so I started the ball rolling on a new Dining Place ( Restaurant) about 3 months ago. I did a TV show for my National Station in November and the reception as been well so far. business is good I will not complain, I am thankful for every day that I am able to work. I rarely get time online now because I am mainly doing prepping, cooking and I also assist in the sharing for the take outs and the Dining.
the experiences I have had since opening are mixed. there are a lot of unresolved anger that I still need to address. I know that the consumer is always right (
) even when they aren't and I have to grin and nod and act like a good little Negro when they are being rude, there have been a few occasions where I have flipped and not give a fuck and went off on a few trouble makers.so, anyways...
, I placed the woman I am seeing at the front to be the Maitre d of the Establishment. she has been getting quite a few "hit ons" and for the most part I just laugh, but there have been some times when I see her displaying attraction or unconsciously overtly seeking some of the customers approval and I try to explain to her what she is doing, but to her it is nothing.eg. The other day she had a a bad hair day. a guy came in and started commenting on her hairstyle, saying how crappy it looked. my chick quickly pulled out her black berry trying to convince the guy that her hair is usually not like that ,she proceeded to show him different pics on her phone. I seethed, but recovered after realizing that I was acting a little insecure.
eg.2. A very seeming wealthy older man comes to my place on a regular basis. I'm not saying the food isn't good, I am just saying I picked up from his first encounter that his nose was open for my girl (just saying "my" doesn't necessarily mean I "own" her!) and that is the main reason he comes by
. anyway, last week he came by early in the morning before I opened ( I do lunch and dinner) for Tea. his first question upon entering was " where is the young lady that served me, I caught it. I replied, " she is around back getting ready to come out". he had his tea and we chatted for a while, turns out he worked for the city of New York and is now retired.I told "Honey" that he was inquiring about her, but that he had no Idea I was her Man. I Kinda like it that way. I want to remain anonymous. two days ago, the guy comes back, he was in game spitting mode. I laughed from behind the wall as he kicked simp game to "Honey". he asked for a number to contact the place ( Read: HERS) but she gave him my number, which is the business number and she also did the most peculiar thing.
she has an alias, or a play off her First name. she usually gives people this name. what Honey did was give him her Real Name(
to myself, stay 
I said), I caught it. now this guy never comes out to my place in the evening, but he called the number and I answered it. he asked me if I had any chicken and that he was coming to get some.... . (you know he didn't want chicken right guys) 
, anyway he came by, she told him we did delivery, he said he didn't want it unless she was bringing it 
so last night, The Reverend came by. he was talkin to me and Honey and saying how he liked our union and we should get married. Honey quickly states that she doesn't think I am ready for the commitment. I laugh. I tell the reverend that I will not be pushed into marriage. (oh, the guy said he is coming for breakfast in the morning, next couple hours, so I'ma get crackin
) the conversation about the Gentleman came up because I was brainstorming what I should make for him ( he want's to be surprized, actually, he just wants to see the bitch as he gets up in da mornin ). Honey began saying she ain't gonna tell the guy we together, because I initially didn't tell the Man she was my Woman when we were rappin about the states. I told her it was cool with me ( if somebody asks, she would usually say that the chef is her Man, but the Gentleman has not asked as yet). my sister, and her friend was encouraging her, sayin that yeah, I should Have owned her up. I don't think that I need to, she knows she is mine, so why should I be telling the customers who shows interest? she is the one who should make it her point and duty if it bothers her so much.I sense there is something to learn
