZU!!  I want to buy one just like her one day
