>tfw a civvie (customer) tosses a grenade (orders a grilled cheese) into the trenches (the kitchen) 20 minutes before closing
>>221019857>20 minutes before closing(armistice)
why does he have so many pots and pans hanging out?
>>221019857What is it about this job specifically that creates this sort of attitude and ego? Theres other job that are high stress but it doesnt create this atmosphere.Its just fucking food
>>221019891Fucking civvies
>>221019905because they're ex-cons who can't get work elsewhere, they basically are conscripts press ganged into working in the trenches
>>221019891how else would you know he works in le kitchen?
>>221019905When mexicans can cook better than any michelin star chef you start to realize how grim things are for the white race
>>221019905It's high stress, but it's also pretty low stakes at the end of the day, and the pay is shit. So any retarded monkey with an alcohol and cocaine problem can be hired for it, and is. Other stressful jobs tend to be stressful because there are actually stakes to it, and so the pay is better and they select for stable and competent employees. So chef roles tend to be filled with unhinged retards, and they think it's more dramatic than it is because their career alternative is working at McDonald's or a gas station.
>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T LIKE THE SNYDER CUT, GET THE FUCK OUT OF LINE RIGHT NOW

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Dishwasher the wise?
>>221022245So powerful and so wise, he could even keep the tips he earned...without paying taxes.
I was the damn best dishwasher the restaurant I used to work for ever hadAMA
>>221022259Is it possible to learn this power?
>>221022267Not from a wagie.
>>221019857Right here! In my humble opinion everyone should be required to work a year in food service and a year in retail, like some countries do for the military, and people would be a lot kinder.
>>221022309These carts are public domain!
>>221022266Did the cute server actually like you or was she just being nice?
>>221022497She was cute but I was too much of a pussy nu-male to take her seriously. Truth be told it was several of them who were really nice but one of them truly wanted me and I played it off. I found out a year after I had left that she was using and they found her OD in a hotel room somewhere. It breaks my heart that I could be there to enjoy hanging out with her.
>>221022497NTA but I worked at a Hometown Buffet once when I was in my early 20s. I was the "carver", meaning my job was to bullshit with old people and cut them pieces of turkey, ham, and steak.I ended up dating the cute redhead server for a short period of time, but broke it off with her because she lived in a big house with like six roommates and one of them was her ex and it made me very uncomfortable.She came over to my apartment completely wasted at like 11:30 the next night and yelled up at my balcony until I dragged her inside and called a cab to come pick her up. My neighbors made fun of me and called me "Casanova" after that.Sometimes if the day had been really busy I'd jump into the dishpit and help the dishwashers after we closed, I'd score an extra half hour or so of pay and they'd get to go home a half hour or so early, so it was good for everyone.
>>221022753>How about that local sports team?
>Hey Boss, I was thinking we could have a 3 item "stable" menu of our best dishes and have the remainder of the menu change like you want>This would allow us to keep a consistent order with our suppliers so they won't get pissed off at us changing everything we get every day and maintain a good relationship with them, while also keeping our unique selling point of the changing menu>We'd also be able to negotiate for better discounts with a partially consistent order, improving out financial standing which has been a big struggle with this place>We can also bring in repeat customers that way if they particularly like one of the 3 main dishes>Really it's win-win-win, there's absolutely no reason not to do this>Fired? Ok, bye

>>221019891stops the herons from messing with them
>>221019891He took each of those from an enemy combatant
>>221021591I sympathize with the basic wagie on this, but not anyone who runs their own shit. Wagies are forced into unrealistic expectations about running the ship until the exact moment they close, then somehow cleaning it and leaving it in one hour. Yeah, you should allot 2.5 to actually deep clean (you fucking serve food), but the boss doesn't care until inspectors shut them down. Get off their clock.
>>221023605Ironically enough, all those tropes about coming in at the last second or ordering a huge order before closing after the manger let you clean early, basically dirtying the place and having to reclean are true. The way a restaurant survives is through public perception. If you piss off one person then you are pissing of 25 other people as a response

>>221023662If you had time to clean early, then you weren't doing anything else of value. It sucks, yeah, but that's your job.

