3 Staff members that stood out (why/how): Tori has mentioned wanting to branch out from the host stand. I don't know what who we need where, but I can't imagine her not excelling almost anywhere in the restaurant.
-honestly no stand outs. Everyone was on their best, professional behavior. I have noticed that servers are relying on storing sushi at the bar rather than maybe coursing food a bit more carefully when slower.
Any VIP's in? Had a woman walk her tab tonight. She was acting pretty strange at the bar. Looking around, but not needing anything. Staring a little too intensely. People are weird. That's fine. But as time went on, she began asking everyone around her for a cigarette, customers, servers, Kazu, myself... She had a fair amount to drink, and we cut her off. She seemed to be on speed of some sort. She had food but basically seemed more focused on drinking. After she was cut off, she asked Sophia if she could step outside to make a phone call. Sophia said she'd feel better if she left something at the bar to show she'd be back. I saw her leave and followed her out. When I saw she was planning on leaving altogether I asked her if she was going to pay for her meal. She told me she needed to go get her car at her house. I told her I failed to see the relevance of her statement and repeated the question. I also let her know if she left I'd be calling APD. She said that was fine. I called 311, the transferred me to APD, but no one answered, so I was transferred back and they gave me a service request number (#21761) and said APD would "call back." She left at around around 8pm. She's white, maybe 40's (or haggard 30's) about 5'4", long straight dark brown hair with a white coat and a black purse. She left about 8pm, maybe a little after.
-Sitting right next to the tab-walker was a small younger Indian woman who I recognized. She's very nice, but wants to order to-go food habitually now. She ordered some nigiri pieces for herself and asked Sophia to ask the sushi bar to cut them in half. Weird this comes up twice recently now. Sophia got a brow-beating from the sushi bar, particularly Andy, but the pieces were cut on the very explicit condition that the customer be made aware that this will not happen again.
-Rachel and Carlos came in. Carlos is on crutches in a walking cast.
-The only other person I recognized was the short girl with chin length blond hair that apparently on dresses in designer couture.

Update on Tab Walker: APD finally called back at 11pm. I gave them all the information I had. Case number is 17-5003611. I mentioned us having surveillance footage but that I didn't know how to access it myself. They said that would be a good thing to follow up on with the detective's office. The number is (512)974-5320. They said the detective would not contact us unless they had a specific lead or suspect in the case. Otherwise it's basically up to us. We should definitely bring her up, if for no other reason than to hopefully identify her should she return.
