33). It has been very true since everyone wanted to do what I did to earn more money. We even got into a couple arguments in the store. My co-workers didn’t like the fact that I always made more money in tips than they did. It was just simply amazing to me how if one person doesn’t like you then their friends don’t like you either. I didn’t go to work to socialize with my co-workers or to make new friends. The only reason I was there was to make money to buy myself the things that I needed. My boss was more like an uncle to me so he had my back at all times. He never let me do none of the hard work. I still decided to do it, because it was still work that had to be done. I didn’t want him to give me any discretion since I was his favorite. I even switched jobs with one of my co-workers so he can make good tips. That week he didn’t even make a dollar. He asked how I did it. All I did was connect with the people and show that I work hard for my money. The tip you receive from them will come from the heart. Not everyone will give you a tip and you don’t need to expect

    Mildred Pierce, by James M. Cain, begins in pre-Depression California, and ends during World War II times, also in California. The main character, Mildred Pierce, is a very attractive housewife of 29, raising two daughters, Ray and Veda. Although Mildred loves both her daughters, Veda is a particular obsession with Mildred. She constantly slaves away throughout the novel to do whatever she can to make Veda happy, despite the constant abuse and deception Veda inflicts upon Mildred. After a divorce from her first husband, Bert, in the opening pages of the novel, Mildred is forced to sacrifice her pride and become a waitress in order to support her family. If Veda were ever to find out, she would be appalled; a constantly recurring theme throughout this story is Veda's pride and arrogance, and her condemnation of jobs she deems to be menial. Mildred's main goal is to nurture Veda's musical talents, and manages to pay for expensive music lessons from her meager salaries as a waitress and pie baker. However, Mildred's luck is soon to change, as she takes up with an attorney and former partner of Bert, Wally. Mildred is able to use Wally's business and real estate savvy to build a restaurant out of a deserted model home, and from there create a thriving chain of three food businesses. After becoming bored with Wally, however, Mildred craves a relationship with another man, a prestigious local man named Monty. Veda highly approves of her mother's choice, as this makes her feel as if she too were more prestigious and affluent, despite having misgivings about her mother still being so low as to have an average, pedestrian job. All seems to be going well; even through Veda's constant demands and tantrums, she still gets everything she wants, and Mildred and Monty are happy. Monty, however, falls on hard times with the coming of the Great Depression, and he constantly mooches off of Mildred's affluence, making it a struggle for Mildred to cater to Veda's every whim.…

    The ones who were able to get seated, didn’t get their food fast enough. So they were displeased. As I observed all customers were no happy. One person at each table were aggravated and it showed on their face. The workers were very nice and pleasant. They would greet and take care of everyone apparently and promptly. When I would look into each of the relationships of each table, I would learn how a son and mother got along. I saw how he cared for her and how well he took care of her. Their nonverbal messages let me know what their relationship was and gave me reassurance that there are great children out…