>>221020513>literally fires a gun into the air because customers are lining uplol
>>221023953Gotta go to prison for a felony to own the chuds and Snyderfags apparently
>>221019905I used to work in a kitchen and I think it's because the job creates this fake dopamine feedback loop where it feels like you're accomplishing things when in reality you're just frying an egg.All the tasks you have to do are very clearly delineated and straightforward, while at the same time you're under time constant time pressure so there's this task -> completion loop where you feel like next time around you could go a little faster or do it a little smoother. Glad I got out, though.
>>221023784>8 years to learn to slice up a water snakejaps can be so pretentious sometimes
>>221023027That guy was literally me, only I had to wear a stupid chef boyardee hat
>>221024166What was your most awkward interaction? Most memorable?
>>221022753>>221023027>>221024166I forgot to mention, my name is Jeff and the first time she spent the night at my shitty apartment she called me "Jeff Boyardee".
>>221024205You know what Jeff? I fuck with you for keeping it real homie. Keep on carving meat and kicking up your feet whenever you can.
>>221024199Most awkward was when I accidentally told a woman (a friend of a coworker who came in to eat) that she looked like my friend from highschool's mom. Apparently it made her really upset because she thought I was saying she looked old.One of the servers was a raging alcoholic who would show up wasted sometimes but managed to hide it from the customers. After I quit I later ended up working as a bouncer at a shitty new nightclub and found him working there as a bartender. As soon as he saw me he pulled me aside and told me not to mention that he used to work at the buffet because he was fired and didn't put it on his application lol. When he was a server his entire check would get yanked for back child support, and he survived off of cash tips. I didn't believe him until he showed me a literal $0.00 paycheck (all of his money was seized but he still got paper checks for $0.00 every week, it was hilarious).One thing I was able to do that was nice was with the elderly people who would come in. I'd recommend trying the ribs and sometimes they'd say that they couldn't eat the ribs because the barbeque sauce was "too spicy" (it was just basic barbeque sauce). I'd ask them where they were sitting and then go in the back and ask the chef to set a few aside from the next batch without sauce, then when they were up I'd bring a plate to them at their table. It was basically nothing in terms of extra effort, but it made them feel like they were getting special treatment, which made them really happy.
>>221024231Thank you, but this was almost 20 years ago lol. I just checked and the place closed in 2021.
>>221024309I worked at breakfast place in the upper Chicago area as a dishwasher for a bid and I'll firmly say that regardless of not doing something, I bet if they asked you to carve, you'd be the best carver out of all of them. As for myself being a dishwasher back in the day, I loved and hated it.
>>221020540The media was pissed that audiences managed to force them to let Snyder cook
>>221024388I remember working with a Guatemalan, Mexican, Honduran and other nationalities. I loved running the dishwashing room and commanding men older then me to success every single shift I was on. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I had to do all the other work because guys get lazy but enjoying a cold one with the crew after a hectic rush felt therapeutic
>>221023785Nice
>>221019891Those are mementos of his fellow fallen wagies, show some fucking respect.
>>221019905Have I just got lucky? I've worked in a few kitchens and everyone is super chill, the most yelling we get is someone loudly, but politely, saying behind when carrying something
>>221019857this is genuinely how they act at chipotle
>>221019905The shitty part of the job is that during the peak busy hours you are constantly busy, you might need more prep work on ingredients so hopefully your colleagues do their shit right, customers tend to be pieces of shit that start nitpicking at the absolute miniscule things, especially when they fucking knkw you are really busy and after everything is said and done you still need to do prep work for the next day AND clean up the kitchen for 3 hoursIt just sucks, there's no feeling of accomplishent unless you are the chef.
>>221023785kek
>>221019905You don't know what it's like man
>>221019857Ngl I also thought the freakout before closing meme was stupid and cooks were just being bitches, but after working as a dishwasher, kitchen hand, and waiter I really began to sympathize with their plight.>that time I spent Christmas day working as a dishy in the Australian summer and the machine broke so I had to wash the entire hotel's dishes and kitchen equipment by hand Still the happiest era of my life though
>>221019905It's the time-pressure of it + often kitchens are cramped as fuck. The drama queen chef thing is a bit though, I've always worked with chill chefs (one I worked for was actually so chill it made me feel like a dickhead for being the angriest guy in the team lmao).
>>221024909Customers should be careful not to walk in too close to the closing time, but it's really the restaurant at fault for not setting the closing time an hour early.
>>221022266>>221022309Being a dishwasher really is the ultimate humbling experience, I think every man should go through it. I grew up in an affluent family, dad went to Harvard, I went to private school, hung out with the kids of celebrities and politicians, etc. Then I went to Australia on the Work-Holiday Visa and got my first "real job": washing wishes at the local Japanese restaurant. Got to meet people from wildly different backgrounds I'd never have really interacted with otherwise, got used to manual labor, learned to "eat shit" and be humble. It's almost nostalgic.
>>221025078Yeah what the fuck is up with Roman statue twitter people
>>221024409The post work beer is the holiest of things. In Aus they give you a "knock off" for just about any job that involves using your hands and man even the cheapest pint tasted divine.I miss my French coworkers, they were the funniest and I regret not getting their contact
>>221019857I used to work in a Greek restaurant. There was one couple that came in regularly, and every time they'd come in 5-10 minutes before closing like clockwork. Everyone except the co-owner/front of house host hated them. They were known swingers/wife swappers which was awkward because I went to school with their son.
I get that it can be chaotic if you're running a big ass restaurant and have to deal with dozens of different orders at the time, but they were literally just a sandwich shop. There's no known universe where making sandwiches should be complicated.
>>221025473>no known universe where making sandwiches should be complicated.Noooo!! You don't get it. A cheese sandwich isn't complete until you have stuffed it with kimchi, drowned it in olive oil and burned the edges.
>mfw the host seat guests on the wrong side of the restaurant half an hour before close (I need to mop)
>>221019857Get fucked. If it's that big a problem and the kitchen needs to close just say on your menu cutoff for last orders. Japan figured this shit out decades ago.
>>221019905It's not just food, it's art
>>221025565Isn't this a thing like everywhere? And even if it isn't, most people in the civilized world have the courtesy to not show up 15 minutes before closing and order a big ass dinner.

