I really think my days here are numbered.

1. I talked to a woman I thought was the Mama about my trouble getting customers and she immediately got up and begged these two men to sit with me. It turns out she isn't actually the Mama, but it was still a very nice thing for her to do. They were two blue-collar guys who obviously just wanted to be left alone but they softened toward me when they saw how nervous I was. Nice guys.

2. My friend B came in and bought me two drinks. He encouraged me to approach more customers, like sales people do who just keep asking until they make it. I need a goal however, so from now on I'll go for 12 instead of 6.

3. A couple of local guys who already knew someone.

4. A white guy who wasn't sure where he and his friends were sitting or if they were even going to stay. I went to talk to someone else and he sat down but another lady got to him before I could.

5. A white guy sitting with Asian men who all weren't interested in girls.

6. Didn't make eye contact.

There was quite a tussle. I was getting some water and I heard someone screaming in Korean. I looked over to see an older lady customer completely bitch slap S - our popular bartender/hostess. A couple guys held back S as the older lady beat a hasty retreat. Good thing she did because S was ready to tear her to pieces. After that slap I didn't blame her. She was in a rage and yelled at the bar back to call the police but he didn't. Police are bad for business.

7. Not sure if this counts; I hesitated as I walked past and said hello. Nada

8. White guy at the bar who just came to say hi to the bartender.

I'll just sit here and pick out karoke songs. I have a list on my phone because otherwise I forget my favorite ones. I wish I got to sing more!

9. Young gay in Navy "C" buying drinks for everyone. Success! He bought me 2 fireballs. I thought I would despise anything straight up but I really like fireballs! They taste like cinnamon and leave a nice warmth and aftertaste. Now I'm drunk.

10. Bunch of young guys, including a white guy. He said He'd be back. We'll see what happens.

Nope I guess not. However the guy the guy he was sitting with was very nice. We did this whole communication thing with our eyes. He smiled rather apologetically like "I'm so sorry, not tonight" and I smiled back and shrugged a little like "it's ok, I know how it is."

Ok so I made $100 tonight. $10 for Kitchen Mama since I ate dinner, $10 for the bar, and $5 for the waiters. That leaves $75 for me. The other girls would think that's a bad night but it's not bad for me.

You gotta respect S. She jumped right back in after that fiasco and started making money.

The one waiter, he doesn't really speak English, but he smiled and laughed in a friendly way when I gave him his tip.

11. Nice guys, but didn't want company.

12. I was lazy on this one too. I barely slowed down as I walked past and said hello and how are you.

It would be nice to have one or two more.

I made $415 for this week and worked 30 hours. That's $13.83 per hour. It's not bad, but I definitely want better.
