>WE JUST HAD A 5 TOP WALK IN 20 MINUTES BEFORE CLOSE AND I JUST CLEANED THE FUCKING FLAT TOP
>>219838336Good news. This flat top stays fresh.
Oops sorry teehee. I'll also be staying pretty long me and my friend need to talk about a lot of stuff over dinner.
>>219838336AHHHH SOMEONE ORDERED FOOD AT MY RESTAURANT NOW I HAVE TO MAKE IT AHHHHH
>tfw when a civvie orders a glass of water
>people came to my restaurant during operating hours and requested service in exchange for money?!>AAAHHHHHH IM GOING FUCKING INSANE
All memes aside, kitchen work seems like absolute hell. How can you stand on your feet all day simultaneously keeping track of cooking dozens of different dishes? I would have lost my mind by the first shift. No wonder Bourdain ACKed himself
>>219838409It's a job with an easy tangible way to take pride in. You satisfy people
>>219838409I did it for 3 years during the summer and I wanted to suicide and developed a general disdain for human beings, especially those human beings that enjoy food.
>>219838409I tried and got fired for being too slow.
>>219838409in a smelly sweaty environment, surrounded by retards, during antisocial hours, for shit pay. no wonder they have to delude themselves into thinking they're special.
nah nah nah, fuck this im out
>>219838409 You get a good pair of shoes, and after a while your feet just get used to it. Once you have the menu down, it's more about keeping the logistics flowing. Not too unlike those games like factorio, and the such.
>>219838336>>219838376>>219838378>>219838379This meme will never be funny no matter how much you try forcing it
>>219838409bourdain did heroin. u can never trust those guys even sober
Those videos of wagies freaking out because a customer walked in near closing hour are pathetic. >but I was done cleaningThen tell your manager to change the hours, or to put a sign out front saying "last order by" or get a better job.
>first day of working at chilis>oil hits my face and permanently marks mei'd rather work construction than go back to the kitchen
hey boss check out my donut.
>>219838409lots of crack and waitress pussy
>>219838638wagies at jimmy johns gave me attitude when i came in 10 min before close. i told them right away i was only buying their bagged chips and a cookie cause of my app discounts and they all stared at me and gave me shit.
>>219838336Restaurants have felons and certified retards in the kitchen. Their jobs could literally be done by trained monkies. It will be a cold day in hell when I feel any kind of sympathy for them
>>219838409>How can you stand on your feet all day simultaneously keeping track of cooking dozens of different dishes?Cocaine. Not even joking. Everyone in the kitchen is snorting whole fucking day. It's the only way to survive
one time we had a bus roll up less than a minute to closewe served them all and doubled the amount of money we made that dayour reward was getting yelled at by the regional manager for hitting 2 hours of overtime for 2 people, which was probably like $15 total while we made another $3k off that busI don't miss restaurants
>>219838703Retard here. You forgot the third group: illegals. A lot of them are retards, and felons, but tons of them are just run of the mill illegals that refuse to assimilate. I've actually run into very few felons, but I assume that's just anecdotal.
>>219838358You enjoy taste of cum in food?
>>219838336>20 MINUTES BEFORE CLOSE AND I JUST CLEANED THE FUCKING FLAT TOPMemes aside, whose fault is that? Just stop accepting customers after a certain time and don't start cleaning prematurely. I hate when restaurant workers do this "woe is me" shit.
Did a tour back after my 'dasher days. Sonic. It was a massacre - the frozen onion rings got all soggy - the drive in was packed. Don't know how I got out of there alive. Semper Fry
>>219838336>>219838376>>219838378>>219838379This meme will always be funny no matter how much you post it
>>219838376This meme is sometimes funny and sometimes not funny
Alright you must serve one of three families.An Evangelical Christian Family that has those fake one hundred dollar bill "tips" that tell you to read the bible since that's the greatest tip:)An African American Baby Momma with a fake weave and four children, one of which is a babyand finallyA group of vaguely hispanic cholos
>>219839168It’s the gay ass boss’ fault
>>219839304Cholos, EASY
>>219838672The funniest part to me is their lack of awareness. They start working in the one place in a 20km radius that serves food after 10pm and then wonder why every half dead office slave comes in during the late hours.
