Chicana on the Edge

Mentioning the unmentionable since 2004

The Nick and Tony’s Experiment
written by Regina Rodríguez-Martin
October 5, 2005

My first weeks at Nick and Tony’s are going well, but my feet aren’t used to this much wear. Being off work for a month really killed my stamina. Trying to build up again.

Just about every shift there’s competition: a bottle of wine for whoever sells the most glasses of wine or whoever has the highest Per Person Average. Today one contest was for whoever sold the most bottles of Republic of Tea iced tea. And I won! I got a 16 oz. cute little bottle of “Il Rosé” which is “made with Rosato grapes from Italy’s Veneto Region.” And I actually plan to drink it because it’s a rosé! The bottles of Merlot and Cabernet they usually give as prizes don’t interest me. I’m just lucky I happened to win a contest with a bottle I actually wanted to try (I’ve noticed the little “Il Rosé’s” in the wine cabinet and wondered about them).

Will now watch tv and fall asleep. Work again tomorrow. Compliments from the managers. Getting to know co-workers. Enjoying the different clientele N & T’s gets (as opposed to Carson’s. Ewww Carson’s!). Look forward to Friday as my first day off in almost two weeks. Rough schedule, but I’ve needed the cash.
