Ack! My first day alone in the cage! Julie was there this morning and I got started up, mostly with no problem, but she left only a couple hours into it, and the day went very well, but at the end...oh, the end. It was terrible.
Firstly, I'm supposed to try to keep track of all the chips, monies, and tickets that go out of the cage during the last hour or so, and put it on paper and in the computer, making changes as things change (well, except for the immediate cash in my drawer, which changes every minute, obviously). Well, Julie wasn't there to help me out like she has been the last three days, so it was hard to keep abreast of the situation, so during the last half hour before the person to relieve me showed up, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to get everything and help customers and omg. I have such a headache.
Our totals didn't match the first 6 times we counted, I couldn't get some tickets to add up to the right sum, and I was just having a hard time. We finally got it all figured out, and I was only $1.00 over today, which is pretty damn good, considering the hundreds of thousands of dollars I touch in that 8 hour period.
Also, tips sucked ass today 'cause I had the morning shift. Usually when Julie and I split tips, I get $15 or so. Today, all to myself, no splitting, I got a whopping $9. WTF people. Guess there's not enough drinkin' in the day to make people generous, they only do that at night, and later in the night, at that. So I can see weekends aren't going to be good days for tipping, and the weekdays are.
Also, I think I'm going to get my hair cut in a bob when we get back from Minneapolis on Tuesday, as no one was open today when I got home from work. Bah.
