Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 11, 2024

Left out a few things but no need to sweat the small stuff.

“Okay, Arlo can do all that. What about me?”

Unpaid labour? Or will Janis wait at the tables too, when she seems to do quite well?!

Now we know why the push for the move.

“Bayou Bistro”? Will they have “Fried Alligator” on the menu?

That’s it! We’re not moving!

So this was the reason for the rush to get them down there? I hope Janis and Arlo pack up and go home. What a sneaky way to rush your in-laws just to work for them.

Add a restaurant to the real estate empire

Janis: “What will you be doing while I do it all?”

Blonde What’s her name: “Supervising”

Worked in a restaurant where I was busboy, assistant cook, prepper, dish washer and freezer cleaner. One of the best jobs I ever had.

And it’s just a part time job

when did they open a new place?

some dis, some dat

I called myself the Swiss army clerk.

The ol’ do-what-needs-to-be-done job description.

How can she be a cashier, assistant manager and be a sous chef?

Stay on the balls of your feet. Busy hands make for quick work.

That’s what I want to do – stand on my feet all day!

Run!! Warn the others!

They’re still living on a farm, right? Are they still selling produce there? I thought that was the profitable part of their operation. And since the bistro wasn’t profitable, why did they open up a new one, apparently in town? Do they think the new location will let them do better post-pandemic business than the one on the farm did?

maybe they should just get regular jobs, owning one is not their thing

The restaurant business is a messy, backbreaking business. Better to volunteer at the local library.

I thought they had a shop with take out food only. When did they open another restaurant?

probably want to take sous chef off that list – the rest, she could do

Like working at Dollar General

Welcome to small business, Janis.

Ok, my opinion just changed in an instant. They should not move there. Working in a small restaurant is life consuming and ruins marriages. Run.

Did Janis retired from her corporate job?

I think this is where Janis begins to regret the move. “Arlo pack it up. We’re going home”

Holy crap…..move back home!

Ugh. Cooking, serving, AND cashiering is incredibly hard. Minding the register WHILE ALSO in the back washing dishes? Not a fun time!

Here, Janis, watch the first 3 seasons of The Bear.

So… they’ve got more jobs available than customers. Thank the gods it’s a cartoon, IRL she’d be out of there in a heartbeat.

No wonder she was so hot to get Janice to move south!!

RUN AWAY!!!!!!!

I knew this was wrong rom the beginning!

I have a hunch what a goofer might be. But a gofer?

So, yes, it’s good they can be near the kids. However,they have all the expense to move and then work for pennies so kids can make it? They don’t need to find and buy another house, they can barter for the cottage. Janis already loves it, and why does it need to be bigger?

Nope. Just … nope.

“Welcome aboard. Get to work. We’re already behind”.
