manager that worked for Japes whom he promoted from a supervisor 's position during these early years. He was a young college graduate that had exceptional skills with the customer and was organized. Japes promoted Casper to front office manager, as the service scores were the highest they had ever been. Japes took him under his wing and coached him as best he could on how to manage the staff. Casper looked like a big Pillsbury Dough Boy and was a server that wanted to please. Japes, taking from his past

A suit represented one, who dresses the part, was well enough educated to converse on many different topics, politically motivated, and never took a stand for or supported any subordinate. The truly good suits took crap from

Classee and Japes became friends for life and would reconnect many times in the future. Mellow, was the executive chef and like a number of servers was promoted by Shorty from a line position. He was a worker that tried hard, but he was not a manager. Japes spent years in kitchens and worked with executive chefs as well as line cooks. Mellow was undoubtedly a good line cook. For all

Japes let him sleep off the booze and he snuck out the next day. Oh, reprimanded for his lack of control, never looked back. A few weeks later the corporate auditor visited the hotel to check out the controls. Oh, pointed out that there appeared to be a

His success would carry on and lead him to a successful career as a food service executive. Japes hoped during his tenure that Pepe’ Le Fete would have been promoted to food and beverage director. He put forth this recommendation, but Bootlick went in another direction. Just one of many mistakes the

The truth being Scam embodied a taker and over the years would continuously reinforce his lack of respect for him. The first hint of his taking occurred at a year-end review when Bootlick and Japes were detailing capital expenses.

He was caring to The Giver by taking the bad memories from him when he was really weak, like the war, and sunburn. Before Jonas was running away his dad said they were going to release Jape so he took Jape with him so he could live.