i worked in the kitchen for a tgi fridays for like a year and it was pretty chill, the head chef was a bit of a dickhead but there wasn't really a lot of shouting its was just very hot all the time and you're kinda scrambling to keep up with your ticketsi guess its kinda a plate spinny job which is something people find quite stressful
>>221019905its genuinely a fucking dogshit job to doand it generally pays very bad unless you are working in like the top 0.5% of restaurantsso they all become habitual drug users and gain a massive ego to cope with the fact they were too dumb to do almost literally anything else

I bought my dumb cunt wife a restaurant so she'd have something better to do with her time than ride my ass and spend my money. I do not envy any of the staff there, I'm sure she makes all of their lives a living hell. That bitch doesn't know the first thing about food. She gas getting on the kitchen manager's case the other day because she wants to switch from butter to margarine for EVERYTHING and if a single grain of salt winds up anywhere near the food, it's "too salty". Oh well, they shoulda gone to college and stayed out of jail lol
>finally finished stressful two week deployment to front of house>chef sees me visually rattled, convulsing after 8 top post church group walked in at 3 PM on a Sunday to order lunch and left a 12% tip>Reassigned to dish pit for R&RI <3 my chef

>>221024290>they couldn't eat the ribs because the barbeque sauce was "too spicy" (it was just basic barbeque sauce)one thing you'll notice if you spend any time around them is that older people just don't handle any level of spice as wellsomething they used to eat regularly like just a couple years ago can be too much now
>>221019905Doctors and nurses feel the same about their jobs tho.
>>221019857>CHEF! We got an order here for a tomato sandwich - except the civvie wants the tomatoes DICED not SLICED!>What the FUCK?! Don't these cunts realize it's only six hours until closing?! AAAAAAAAA!
>>221019857>just what I need to help me get through my shift : 6 pm till closing !!! (10 pm)
>>221019905Restaurants are (or should be) well organized and hygienic. The nature of simply operating a dynamic business like a restaurant erodes organization and hygiene. Depending on the restaurant, the closing time is set at a point that really wrings out the last customers of the night which means that staff experiencing lower demand will be ahead of their duties in maintaining that hygiene and organization (ie prep+dishes) so a sudden shift in that demand is a threat. If it's been slow for the hour or two up to close, the kitchen is stocked as much as it can be and cleaned to be ready for the next day and someone showing up unexpectedly fucks all that up.>AHHH SOMEONE ORDERED FOOOD AHHHBecause I've been busy with the sheer amount of orders and can't get caught up in other areas. It's Sisyphean. >t. never watching this fucking show
>>221025078For myself, the best part about being a dishwasher was talking with people and them telling me that I didn't belong in the pit. That I was a US citizen and that I should strive to be better. I had a bunch of parents of the female wait staff tell me to get an education and then date their daughters. I was making reckless choices back then and would say I would become better one day. Years have passed and the best thing about time is that we can control our destiny. Now I'm in college and managing an Amazon DSP with a headcount of 150 employees. I have two years left and then I get my bachelor's. >>221025122Once the kitchen closed and we were done cleaning, we would pitch in for a 24 pack of Mexican beer and get tipsy. We would curse each other out jokingly and talk about going out for the weekend.

