Applebee's + Joe Biden

Little update here...

Last night (Thursday, 8/28) I had my first shift by myself at Applebee's. It took a few tables before I really got in the swing of things but I got it down now! I ended up selling around $500 worth of food but I only made $70. That's 14%! :-( I guess tonight will be better - my goal is $100. With Labor Day Weekend traffic I think that's pretty feasible.

Today I went to get books for school with Justin. We went to Lieberman's on Main St. in Newark. I had already pre-ordered my books so they were there waiting for me. It turns out that Justin needed to go to the Wilmington campus to get his because they were different sections. I picked out Alexa's books and took hers and mine up to the register. The girl gave me the subtotal for mine and I (stupidly) started to fill out the check before she rang up Alexa's books. Justin had to pay for her books. After that, we went across the street to Cafe Gelato - mmm. I got a Caprese panini. The service was a little bit below average but the food was fresh. We ended up driving to meet my mom to get a check to reimburse Justin and *another* check to get Justin's books. Justin and I went to Wilmington and got his books. After that, I drove around Greenville and we turned onto Barley Mill Rd, where Joe Biden lives. As we passed, there were like 5 secret service agents in his yard. It was a pretty cool sight! We headed home after that. Now I'm getting ready to leave for work. More to come...
