TIL we get a weekly bonus just for showing up on time for our scheduled hours. I like how Eileen motivates her employees. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife
In case you were wondering, yes, people in the small restaurant business really do call each other sweetie, baby, and honey. It's just like Flo in Mel's Diner. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife

Eileen (owner) to me this morning: "Customers are asking about the new testosterone on the line."
Apparently the new grill cook and I are creating a bit of a stir, especially since most people already know me as a regular customer. Kinda funny. #RestaurantLife #RetiredLife
Due to lack of help, we're closing today at 2:30 instead of staying open till 7:30 as usual on Mondays. I usually come in at 2:30 on Mondays but the owner kindly called last night offering the earlier shift. I like that. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife
Pro Tip: cfc means chicken fried chicken and not chlorofluorocarbon. #RestaurantLife #RetiredLife
Worked the lunch shift today; predictably busy for a Wednesday. Everyone's share of the tips came out to $31/person but the owner, in the spirit of motivation, said she bumped that up to $40/person and that's what each employee walked out with in cash. This is why I wanted to part-time with a local mom and pop and not some corporate entity. It just feels damn good. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife
I've noticed my anxiety level has decreased dramatically since I started working at the diner. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife
There's just something heartwarming about seeing people eat good food. #RetiredLife #RestaurantLife