>>221019891that's like asking why there are so many different types of guns. when you're in the kitch, a pot with a high heat capacity that can carry over to the next enemy ambush (surprise customer order) can mean saving a couple minutes. that's life or death
>no ice in your coke?>in this temple?!
>>221019905I work in food service though way lower stakes, but you get this dopamine rush where everyone is working together and stuff gets done smoothly and customers are happy and it really sucks when a small mistake spirals into a huge train wreck. Even people who enjoy the work get really burned out after a while.

>>221023731He's going to quit and start a life with Claire while Syd and Richie take over the restaurant They also set up Ibrahim (the older black guy) helping with the finances by franchising The Beef sandwiches
>>221032813Do you need a formal education to teach "AI application"? That seems like simple creative/critical thinking
>>221032813>learning how to maintain AI infrastructure from a community college
>>221032940Meant for >>221023752
>>221033039"AI infrastructure" consists of a bunch of rack servers, glorified GPUs, and UPSs. It's the same shit as any other server farm, they just run at high load. Anyone can do it with a couple of certs and an IQ over 95.
>>221033030Think about it like this, what you will pick up in four years, a high schooler will pick up the same thing. The difference between you and the high schooler is that you'll be more committed even if it kills you because that's what this rat race is at the end of the day. Who's willing to go the extra mile.
>>221033039You do two years in a community college to save money on your GE then get into the meat of the learning the other two years by transferring out.
>>221033093High school educations are on the decline and most kids are dumb normalfags who take no interest in technical things until later in life if ever. I'm not worried about competing with zoomers in the tech space, I just don't know how records affect employment in various spheres.
>>221033143You'll be done in 5 years and jumping into a crowded field, and by then there'll be a new thing to be focused on. I'd you're working dish pit right now, better just learn to either like it or start sunking dick
>>221033201I find it peculiar that the idea of self-education and working in the industry doesn't even occur to most people. I think it's because government schools train people to be plebs who follow credentialism instead of taking ang sort of initiative in their own lives for their own purposes.
>>221033190It's that exact reason alone that you need to make connections in college. People see the paper more then the person so you need to stand out and show them that you aren't what you used to be anymore.>>221033201M8 life is about progression and if you don't try. You'll forever be a fag8.
>>221019905cooks get all stressed because they have to do their job, so they all become cokeheads to cope, which makes them more stressed, and then they stomp around all day acting like they have real problems.

>>221033400>another old faganother oldfag*
>>221033433What a pointless correction
>>221033400I'm in college currently.Just go into a community college that specializes in what you are trying to learn. Take the test and start talking to an advisor about your career goals and what you need to get there. When I decided what I wanted to do; I first talked to people in the field I was about to study in and balanced the pros and cons.
>>221033663an oldfag and an old fag are two different things
>>221033785What's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander
>>221033785Yeah, but no one gives a shit. It's not worth spending a post correcting it and another post justifying yourself.

