Five

This morning I woke up to a yet another snowy day. This time of the year is the worst in this town, everything is cold and grey. I have always been partial to the warm sunny beach type not the snowy city type.But of course we participate in all of the christmas shenanigans to try and spice up this time of year. Today started off an ordinary day. I woke up, bundled up and headed off to work. The Casa de Waffle had a hot chocolate stand outside so i stopped by there first. I got to work and the inside of the place was covered in lights and christmas decorations. The boss called all of us girls in for a little meeting. Apparently, this year the boss decided that we would participate in the christmas theme. He bought me and all the girls santa and elve costumes. So we all proceeded to put on the costumes and start getting ready for the day. I ran out to get all the girls lunch before our shift started and when I came back the homeless man thats always wandering around town was dressed up like santa and had a bucket and a bell. So i walked inside and asked the boss if he had paid him to stand out there and collect a little extra cash, he said no. I guess the guy just assumed anyone coming into the Cafe would have a little extra cash on hand. The funny thing was that he was not asking for money he was just shouting lines from holiday movies. That night, me and the girls were going about our business, literally; when all of a sudden all of the lights and decorations from the celling fell all at once. I had to leap from the stage into a customers lap just so i didn't get smashed by the plastic reindeer that the boos had hung from the celling. If that wasn't bad enough, when I stood up all the money I had earned that day were gone. The customer had taken all the money I had. So much for holiday season, it almost killed me and robbed me.
