The whole economic thang is really hurting everyone's wallet. I work at a restaurant, but in New Zealand it's not customary to tip (I've only been tipped once) so I'm on wages. Even so, less customers = less hours, even coming up to Christmas. I feel really bad for my boss. Yesterday there were only about 3 groups yet he still had to pay 2 chefs, 2 waiter/tresses, the delivery guy and himself.
