Ghost in the Bar...

Interesting 2 days at work...

Saturday night, I had my new "victim" to train, she's very good, actually. I sat at the end of the bar and got paid to socialize, basically, whoot! I split the tips with her (she was very excited about that, apparently the other people that train just throw her a twenty or so, and I always split with the trainee, especially if they are doing all the work) and we each made $120, so not bad. We didn't get outta there until about 3am, (we closed at 1) and I had to be back at work a mere 12 hours later...ugh.

I showed up yesterday (Easter Sunday, not a good day for the bar business, let me tell ya) and was draggin' ass and dead slow all night.

Something sorta strange did happen though...

I was doing my cleaning stuff before we closed, and was in and out of the bar. There were only 4 people in the bar at this point, a woman my age that I adore, her name is Andrea, Julio, the cook, and Ronnie and Mickey, two slightly above middle aged guys, that were pretty much done for the night, as they were alternating between fighting and hugging.

So I walked by my tip jar, (it's on the back bar, nobody can reach it unless they are actually in my space) and I noticed a twenty dollar bill right on top. Hm. So I took it out, and it was actually two twenties, folded together. I know I didn't put them there, so I asked Andrea (she's an unemployed college student with a house payment) and it of course wasn't her. I asked Julio (he's a cook, obviously) and it wasn't him. The other two guys had left by then.

Now this is still bugging me. Yes, I'm happy I got an extra forty dollars, but I've been wondering if I maybe inadvertantly put it in there, but none of my tills were short! Is there a ghost in the bar? We do have ashtrays fly off the bar and break every so often, so that has been a running joke around there, but would a ghost put money in my tip jar? I think not.

Weird weekend...
