Today is probably going to be a long day for me. I have to work concessions for a local dance studio's recital, but if I get done early enough, I need to take my niece to a Seattle Storm basketball game. Larry, her mother's boyfriend is supposed to take her, but he has a bad back and really can't drive. My sister will take her, if I can't.
Well, today was certainly a day. It turns out that I didn't have to take my niece to the basketball game (Larry's back was better) but while working concessions (all by my lonesome, I might add) there were some moments. I was the only concessionaire working today, and it turns out that not only did they
not have someone work concessions yesterday, the front-of-house people didn't even know that
I was going to be there today! They were
very grateful. I was able to set up everything without having to rush and and there was no mad rush from the crowds, just a steady stream. Also, there was no intermission, just sales at pre-show for the two performances. But, the best part was that I got some tips! Three bucks! I've never gotten tips when there wasn't alcohol served, so that was cool.
