Jump with the moon and move it,
Jump back and forth,
It feels like you would dare yourself
To work it out ..
You'll all be chuffed to know that the Woodman Inn at Thunderbridge has reopened after 3 weeks hard refurbishment. Going back there after 2 years away is feeling surprisingly familiar, despite the place having changed managerial hands, had a complete facelift and the majority of the old staff having left or been purged.
I had my 2nd shift today, on the 2nd day of being open again. I can barely believe that its taken such a short while for the old grievances to resurface. My main job-related gripe, which I never expected to worry about again, is this:
Stop paying by cheque.
Please.
It's 2012.
I don't even care that our new till system makes it much easier for us to cash cheques.
It's the simple principle of a person still living and going out for a drink like it's the fucking 1980's and using a cheque to pay for a bottle of Budweiser and a large chardonnay. Get yourself a debit card, Jesus.
In the same shift, a couple came in, cast their eyes over the sandwiches on our menu and said "We'll have the club sandwich and the salmon sandwich. On the club can we have one of the slices of bread toasted and the other only very slightly toasted, and on the salmon, one slice toasted and the other one plain?"
I can only assume they woke up that morning and thought 'We should go screw around with some chefs today'.
At least they paid cash.
