I need a drink.

My manager and I went to lunch this afternoon. With the Hayden order form along for the ride. The Merlot we chose last week has been rejected by the higher ups because it's 'too popular'... This confuses me to no end. If the point is to sell wine and a wine becomes popular because it's good. Why are we not allowed to sell it? And our Merlot by the glass is currently the Rombauer.... and were losing money every time we open a bottle. Our cost is twenty bucks and it goes for ten dollars a glass. Not good. And lastly while at lunch the boss noticed that the pinot noir by the glass is even more expensive than the Merlot.

So, our last Beverage Director (who was fired) just keeps leaving a trail of fuck ups behind her...After about an hour he sent me home with the order sheets and told me to figure it out for tomorrow. So, here I am. Looking through page after page of wines. My eyes are starting to go cross eyed and I just want a glass of something.

tonight was fine I ended up bouncing from one side of the dining room to the other to grab VIP tables all night long, my chef was thanked in the dining room for the muscat that I poured 'with his compliments'.. Oops really need to remember to tell him when I do that. We made a crazy amount of cash so I actually went home with tips which I love. And I got some great compliments from the dining room on the new wine service. The bosses were in and they loved it. And tables are impressed. Good call me.
