Every kitchen requires its attendants to be trained. The following courses are given, in the kitchen, in San Blas.
$200MXN a week
Greeting, counting, ordering and complaining, in that order. Grammar arrives when it is needed at a table and not a sentence earlier. On time is not enough: you are there five minutes early, the way it is done in Germany.
$200MXN a week
For those who already get by. Talking, correcting, and reading something a German wrote. By the end the attendant argues in German without switching to Spanish halfway.
$100MXN an hour
One attendant, one hour and whatever that attendant needs. Good for an interview, an exam or a German mother-in-law. The hour is agreed on WhatsApp.
Payment: $200 MXN a week, or $600 MXN for the full month by card, Mercado Pago or transfer. Whoever is five minutes early the whole month gets $200 MXN back at the end; with the month paid in advance, $100 MXN. Arriving on the minute is arriving late.
$500MXN per person
Pork shoulder and back fat are ground, seasoned, stuffed into natural casing and tied by hand. Everyone leaves with their own, raw and in a bag. The machine belongs to the Chef and is cleaned by all of us.
$500MXN per person
Sauerkraut in a jar, mustard in a jar and fish from the bay cured Matjes style. The jars go home. The kraut needs three more weeks, and that rests with the citizen.
Not yet in force
Punctuality, order, sorting the rubbish, greeting by name and the silent Sunday. It is explained why a German rings the bell on the minute and not a minute earlier. This course is not being given yet; it is announced in the Boletín once it comes into force.
The date is confirmed the same way.
