Some restaurant happenings this summer…

…at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now:

1) Someone drops off a poster featuring a local garden walk, so I get a strip of paper and write it up so it says –

FEATURING [name of my one (older) (Thai) coworker who’s a whiz at the phones]!

- and then I leave it out on the counter and show it to all my coworkers, and act like her garden is being featured on the local garden walk.

2) When it’s super-slow for a few weeks when students are gone and we make do just fine with two people on mid-week dinner shift, we all want to ask the (Thai) (husband) owner to maybe try that regularly for a few weeks, so someone puts it in the ear of his oldest daughter and she reaches out to him with that, to see if it was something he would consider doing.

(Yet another example of [Thai] discretion, to my mind.)

3) My one (chubby) (Thai) coworker's shopping for crystals at a local (New Age) store inspired my one (older) (Thai) coworker who’s a whiz at the phones to go shop for crystals, and she bought one to help her sleep better, and also one for beauty.
