Blondes do it better !
I don't know if the title is really true, but apparently they get better tips. Today I talked with collegue E. about the fact that blond girls earn more tips than brunettes and boys, and that it was researched. This year it was researched by a student, Melissa Galm, a 27-year-old finance student at Holy Family University:
Throughout March, they reported their tips from each shift. The two blondes consistently earned more than their darker-haired coworkers. Then on April 1, they all were asked to switch their hair color - blondes going dark, brunettes and redheads going blond - and continue to report their daily take.
One of the blondes was removed from the study because she did not report all her tips and was always dying her hair a different color, Galm said.
Eight of the other compliant nine, however, began experiencing hair bias within a week. All the newly blond waitresses received higher tips, averaging a 5 percent increase. The one blonde who turned brunette, however, saw no noticeable drop in earnings.

Also a more scientific research by tipguru Michael Lynn showed this relation:
Moreover, the waitresses’ tips varied with age in a negative, quadratic relationship, increased with breast size, increased with having blond hair, and decreased with body size.
So now you wait what to do... dye your hair or be happy with your blond locks!

FAST – how to recognize a stroke
Not a very happy subject today but basic common knowledge. One of your guests or collegues can have a stroke or TIA. Both a stroke and a TIA are medical emergencies and need immediate medical attention. As a way of helping the general public become more aware of the symptoms of a stroke or TIA, a simple 'symptom checklist' to remember has been devised and publicised. This is to think of the word 'FAST'. That is:
F - Facial weakness. Can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?
A - Arm weakness. Can the person raise both arms?
S - Speech disturbance. Can the person speak clearly? Can they understand what you say?
T - Test for each of the above three things.
If any of these symptoms suddenly develop, then the person needs to see a doctor urgently. So call an ambulance FAST. The FAST checklist does not cover every possible symptom of stroke or TIA. However, it is easy to remember and it is estimated that about 8 or 9 in 10 people with a stroke or TIA will have one or more 'FAST' symptoms.

1, 2, 3 bend!
It's a fun trick to show to kids. First you bend as much as possible. Then you push just above your knees for about 15 seconds. Then you bend again and you'll see that you're much more flexible! Of course they don't believe you. Let them do it themself and they'll see that the CrazyWaiter is always right!
