Yesterday was a heinously busy day at work--from 9-2:30ish, I had $1000 in sales. Which is very good for a Sunday (usually by 4, I make between $700-800 on a good day). Unfortunately, I utterly bombed in the tips department and only ended up making $105. So all day my tips were roughly 13%. Ouch. I didn't feel like any of my tables didn't like me, so I'm not sure where the problem arose. My general manager said that the problem was that people who don't usually eat out were out to eat yesterday...and perhaps were not impressed with my service on our BUSIEST DAY OF THE YEAR. *sigh* Luckily for me, I regularly have nights where my tips are 20% all night, so I won't suffer too much.
In other news, I went to Whole Foods today because I needed "Greek style yogurt", which my local Giant Eagle doesn't carry--go figure! While perusing the dairy aisle, I found skyr, which is an Icelandic dairy product. It's hard to describe, but it was very good. It's much thicker and creamier than yogurt (in fact, it's actually a fresh cheese). I was intrigued to find it because I had read about it online and saw it on TV.
Lastly, I helped my brother get a job at my restaurant. It's not the most glamorous, but it's money, and he can move up to better jobs as other positions open. And he'll be living in our apartment for the summer (in my previous roommate's vacated room), so that's pretty neat.

Oh, I love Greek style yogurt. And I have never heard of skyr. I'll click the link and get the scoop. I've taken to eating plain yogurt with a swirl of honey. Mmmmm.
I'm not really a fan of plain yogurt, though I've only ever had the American version plain. I tried a tiny lick of the Greek plain yogurt when I was mixing up my tzatziki sauce, and it was pretty good. I may have to investigate Greek yogurt further!
In Turkey, there's a drink called ayran that's basically watered-down yogurt. I've heard that most foreigners (myself included) don't like it. I'm not really a fan of "real" yogurt, though. I only like the fruity stuff you can get at the cheap grocery stores.
