New waiter, R#4 likes him, he's nice enough, but I'd say "a bit sketchy". He's staying at the shelter in Nelson, takes the bus to work - not a lot of help, given the restaurant closes later than the bus schedule will allow, and to show up and not do the formidable side duties - sweeping, mopping, cleaning - etc. seems a bit of a cheat.
So I volunteer to give him a ride back to Nelson, and he's telling me about his plans to open a restaurant. He's got it all figured out, has friends he's gonna hire, knows the menu, the suppliers, has a business model by which he can work only 3 days a week...
...and I'm thinking that maybe buddy you should be worried about finding a place to live, a reliable means of transportation, it seems obvious, but that's the furthest thing from his mind, he's worrying about linen and cutlery...
