Lando, Oscar 

Saturday 10:50 am

 

DUDE 

SOEMBODYS GETTING FIREDDD

 

Good morning to you too Lando

 

I JUST CLOCKED IN 

there’s no way this is happening right now

me and daniel are hiding under the bar

 

Are you okay????? 

is someone blowing up the restaurant or what

 

NO 

things are being thrown around

some guy came in with his family for a engagemt brunch thingie idek who does that 

was being a little difficult

mazepin did not like that

fucked his shit up

 

^I think that’s supposed to be in present tense

 

grammer police 

 

Grammar*

 

dude i am going to die and you’re educating me

 

Making sure you die with honour 🙂

lewis is out back with suppliers he’s got no idea what’s happening inside

 

Lewis is the manager right

 

yep and the owner ehs gona go absolutely batshit crazy

anyway

how’s your morning going any luck w job hunting

 

Definitely not crazier than yours and no

I met with an owner today, said they need more experience so I can't stage :( 

 

ridiculous 

don’t u get experience from staging? 

 

Yes but that restaurant is very high end so they don’t have room anyway it was a long shot 

 

people screaming.mp3

 

They’re doing this at 11 am????

 

unfortunately

it’s all daniel’s fault 

 

Did he cause the situation

 

no

everytime he decides to help me out at the bar something crazy happens

one time at the END of our shift a really nice drunk man thought our restaurant was the toilet and pissed all over the floor that george had just cleaned

 

That is a more valid reason to crashout than a customer being a little difficult

 

ikr smths going on with nikita he’s really weird ever since he started

 

suit 

shit wisht lewis is abck 

illtextulater bye

 

Have funnnn

 

DYING?????

any luck with the maintenance guys?

we can’t keep the restaurant closed any longer 

driver dinner coming up

 

They bailed, I’ll try and see if Fernando’s free, if not I’m sure Lawrence has backup 

Don’t worry we’ve got a good team

 

there were a lot of people with him seb

reviews are going to be fucked for the next few days

 

Hey at least they’re not critics

We’ll be fine Lewis like we always have been

 

i can’t believe i didn’t stop it sooner

 

You weren’t there to see it it’s not your fault

 

right

i’ve been meaning to let him go anyway, yuki was  complaining a lot about his behaviour

 

and Lance

 

lance is always complaining but i can't blame him

don’t forget fernando

 

He doesn’t even work here

 

i swear he wasn’t that bad when i interviewed him

 

We really should’ve seen it coming

They’re great!

Looking forward to meeting you!

 

Oscar: Me too! 

And carlos is it okay if I message you? I’ve got a couple of questions

 

Carlos: Sure

 

Oscar, Carlos

Tuesday 1:01 pm

 

Just wanted to ask about how you generally work

Wouldn't want to disrupt your routine 🙂

 

Oh, it’s no problem I’m sure we will figure it out when you arrive

I should warn you I am not very clean when I work 

Yuki doesn’t like it

 

Yuki is the head chef?

 

Yes, he was the first chef actually

 

He sounds very strict

 

He’s nice, funny guy

but he had a tough career before he found Lewis

 

What about you?

 

Me and Alex joined together a couple of years ago

Charles was a waiter before Seb thought he was good enough for a promotion  we were struggling at the time so he had no choice

Zhou works part time events, so weddings, whenever some celebrity rents out the place,  things like that

He’s still a big part of the team though, he makes the best pizza

 

Ah, good to know

 

Also, I meant to mention

I have been working on something that's on my station

 so if you didn’t really mess with it

That would be great

 

Dish?

 

Yes I have almost got it down

 

Sounds good

Looking forward to seeing you

 

You too!
