Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Started with about 6 tables initially. Had a really strange occurrence happen around 5:30- An older heavy set lady and her husband (also heavy) came in. She was talking pretty loud. They asked for a table for 2 and not "one of those teeny-tiny tables". Miriam, not understanding, took them to B5. The woman reacted "I said not a teeny tiny table!" and so they were sat at B3. They sat and the woman dropped her chopsticks. I saw her pick them up off the floor, take the chopsticks from B4 and then FLING the dirty ones on B4. I walked over and asked if they (motioning to the chopsticks on B4) had fallen on the floor. She said yes, and I said I would discard of them. Then Lindsey was up. She greeted them and asked them for a drink. The woman said she didn't know yet. Lindsey offered her Asahi since it's $2 Asahi Tuesdays. The woman scoffed "I don't drink beer" Lindsey said "Okay well I can get you some waters to start with if you would like" and the lady didn't say anything, so after a moment of awkward silence, she walked away (I observed and overheard all of this). Lindsey went back into the service station, I walked back into the kitchen to check on things, and when I came back Lindsey said, "I think they left"  They were already out the door before I could see them. Probably for the better. But just in case this results in some strange sort of yelp, that's exactly what happened. She was an odd bird.

After that things stayed relatively slow until 7pm when we got our pop. We went on a wait with two walk in 6-tops, a walk in 5-top and then 8 walk in 2-tops, sandwiched by another 5-top. We stayed on a 20 minute wait until about 8:30. I cut Lindsey then, and waited until the 9pm reso came in before cutting anyone else. I cut Mandy around 9, and went 2 on at 9:30 since clair was mostly occupied by the 9pm 6top reso. Everyone worked together tonight, thought, and the vibe was good. It was a ladies night (as shown above)

Our W2s arrived today.I handed out those that worked. All FOH are in my folder on the wall. All Sushi bar and Kitchen are in the top folder and labeled as such- any Ex-Employee I have all of theirs (and there are a lot) in the filing cabinet on the left most closest to the door. They're hard to miss because they're bulky.

On a side note: Dusten and Samara: after counting the safe and putting the money back in the bag can you please make sure the arch of the paperclip for each denomination is facing up- this eliminates accidentally pulling a 10 from a paper clipped bundle, or vice a verse putting a 20 in an already clipped bundle. Thanks

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Grace did well in the back b's with it being a smaller section.
-Miriam and Kelly really work well together- I have them training some new hires in a few weeks and talked to them about it and they are up for the challenge.

Any VIP's in?
Had a 6 top that two of them were regulars. They said they come in every Tuesday night with different people. I sent them 2 orders of Kaki Fry for their loyalty.

Comps& Void Detail:
comp'd a camembert to DNL- they said it tasted sour. It ended up just being more pundgent- the expiration date is the 7th so it was starting to over-ripened.

R&M needs:
Keep an eye on the water in the dishpit area. I saw John squeegee-ing some water into the drain. he said it was leftover from earlier, but there has been a lot of water on the floor in that area lately and I'm not sure what is going on, if a pipe is leaking or what.

86'd items/ need more:
I removed the buttons for Shishamo & Tako Kara-age. I replcaed the Tako with the Kaki Fry Button
