on clogged toilets...

one of the worst parts of working at the cafe is dealing with the toilets. the girls toilet is one of those models where you have to giggle the handle on every flush.

the boys toilet works fine other than that it gets used by dudes.

so basically last night i had to plunge a toilet for so long that i have a bluster on my thumb now. i have a plunger blister. i might feel better about this if i had been the culprit in clogging the toilet, but i am simply the guy who gets stuck mopping crap off the floor and plunging the toilet when it clogs (usually about every 7 minutes).

here's my idea: we should put a jar in the boys room and every time someone clogs the toilet, stick a few bucks in there as a tip for whoever (me) ends up plunging it. it won't change how i feel about plunging your dump, but at least it'll take the edge off.

shoot dang son!
that stinks on ice! i'm incredibly sad for you!! :(
you should totally leave a tip jar or else the plunger so they could take care of it themselves.
girls aren't much better when it comes to keeping the john clean, but i hope we're not THAT inconsiderate!
you're my new hero. :)
