Tips for working behind the counter in fast-food joints

All checked in and unpacking everything that came with me and now in the process of organizing everything into its place, Check-ed Wi-Fi with no luck so far TODAY. I can always go and get something to eat FIRST.

Was going to head to Denny’s first but, nope., I wanted something new or some-thing different I have never had before now. Where I was the last one in the lobby. And just loved it, where it seems allot of these fast-food places have when you cash out a button to add a tip for them with your card.

A tip for what? Working behind a counter. That angers me to no end when counter help are expecting and wanting a tip for their services.

In my day I worked for $1.35 to $1.50 an hour in the 1970's, while in high school. And when I was 16 years old going on 17 years old. I owned my own ice cream truck with my friend’s parents.

Went to summer school in the auto shop starting at 8 AM to noon. The drove my ice cream truck all day all over the place making sales. Then at midnight worked the graveyard ship at Jack-in-the-box, and they were boxes then in the 70's.

Then, I got off at 7 AM and head to auto shop to do it all over again. Like Ground hog day. Same stuff but new day. And not once did I get tips for all the service I provided for my employer and as owner of my half interest in an Ice Cream Step-Van.

After settling in the motel room thought it might kind of be interesting if I took a walk around downtown Portland so I could get to know just where I was at besides, just downtown somewhere. It might be kind of nice to have a better idea exactly where I was at when comes to downtown Portland.

WHO knows I may want to come back for another visit in the near future. ONE never knows what leads people to the places they choose to visit.

All I know is I went for a very long, long walk in the downtown area where the less fortunate hang our of live on the streets. I started out around 8 PM and did not return to my motel room until about a quarter of three in the early morning hours.

All I do know is spending time walking and finding my way around downtown would be an asset for futures trips to the city of Portland. I feel it was well worth my time walking around downtown Portland as there are historic sites that I may have missed if it had not been for the fact that I was walking around a very interesting place, at least it was to me.

In the process I met some of the less fortunate that had it not been that I was walking downtown as the godlessly hour of the early morning hours.

I was beginning to learn there were several different areas downtown Portland depending on which bridge you crossed to get there. From one side to the other all in the downtown area of Portland, Oregon.

And that is why I was there, for one to get out of Klamath Falls to somewhere, where nobody knows who I am from Adam. It was nice to be in city where no one knows who I am or what my mission is and that mission is to help as many of the less fortunate as I can. Because I know what it is like to homeless. Maybe not in Portland but I have experience of being a homeless or a houseless person in my past endeavors. From Chico, Ca., Yreka, Ca., Redding, Ca., And Honolulu, Hi.
