Day 33

Yep, boring Wednesdays again. A full day dedicated to "Making Money in Restaurants". As we all know. VERY HARD. But having it put to you is difficult to take, and most of us, although grateful for the info, really did look at ourselves and have second thoughts.

Obviously I can't go in to too much detail, but this lovely woman came in, and gave us a very interactive, engaging talk about all the different aspects. What's also weird, and it's one of those horrible things that you know you know, but never actually acknowledge it. For instance, whatever industry you work in, you might pinch a few pens, a nnotepad to take home or something (or in one instance I know of, an actual PC). But in the restaurant trade, it's almost a given that staff will help themselves to a little bit of food. It's not food, it's money. And we heard about so many little scams that are rife in the restaurant trade. And this can be the main reason that a lot of restaurants actually go under. The excellent book Kitchen Confidential ecplains some of these.

They played Love Will Tear Us Apart on the radio today. Cool. Mika (again). Not cool.

Exam result day tomorrow. Very nervous.
