So I was at Squid Lips this afternoon for some music and a glass of wine. The deck was packed but I was able to get a table after a few minutes. I was nearly finished with me second glass of wine when that waitress that is the most friendly towards me stopped by to chat. They are all great but she takes a little extra time to talk. She is the one who told me about the old guy looking down her shirt the other night. Well her name is Stephanie. She's in her mid 20's I'd say. When I mentioned how crowded it was for a Sunday she agreed and commented that it might be because tomorrow is a holiday (President's Day). She went on to explain that she works Thurs-Fri-Sat and Sun and gets 40 hours in those 4 days. She is supposed to work tomorrow but she doesn't want to. She's really tired after 4 consecutive 10 hr days. Well she went on to say that each waitress has to get 10 customers to sign up for their e-mail list, each week, or they will cut a shift from them. Ten new e-mails a week? She says most of the customers are regulars like me and have already signed up.
I thought that was a lot to ask of them. It makes me appreciate their good attitudes there even more. One more reason that it's my favorite place to go.
I am sincerely,
Laura Catherine
