Mama bear instincts...

Yesterday Amy went into work at 5 and got home shortly before midnight...a LONG time for someone with pain issues in her feet. It was UFC fight night, so that kept the sports grill/bar quite busy. One of her tables wouldn't give her the required credit card as a "deposit" for the cover charge. They insisted they were going to pay with cash. Later, when they said they were going outside to smoke, Amy asked the hostess to keep an eye on them. She, of course, didn't, and Amy was left to pick up the $60 tab when they all skipped out. The mama bear instincts in me want to run straight over and talk to her manager about their crazy system. But I know this is a valuable life lesson for Amy and that she needs to deal with it herself. Still, I'm quite ticked that people would skip out like that. Evidently it happened twice to one of the other servers and she had to cough up about $150. Seriously, I'm shocked that people would take advantage of my girl. But then again, I'm not. Unfortunately, the moral compass in this country isn't what it used to be. Sad, but true.
