Izakaya Chronicles #2- Changes -
Looks like a few of the kitchen staff are going to quit at the end of this month.It always feels kind of strange to work with someone, knowing that the person is going to be gone soon.

About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Oh dear, thank God it didn't happen!
It must mean that the work is really hard--otherwise people won't quit.
Sometimes when I go to a restaurant and when I see waiters, busboys, kitchen staff working so hard for so little money it really takes away from my pleasure of eating.
The older I get the less I like going to restuarants for that very reasons.
Fairness in pay in ALL!

Thank goodness no one was hurt with the dishwasher!!!! Too bad there is a turn over coming to the izakaya!! Its always difficult to break in new employees....
be careful and ensure to check all electrical appliances b4 using Oba Chan....

Yeah, I’m glad it didn’t happen.

I agree with you but I have to tell you that there’s another reason why people quit even when the work isn’t hard. People quit when there’s too little work. It’s torturing that you have to stay in the kitchen doing nothing but wait, and wait, and wait… just to see only a few customers. And it is repeated again, and again, and again…

That’s true.

I don’t really know how to check such appliances, though. I still don’t understand what the problem was with the dishwasher. But I guess the dishwasher is the only electrical appliance in the kitchen now so we should be safe for a while. The electric blender broke last year, the food processor broke the year before… Oh, wait! There’s a microwave! And yeah, the one we had a couple of years ago suddenly sparked inside and went dead. Hope it doesn’t happen with the one we have now. ;)
Obachan, I'm so glad you didn't get electrocuted! My cat bites all sorts of cables around the house and we're always worried (he's once bitten off one of the main computer cables!) I understand how you feel about 'changes', good luck and I hope you get on well with new people too.
Wow! I hope your cat or anyone else doesn't get electrocuted! It's always a headache, isn't it? I mean the pet and cables.
My boss at the izakaya told me that one of the new staff started her work yesterday. Right now our biggest concern is if she would want to continue her work or not... many newcomers quit in the past as soon as they experienced their first busy weekend...
