An Undesired Milestone

I did it! My first mischarge! I made over 21 dollars in tips today and 15.20 of that went back to the restaurant for a meal I forgot to charge someone for a few days ago. I freaked out at first because they brought three checks out to me! I thought I had messed up three times! But no, just that once. So there's yet another thing I'll be extra careful about from now on.

I was called over to the table by a woman who has been coming in a lot lately to tell the guy she was with how often she's been here the past week. She's becoming a regular, haha! Her son wasn't with her today, but he's absolutely adorable. He's afraid of the fire, so when the chefs light up the table he sits against the wall until it dies down.

Aside from being faced with my biggest screw up yet first thing, today went pretty well. It was slow, but steadily so, so I always had something to do. I had the last table, but still managed to get everything ready for dinner in a timely manner. Speaking of which, I'm covering someone tonight, so I'll be working a double today. They seemed so relieved that I could.

That's all for now! I've got a few things to take care of before I head back out, so I'll update later! Take a look at today's JapanesePod lesson--I think you'll find it appropriate for inclusion.
