Server Chip

Problem / Need advice

I am currently a lunch server at a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant is open all night with no lunch break, but servers rotate with dinner servers at 4:30pm.
Since there is one server for both lunch and dinner, each server gets a tip.
However, the customers around 4:30pm are more subtle; it is the lunch server who is in the middle of the meal, and the dinner server who takes the check and lowers the plates.
The dinner server gets a tip for that customer.

Is this a normal part of the server duties ？ I have a few questions about the subtleties of the shift times.
I do not place a check on a customer while they are eating before I come up, as it is against the rules.

Please let me know if there are any differences in calculation between Japanese and American restaurants.
Thank you very much.

It's not a restaurant that started yesterday, and the rules have been established for a long time. It's not orderly for newcomers to complain about it
Then, we should discuss it and say that currently each person is supposed to get one, but from now on we will collect them once and distribute them equally, wouldn't that be digging a grave ？?

That is correct. It can be disruptive for a new employee to challenge an existing rule. If the current rules are considered fair, it may be wise to follow them.

If you feel there is room for improvement, it may be beneficial to have a quiet discussion with your manager or to exchange ideas with other colleagues.

Thank you all for your answers. The tip is of course split with the kitchen staff at the time. It is not the sole responsibility of the server.
However, since only servers rotate between lunch and dinner shifts, the kitchen staff is not affected. I am a little uncomfortable with the service I give being passed on to other servers as I believe the service I give is included in the customer's tip, but I will try to come to terms with it somewhere.
Thank you ！

The explanation apparently lacks consistency. It is understandable that there is some confusion as to whether each server receives tips directly or whether the restaurant collects them once for distribution with the kitchen staff. Perhaps it would be best to reconfirm this frankly with the staff.

I have had art makeup for 20 years and I touch up every few years as it fades a bit after a few years.

They will counsel you on the design of your eyebrows before you decide.　Since they are hand carved, they are put in like individual eyebrows, which I like because it is natural.　I am YUMI and I have an ad in Lighthouse, and the phone number is 808-386-4914

Mobil Home's rent of approximately $ 600 per month may include additional costs other than utilities. For example, you may have to pay for Internet access and furniture rental. It is a good idea to check with the official website of Mobil Home or the owner for specific additional costs.

You may want to check Mobil Home reviews about living comfort. While many reviews praise the comfortable living environment and convenient amenities, individual experiences may vary. Searching reviews online or taking a tour locally is a great way to get a feel for the property.

I recently moved in with my American husband's 86 year old mother.
I have a feeling that she is suffering from dementia.
I am concerned that this may become a problem in the future, and I am wondering if I will be able to leave my mother-in-law alone when I return to Japan with my husband.

Please let me know if you know anything about this.
① How can we get someone to come and cook and clean as senior care ？
② ① is there anything covered by pensioner's health insurance ？
③ If the dementia is severe, there is a possibility of moving into an institution. is possible, where should I ask for such information ？

If you don't mind, please let me know. Thank you very much.

Hello.

① Care givers can be asked for a single visit.
We used ｢ Home Instead ｣ when we went back home, but if you search for senior care you will find many.
You can ask for 3 hours or 24 hours.

② I assume by pensioner's health insurance you mean Medicare ？
I don't think it is available as far as I know, but
check with your mother if she has long-term care insurance.

③ My mother-in-law ended up in a nursing home, but
at that time she was in a hospital → facility, so the hospital referred her to several places. I think they were thinking about the possibility of being transported to a hospital in case something happened.

My mother-in-law did not have dementia, but there was a dementia ward in the facility.

First, we need to check if your mother has long-term care insurance.
My mother-in-law joined it with her company when she was working, and I paid for it myself after she retired, but I was very grateful.

this is a hot topic.
What is available in your mother's health insurance ？ and what benefits does it offer? You can consult with me for free in Japanese or English.
I know

Washington ・ Tomoko-san is Japanese and speaks English.
Mobile Phone (808)-753-0622
Office (808)-738-4500
I was told that I can consult with her individually, so I think it is okay.

This is about refunds for electricity, apartment security deposits, etc. due to a move.

I am requesting a US based agent to receive checks and other mailings upon my return to Japan.
For checks under 5,000 $ I was sent a PDF of the check and was able to redeem it on the US bank app, but if it exceeds the limit, I cannot redeem it on the app.

Does anyone know how to redeem these cases ？?

For checks over $5,000, you can still cash them at a bank, but there might be a hold on the funds for a few days1
. Here are some options:Visit the Issuing Bank: Go to the bank that issued the check (the bank of the person who wrote the check). This can sometimes expedite the process1
.

Your Bank: If you have an account, you can deposit the check there, but be aware there might be a hold on the funds1
.

Check Cashing Services: Places like ACE Cash Express, Check Into Cash, or Money Mart can cash large checks, but they may charge a fee1
.

Retail Stores: Some large retailers like Walmart offer check cashing services1
.

It's a good idea to call ahead and confirm their policies and fees. Do you have a preference for any of these options?

A local community center or senior center might be a good start. They may have volunteers and staff who speak Japanese. Searching the Internet is also a good way to find out more. A search for "Torrance Japanese social worker" should turn up several resources. You might also look for programs and support groups especially for seniors.

Do you have any recommendations for a new teacher who is currently receiving psychological counseling in Hawaii ？ I would prefer a Japanese-speaking teacher, but if it is difficult, an English-speaking teacher would be fine.

I have a lot of anxiety in my life and I have to do a lot of checking in my daily life.
Was your insurance covered （ We are HMSA ） and we would be happy to hear about your experience with fees.

Also, I have lived in Hawaii for almost 10 years now and have little trouble making a living, but with the rising cost of living, I am very concerned about my vague future and not being financially independent. But now I have a small child and working full time is difficult ・ ・. Even a few years after childbirth, I somehow don't feel better all the time.

I have few friends and no one to talk to about my true feelings.
If you have experienced anxiety like mine, I would appreciate it if you could share how you overcame it.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is hard.
A few years ago, there was a Japanese-speaking counselor at HMSA's online counseling service.
I think it was Arika, sorry, I don't remember her name. I believe her insurance covered all the expenses.
I think she may still be there ？, so please look for her on her own page on HMSA.

Since you are post-partum, is there any possibility of a hormonal imbalance ？ You could consult your doctor.
I have had severe PMS and have been given something like a light stabilizer.
They may be able to refer you to a counselor. Take care of yourself.

About 10 years ago,
I felt the same way.

I was full of stress from raising my children, and anxiety about the future.

I had a counselor, Setsuko Yano, but to use HMSA insurance, I first had to get a referral from my family doctor (I think it was my gynecologist)
I think up to 12 visits were free.

Just getting them to listen to you makes a lot of difference.
My son was 1 year old at the time, but I took the plunge and started working full time with him in day care before he turned 2.
The salary and day care cost about the same,
maybe even red.

But I have benefits, and looking to the future, I am very glad I worked.
The amount of pension in the future will be very different.

Take care of yourself.

Some people moved to
Japan, Texas, and Las Vegas because Hawaii didn't suit them and they were stressed.
Before Corona, but they can afford a house
because the cost of living is cheaper than Hawaii and the salary is better.
It's really too expensive to pay rent in Hawaii
so if you can't afford a house in Hawaii, you should consider moving
.

I hope you can talk to a counselor before you do that.
