Scott is home!

Scott is finally home! Luckily it only took 5 and a half this time instead of 7 and a half on the way there! He is re-energized on the Pizza Ranch!
He got home at around 8:30. I for once actually felt like going for a walk so I met him outside and away we went. We walked in a huge circle, but it felt good! My hands did swell up like sausages but suprisingly my feet seemed to de-swell. I realized that around the square in Mount Pleasant there are street lights, but once you go down side streets there aren't any. Hence why we walked in a big circle where the lights were.
It truly is an odd little southern Iowa town.

I promised my self when I started my blog (like 2 days ago :) ) that I would not bitch about work on here. We'll I've now decided since its a public blog, that I won't bitch about co-workers, but our "guests" are fair game!

Ill start with the background first. Our lunch buffet is from 11 until 1:30. At 1:30 we shut off the buffet lights, and stop selling the buffet. Otherwise people would straggle in all day and want it, and it would not be busy enough to keep a fresh well stocked buffet. We have had this policy since we opened over a year ago. Well today as I got off break around 1:35 an older gentlemen came up to me and asked if buffet was over because it looked like it was. I said yes it is, we stop selling buffet at 1:30. I went into the dishroom, and was busy in the kitchen. The old man and his wife and 10 year old granddaughter ordered and sat down. They had asked my cashier for buffet and she said that we had stopped selling it. Well she was watching them. They had only ordered 2 one trip salad bars. How 3 people were to eat that, I don't know. The cashier then told me that one of them had gotten cheese stix which were on the buffet and not part of the salad bar. She came up to me again and said this time they had gotten chicken, and pizza. I had to go up to them and demand that they pay for the food that they had taken when they knew they were not supposed to. Now what makes me more mad than anything is the fact that they told their 10 year old granddaughter to steal food, and taught her it was ok. When I confronted them, the 10 year old was very nervous and ashamed and the grandparents acted like it was nothing! I made them pay for a buffet, and then tool down the buffet, because all the other guests were done with buffet.

I hope that in my actions I'm setting a good example for Dayzy and Chayse and not teaching them to steal or cheat people.

What have people come to these days!?
