I got the results back from an in store mystery shopper today (so one that Josh had set up with an ordinary customer, as opposed to an official company one, which by the way was the level of the one I had the last time I wrote about a mystery shopper so I wouldn't have got $100) and I got 100% on that with the note "a credit to your restaurant" which was nice to read! We also got our share of the tip jar- a whole $15-woo! I had thought I was feeling better to...

Annie (the girl who is being a wimp about moving to the beach house) annoyed me this morning, as she was at our hostel early enough for breakfast and helped herself to a bowl of OUR cornflakes with OUR milk, nearly finishing up OUR milk so that I had a pitiful amount on my cornflakes (admittedly I was supposed to be cleaning) and then asked me to go to reception to get some more of OUR milk, because she wasn't staying there, when it was 9.30 anyway and so rece...
