The heading at the top of the page. I just checked and realized it's linked to the registration page. The one at the bottom, however, isn't.

It's working correctly from a normal users browser.

Maybe that should say regular user.

Maybe he just wanted to know where your house was.

Or maybe he was asking in a more philosophical way. There's just no way of telling.

Girl: Do we get time and a half since Monday is Memorial Day?
Me: Do you get time and a half every Sunday?
Girl: No, but we're supposed to.
Me: There's no law that says time and a half is mandatory on Sundays and Holidays.
Girl: Well my dad said there is.
Me: You're not getting time and a half. There are two exists to this restaurant, however.

Trainee: Is there supposed to be an amount in "A"? (I think: legitimate question, you're new.)

Me: There should never be an amount in "A". "A" should always have a balance of "0". Anytime you see an amount in "A" move it to "B" and adjust it off with the corresponding code.

Trainee: OK, there's an amount in "A". What do I do?

Me: Here let me write it down for you. (listening > you)

Trainee: What does that mean?

Me: It means, "Step away from the audit files, and go answer the phone, it's ringing."

Trainee (dispite the sound of the phone ringing in her ear): What?

Me: The phone, answer it.

Trainee: Oh, (gives me a nasty face as she answers the phone).

-a little while later-

Trainee: If someone needs a key to their room, can we cut it?

Me: ... (resisting SOOOOOO many options for how to answer that)

Trainee: ...

Me: Yeah, as long their photo ID matches the names on the reservation.

Trainee (with attitude): How am I gonna know that?

Oh, work just got a whole lot more interesting.

Trainee is new, and stupid. Pretend to have authority, it will totally buy it.

You know, I think I hear at least one stupid question per day and usually I forget it, but thankfully I didn't forget this one:

Maintenance Man:  Why did you order a case of straws?
Me: The build to according to the computer was 1.48.
Maintenance Man:  But you have one case and a few packs over there already!
Me: How many packs?
Maintenance Man:  About a quarter of a case.
Me: I needed 1.48, not 1.25.
Maintenance Man:  ...

Had a customer today:

Me:  Go ahead and login on the right hand side of your screen.
Customer:  It says customer number or login name, which one do I use?
Me:  Either one will work.
Customer:  Ok I did that, now I enter my password?
Me:  Yes passwords are required to login.
Customer:  Alright I have all that information, now what.
Me:  You should be able to login.
Customer:  Do I have to click the button on secure login.
Me(thinking):  No it's a trap.
Me:  Yes please click that button.

At times I have no other choice than to play the role of a crew person while at work at the restaurant. Once in a while I like to ask this question to customers:

"Would you like to buy one for the price of two and get one free?"

To which they always reply with:

"Yea! That sounds great!"

They're totally shocked when I tell them their total.
