Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Lunch was slow and never picked up. I haven't seen it this slow for  a lunch shift in a long time. Cut Kelly at 12:45, went 2 on at 1:15.

Dinner was more of the same. Steady but slow. All of the tables were gone by 10:02. We went on short spurts of a wait here and there, but mainly just one in one out sort of thing. I cut Kelly at 8:35, went 3 on at 9, and 2 on at 9:25. The night slowed to a close.

A8 found a long hair in their Philly roll. It was a pretty long and it definitely wasn't hers. Being that we had 3 long haired fellows at the sushi bar tonight (Kazu, Lee & Spencer) I am assuming it was one of theirs, maybe lingering on their jacket and then somehow fell into the roll. The girl was cool about it, I comp'd both rolls, but it was pretty gross

Specials:
none
I made a one time exception and told Mandy she could buy a bottle of wine for Krystin's party tonight. She really wanted to bring the Carignan, and while they sell it at Central Market, she didn't have a way of getting there. I told her it was a one time exception. Since we don't have an open wine button she just rang in one glass. So account for that Dusten.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-Gabe let out his final protest today before walking out. It all started when he asked me if he could basically get a tsukemono for free, since his teishoku already comes with rice & soup, which are free of charge for employees. I told him No. For another employee, maybe I would be nice and comp it if they wanted it that much. But I said No. He ordered it anyway. I confronted him about it and he said the he asked Scott and Scott said yes. I about lost it. Since he started arguing with me about it, I pulled him into the office and gave him an earful about undermining me and essentially exhibiting insubordination. And using the whole "mom said no but dad said yes" sort of thing. He eventually said that he was done, and took his apron off, clocked out and will not be returning.
-Alex is a ball of energy and ideas on Mondays. Since it's the start of his workweek he is energetic and talkative! But he lead pre-shift this morning talking about Motinai, and it was great!
