Who worked:
Lunch: Johnny CL. Alex, Mandy, Krystin. John was the SA and FR. Why? Because Gabe didn't show up, but he didn't feel it was necessary to let me know. We got into it via text. This is how it went: I asked where he was for his shift. He said "Did Dusten not tell you?" I told him that no, Dusten didn't let me know he wasn't coming in today. That I knew about yesterday. He told me he has a cracked rib and is getting x-rays today. I said ok. He said he called in yesterday and that he "would have thought Dusten would have let you know". I said I knew he called out yesterday but no, neither of us assumed anything further. Taking his lead, figuring he is going to continue not to show up to his shifts, I asked when we could expect him back. To which he replied "like I said, I'm going to the Dr today...it could be later this week or long. I don't know until I get an xray". I asked if he could get the rest of his shifts covered and to keep us in the look, afterall, we're not mindreaders. He responded saying that he thinks it's a bit bizarre that anyone expected him back after one day. He continued his text the same way he speaks to me. And that is very patronizing. I've had a few interactions with him that bothered me, where he has spoken down to me, or very sarcastically, and makes passive aggressive comments. But that's where we are at. We should ASSUME that Gabe won't be in to work for the next few shifts. I ended the text message saying that all I'm asking for is simple communication from him. So we'll see where we go from there. You can't fix a cracked rib, it will heal itself with rest and ice. Generally broken ribs are healed within a month or two. So I'm not sure what his plan is. I released his shifts for the week, so we will need to work to get them covered.

As a side note, I don't particularly care for him.

Dinner: Krystin, Grace,  Ruthy, Camacho, Clair CL. Patrick and Tori Host, John SA, Hiroe FR


Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
What an odd flow to lunch today. No tables at 11. Then at 11:15, literally 5 tables walked in back to back. Then around 11:45 we filled up within minutes. Went on a wait. At this time, the AT&T guy decided that he needed to shut down the wi-fi, so that threw a wrench in things for a minute, all the while I'm dealing with a very frustrating conversation with Gabe. But once the internet was back up and running, we were fine. It died at 1pm and we only had a few other tables come in after that. It was a strange flow, indeed.

Dinner started strong too with about 5 tables all lined up at the door. This daylight savings has people on the ready for their sushi! A few more came in for happy hour, but it slowed after that. Wasn't sure if anything would happen. We got another small push around 7:30 but by 9pm it was slowing significantly. I cut Krystin and Patrick at 8:30. I cut down to 2 on by 9, but it died and died even more. Cut Ruthy at 9:30 and Clair closed it down.

Specials:
O-Toro 1
Tsubugai 2
oyster
Fried IC (I can't remember how to get this to be discounted. 2 employees wanted it for dinner or bday dessert tonight and I couldn't comp it, had to void it)

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
- The AM crew rocked the busy lunch today, but the standout was John! He was scheduled as food runner but I tipped him out for both. He was hustling as an SA in his downtime from running food, and then would wait to hear the bell to run back and run food. He was a super duper team player today.
- Junko rocked, as always, at the host stand during our little hiccup without internet. Also, the ipad was about dead this morning. Whoever plugged it in last night  didn't actually plug it in all day. So she made due by drawing a floor chart right before we opened...which came in handy again when the internet went down.

Any VIP's in?
none!

Comps& Void Detail:
FNF for a shumai for a girl I know from a friend. long story.
Kitchen error for a hair found in a Kome Salad
Customer Kome Bucks. The description said GC, it was Leary's initials and it was from the end of June
1 bday Taiyaki
R&M needs:
Where are we with the camera repair/replacement?
The Internet has been upgraded to Fiber! At&t Fiber that is. The unit is attached to the wall near the desk and is plugged in under the window. Which now means we have to charge the ipad elsewhere. That Fiber thing CAN NOT be unplugged. If you unplug it, you lose the internet. And that's bad news.

however, after that I was having problems with the printer. It wouldn't print the specials...until they randomly printed at 10pm tonight.

86'd items/ need more:
I'm assuming the powers that be know that we have some quart container lids that don't actually fit any of OUR quart containers, right?
