At T.G.I.F part2

Friday, 5th, December

I started working from 9:30am today.
It was so slow and nothing attractive this morning to afternoon. There are many staff in T.G.I.F Machida more than 20 people but almost all staff works 2,3 days a week and we are supposed to work regular day and time.
I work on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday only lunch time. Today we have a person who is still training about customer service of T.G.I.F. The person was a friend of mine! We met first time in there, I did not know she came to work together. She is 3grade student of Obirin same as me. We took an year off last year, Ive been to Australia, she have gone to United State.
I was glad to see her in there.

Basically, I finish working 5pm on Friday but another staff who is supposed to change to my shift was late so I had to stay 1more hour. From 4pm to 7pm we have hoppy hour I already told past blog, so after 5pm It was getting so crowded, I was so busy greeting to customer, taking order, serving drink and food. Also there are many foreigner including Obirin English teachers, I tried to speak in their language. One of customer said to me "excuse me", "give me a moment, Ill be back soon" I said. Then few moment later I was back to there. Looking at the customer's face, I was really surprised! Guess what! She is a teacher of mine! We said "Oh my goodness!" and started laughing because she did not know I work there and I did not realised that she is there. She introduced to me her friends and I greeted them.

She and I will meet at the class on Monday so I would tell my friends about it!

Have you have such like exrerienses before?
If yes, let me know!

That happened to me one time. I was at a party with many friends at an izakaya. One waitress kept looking at me. It was kind of strange. Even my wife noticed, so she and all of her friends started joking with me. Finally, when we left, the waitress asked if I was an Obirin teacher. She wasn't my student, but she was my friend's student. She had seen my friend and I talking together on the train one time. Tokyo is a big place, but these things happen sometimes.
