You know what? Like any divorce this doesn't have to be a bad thing. Think of yourselves, people, and fuck the corporations. Government is "For the People, By the People", and when you read "Corporation" read "For the rich, by the rich". Leave it behind and move on, keep your noses down and you might just teach those Krauts a lesson...

She's possessed of a certain Union Mentality, the new waitress. She tells me the minimum wage is going up. It doesn't matter, not to us, our income is tips, our wage is salary. And we can't argue that we're even close to minimum wage, we're not, minimum wage in the service industry would be the death of a lot of restaurants and small business. Maybe let the wait staff keep the tips and keep their minimum wage low...
She's new, and a bit nervous, breaking things, we gently tell her that we buy the glasses...a leftover from the days of G*** who in his nervousness would get drunk and then start breaking things, ..."That's illegal", she tells us, maybe so, but maybe be a little more careful...
Deliveries come, food, produce, liquor and wine. "I'm not going to put my back out to lift anything..." she tells us, then busies herself behind the bar polishing the same glasses she polished the day before. We're slow enough they haven't been used or washed.
She's one of those people who knows all of her rights, but none of her duties or responsibilities.
I met enough of these people in construction, the union guys who would do no more than they had to, would threaten to tell the union, the labour board, workman's comp, never the most popular guys, you'd never hire one but they would never show their flag until after they got the job. She's looking like one of those. She's found the wrong job, odd she hasn't sensed it, the owner's contempt is transparent, it doesn't matter, if she's not smart enough to figure it out she'll know when we bring in her replacement...