>>219838376This meme will always be funny online but makes me hate tipped wagies IRL
>>219839443Every Jimmy John's near me closes before the fucking sun goes down, and my city isn't exactly small.
>>219838336This is why I don't go to a restaurant that is about to close in 30 minutes. Same reason as to why I don't make a mess in the movie theater. Yeah, it's their job, but if you ever had any experience with customer service you would empathize with those in that position. They're tired and want to go home.
>>219838409Drug abuse or autism. Or both.
>>219838570I was so slow and useless, everyone hated me but for some reason they didn't fire me. They just put me on Friday nights, which were the busiest nights and also garbage nights, which I alone had to do, and Saturday mornings, giving me about 3 hours of sleep. Slowly they stopped feeding me too, or giving me coffee, and they all slowly started more openly showing their disdain for me.I guess they had hoped I would quit, I had a mental break finally after a year and went back to live with my family and went back to school. I ended up anorexia-tier skinny as well.I got hired because they got mixed up at the interview, I think they mixed me up with the other guy or misunderstood me because they told me later they thought I had experience.
I served front of house at a round table pizza during the first GWOT outside of Spokane and the shit that kids did back then to torture us made Guantanamo look like baby shit.
>>219838409It is fairly stressful, though I often wonder if that's because of head chefs just tending to be these intense NCO corporal types, aside from you usally being in a hurry to cook as fast and effeciently as you can.It was my first job, and the only aspect I miss is the free food and the fact that it was pretty good food as well (I worked in a proper restaurant not a fast food joint)
>>219838409I quit during a wedding party. I did everything this faggot asked and he still insisted on giving me shit. Enjoy working the line alone, faggot.
>>219839922>quitting midshift because your feelings got hurtYou're a gigantic pussy
>>219838996I tip really well so my food will not be tainted. Enjoy your free health.
>>219838607>stabs someone on shift by being careless>tries to implement an idea that crushes the restaurant because lack of preparedness/foresight>walks out in the middle of serviceYou all said The Bear was leftist, but this is a true representation of the work ethic of these people.
>>219838622no one asked for your opinion lol just flip my patty
>>219838638>>219839443This
>>219838336>dead night>boss wants to close early>sends back line dishes/spatulas/etc>get everything clean and put away>3 top comes in for food and drinks>mfw I wash the same dishes againIt's not that big of a deal. Staying buzzed all night helps, you care less and roll with the punches.
>>219838409Just have a smaller menu. 30% of people are gonna get the steak, another 20% will get a burger. Add one pasta dish and some kind of fish and you’re basically done.
>>219838336>Kitchen personnel have a minimum wage unlike waiters >this show has 7 people working 5 hours in advance before the restaurant opens >It's supposed to be a broke guy who can barely buy meat for his restaurant, but he's somehow still paying all his employees Such a horrible show
>>219838356Extra zest on this one
>>219838336>5'7 manlet>chinlet>fridge body>two facial expressions: eyebrows up and eyebrows downWhy should I watch anything with this loser in it?
that was my favourite thing to tell BoH in the last hour before close
>>219841031I think they stopped pretending that he's hot. Thankfully
>AAAAAAH I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE FUCKING EXPECTING ME TO DO MY JOB REEEEEChefs are pathetic.
>>219838336Every time I get overwhelmed at work I remember the "OH MY GOD I WORK IN A RESTAURANT AND PEOPLE ARE ORDERING FOOD FUCK" meme and I calm down.
>>219843088>>219839802Damn, someone already posted it.
>>219839802Unintended positive consequences.
>>219839304>will be condescending and overly righteous>will leave food on the ground, argue with you for free food, and leave no tip>will probably stay there too long and be intimidating, but will probably be funny and not cause troublebased on the tv shows I've seen, which is like the wire and breaking bad, gang members generally avoid trouble with people "not in the game", and tip generously to make civvies like them
>>219839304Cholos
>>219843205Everyone who worked on Sundays knows that religious people are some of the most annoying customers
