CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) With pent-up demand for dine-in meals colliding headlong into restaurants struggling to rebuild their staffs, Giselle Gaeta doesn’t have the bandwidth to be bubbly.
The Summerville location of Gypsy Pantry, where Gaeta works, is down five employees, so she and her colleagues are scrambling to cover for the shortfall.
“My main goal is to get you everything you need, fast (and) efficiently,” Gaeta said of her approach.
That wasn’t enough for a recent customer who bypassed the pre-calculated tip choices on his check to leave a “custom tip” of 8 percent on a $57.88 bill.

When former fashion editrix
Pauline Suaco-Juan was appointed executive editor of the Center for International Trade, Expositions, and Missions (CITEM), it wasn’t at all like she moved to a new planet. To her, it’s the same thing, just a different medium. And then the pandemic happened. “It’s surreal how life before the pandemic was only about a year ago but is already an entire chapter of world history unto itself,” she muses. Yet Pauline and CITEM adapted just as quickly as she moved from one industry to the next as though just changing shoes.
