Oh no!As you know the wife has her own Cafe, here's a little story for you. Entitled Saff!
last week on Monday Kristy had a small medical procedure and arranged for staff member let's call them D. To start at 6.30am on Tuesday Tuesday so Kristy could start later in case she was sore. Anyway Tuesday comes around, phone rings at 5.30am the sister in law that works for Kristy. D had texted the SIL to say having a sicky won't be in at all, so they were short staffed for the day. Kristy let D know that she had arranged for a fill in for the next shift but would require D to work Saturday as no others available. I should mention here Kristy only has Saturday off. Kristy phoned D on Friday afternoon to confirm right to work Saturday, all good. I said to Kristy I bet you a million dollars you will be working tomorrow.
Well 5.20am the phone goes off with text from D can't Work!still not well.
D rings Kristy on Sunday and will be right for Monday. Kristy said no shift covered and you will need to get a medical clearance, which D to their credit finally did.
It gets better.
As it is hard to get staff Kristy is always trying new staff. Get them to do an hour trial, to see what they can do and if it suits them.
This bloke came in last week is a chef apparently. So Kristy had him come in for a trial yesterday morning. About 20 minutes in Kristy asked him what he could cook, as they like to in house specials like lasagna, curries that type of things. His reply was that he has his own recipe book of things he can cook in his car and did Kristy want him to go get? Kristy said sure.
He went to go get it......... and never came back!
Kristy still hasn't paid me my million![]()

Good morning Guardians, I'm still hoping to get to the market for a bit today, though when I spoke to Tool Man yesterday, he reckoned he might be laid up with a cold, so I'll give him a ring first. I hope everyone is well, and that you all have a great day. I'm hanging onto L'Ariete for an extra day
