Flow of Business, Cuts and Ticket Times:
Slower start than it has been this week- picked up around 12:30 though. Went on a short wait here and there through 1:30. Had several tables come in during the last 15 minutes. The day was steady and there weren't any excessive ticket times. Cut Lindsey at 1:20 and went 2 on at 1:45.

I don't know what is going on in these here parts there here days, but this morning something strange occurred:  ex-employee Will & ex-employee (forget his name) drove up and parked next to the dumpster at 10:40 and I saw them in the back by the kitchen. Hector came out and was talking to them for a few minutes, then they came inside and said they needed to talk to John, outside. I followed John outside and he made it brief, about a minute, and then came back inside. I kept an eye on the red car since they were somewhat loitering on our property and also distracting our employees who were working on the clock. I then saw them go back to the kitchen door and call for Hector inside. It was becoming a problem now. Then they parked their car in the parking lot. I kept an eye on them and around 11am Will walked back around the kitchen and poked his head in the kitchen door said a few things, Hector told him to leave, and then they drove down the side ally. I noticed Abel's car was still parked in our lot so I asked him to park it behind McGuires- when he came back I asked if a red car was back there, and he said yes.

So I walked back there, and they were blocking the Garage door- I motioned for them to put the window down, to which he barely cracked it. I asked what they were doing and they said waiting for a friend eating inside, I said who. Then they changed their story to not waiting for Hector, and that they were waiting on a friend to go inside and eat, and didn't want to wait in our parking lot taking up a spot (which I didn't buy for a minute). I told him John and Hector were on the clock and weren't able to talk to them right now and that they shouldn't be loitering in our lot. They got pretty defensive and said they would take their business elsewhere, and drove off.

When I came in to talk to John and Hector about it, I asked who's friends they were, Hector said they were his. I told him they shouldn't be hanging around here, and they seemed as though they were up to no good. Hector got really defensive and started getting aggressive about why his friends can't hang out,  that they use to work here, and that other people that use to work here always come in the back kitchen door too. He seemed VERY defensive over the fact that I felt they were up to no good, being that they were trying to detract from his job. I tried to explain my points of reasoning (parking 3 different places, asking John to come outside to talk to him, and then after Hector told them to leave, they waited in the ally). He seemed to get it and started to back down but I agree with Vince now, he's one grumpy dude. I don't think he use to be that way.

3 Staff members that stood out (why/how):
-I also talked with John about visitors coming in and requesting him to go outside. He's on the clock, and should not be honoring the requests.
-Lindsey's prebussing was better today!
