Hope he never needs a reference from Navajo City.
I didn't write about Mahlon, so here it is.
He cooked for a good part of the summer. Kind of crotchety cook, the kind that gets pissy if you take an order for eggs after 11a.m. I only worked with him once since I only come in on Saturday, he seemed nice enough to me.
Debi took an order from Jonah, his totally regular order that he orders every single day he is out here on the job. Jonah is one of our super-loyal customers. Three eggs over easy, pancakes, and ham. Mahlon was covering the morning cooks shift. After a while Debi went back to check how the order was coming. Mahlon wasn't in the kitchen and the order hadn't been started, so she just cooked it up. After Jonah was chowin' down on it, she went looking for Mahlon. He was no where to be found. She went and looked in his room since he was staying in the guest room here. All of his stuff was gone. He had packed up his backpack full of gear and hitchhiked out of here without so much as a see-you-later.
The boss says it was because he and Mahlon had been discussing philosophy and the boss said that people basically are incentitized by money whether or not they admit it. Mahlon was categorically against the profit-motive. We all notcied that he didn't give back his paychecks when he left.
Anyway, poor Debi! There she was just before the lunch rush with no cook. I would have collapsed in a dead faint at that, but nope. She just put on an apron and did both jobs. What'ta waitress!!!!
