I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

Today was the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

Tomorrow is actually Labor Day.

It will be quiet night for us Monday.

As of right now, we have about half the covers scheduled for tomorrow that we did last Monday.

Still a respectful night, but much quieter than it’s been since mid-May.

It’s also going to rain all day tomorrow, and this will cause people who will only eat outside to stay away.

None of us are sad about this fact.

Tomorrow will be quiet.

We are looking forward to it.

As a thank you today, we fed the team tonight. We also let them drink.

Everyone was done and off the clock and Chef put out a spread of steak, salad, empanadas.

All delicious.

The team gathered around the bar and decompressed.

They might not even be aware of their expressions but as I looked around the room, I could see the sigh of relief from everyone that Labor Day was finally here.

We have the final 4 week count till October 10, when we start closing on Mondays again.

We made it. All in one piece. For the most part.

Mostly unscathed.
