Pro-tip for youngsters. Offer to work the first week free until your employee is comfortable you can handle the job. That is how I got my first truly sweet job as a short-order cook. I was a 19 and on the road. This was in Berkeley and was the punk hang-out. Only had 5 tables. At the time I was a deadhead leavin' the tour, tired as fuck. "I tell you what, I'll work the first week for free, and I'll pay for the eggs I crack, no problem."


That was a cool job man. 1982 was punk bomb time. Flipper parked their van in the back, and Ted slept in it, and he would come in when I opened the place at 6am, "coffee!!" Another day, another day of speed for Ted.