>>221019986
>really get into cooking during uni>want to become a chef>apply for over 100 kitchen porter jobs (literal entry level jobs where you clean dishes and shit)>still unemployed I don't understand. I'm a young native born English speaker looking for a job normally done by 40 year old jeets and excons. Why am I not being hired? It's minimum wage work
>>221019891You burn through a lot of pots and pans even for basic stuff to make stuff fresh >>221019942>>221019905Alright most restaurants fail because everyone thinks they are cooks and the service they are providing is essentially warming up food in certain ways. The margins are tiny. A bad day can sink a months worth of profit. It’s ultra competitive. The overhead is expensive as fuck compared to the profit The reason so many do it is because if you do survive and you are the 1 out of 100 you get very rich and have connections. And you can train new chefs
>>221034295Because 90% of young people are completely unreliable in minimum wage work. When I worked in a kitchen the kids 18-24 were lazy, called off, and were just shitty employees afraid to get their hands dirty. They didn't even really need the money since they all lived with their parents.Meanwhile the 40 yo deadbeats had bills to pay and showed up, worked hard, and covered shifts when the kids didn't come in.If you're one of those rare kids that actually works, you got screwed over by all the shitty zoomer employees.
You can talk shit and laugh about chefs all you want but the men who serve in the kitchen have the burn scars to prove it and you probably don't get any scars at your comfy job so just remember that the next time you order "no pickles" on your burger
>>221034798I lost a finger tip cutting potatoes and almost lost my right hand when hot oil landed on my wrist. Granted it was a learning experience but I truly believe people should try their hand in the restaurant industry as workers
>>221034498>desperate people are more reliable slavestrue>if you work hard as a kid, the other lazy kids ruin it for youno, I didn't know better as a teen, but as an adult I clearly see that the only thing that happens here is that your Jewy boss will crack the whip harder while intricately layering on excuses like this

>>221034909Jokes aside I was working my first job in a fast food kitchen and witnessed my coworker pull the grease out from the fryer and spilled boiling hot grease all over his boot. It was bad and some of the skin on his foot peeled off like a sock. Not worth minimum wage in my opinion

It was something you could absolutely ask for and it was no big deal, but when I framed it like that people thought they were getting special treatment and they loved it.>>221029726>>221029833I don't know if they can anymore, but back then I think what happened is he had a court ordered minimum amount instead of a percentage of his income. Since the amount was more than he would make (at the time tipped employees in my state were paid some fuckawful wage that was way under the federal minimum wage for non-tipped employees) he would take home $0. It actually worked out great for him because when he was drunk he was very personable, the clients loved him and he made a shitload of cash in tips. Since his take home income was effectively zero dollars he also got a couple hundred bucks in food stamps every month and I wouldn't be surprised if there were other welfare programs he was on.Sometimes you're better off when you're worse off I guess.>>221031589For me it was a feeling of shared commiseration and the knowledge that after the shift was over you were all going to someone's house to get absolutely fucking wasted and smoke smoke some weed and this time damn it you're finally going to gather up enough courage to shoot your shot with the cute server who you've caught looking at you multiple times.The job wasn't good but some of the memories were.
>>221035024You can just join discords where people in your field congregate and things like that. There are lots of nerds who still go online to autistically discuss the finest nuances of 1800's automaton repair or passive HVAC engineering techniques. You don't even need a degree to start a business. We live in a slave society, bro. The world is your oyster, remember?
>>221019905>Theres other job that are high stress but it doesnt create this atmosphere.not really, especially if they're done in an environment as hot as a kitchen.

>>221019986I guess we don't have to worry about that then
>>221019905It's not reality it's just how film makers portray it as an attempt to make it interesting.
>>221035674tbf eggs are disgusting
>>221035979That's modern tattoo culture for you. Just random completely incoherent doodles

>>221036150Tattoos have always been 99% gay but a lot of these zoomers just look like a clipart catalog.

>>221019857>>221019905>>221020058The real redpill is that modern day military service and modern day kitchen work are way more similar than the former would like to admit, and that's less to do with the kitchens and more to do with the military being shit
Eat at your local temple tonight. Don’t give anything a onions bath - it is already precisely sauced. Have a cold asahi super dry at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere with no fucking heathens. Listen in on the cell phone conversation of someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the toro raw. Clear your palate with a pinch of the ginger. Have a sake. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the salaryman next to you, but have a drink with him anyways. Eat everything in one bite. Tip your taisho. Check in on the egg. The egg! Do not chill out.
>>221037515wrong thread, we're already bourdainposting over here >>221035336

>>221019905no matter how good the food was, there is no proof of it after its been eatenthat must make some people crazy
>>221037905It's really mind numbing being a chef. You have to have excellent pace and one misstep can topple the whole thing over baka
>>221019891That's not a lot, especially for a professional kitchen. I have around that many different pots and pans and I'm just a guy who likes to cook his own meals.
>>221034798thank you for your service

>>221019905Because as a cook you're >underpaid>get no benefits>working an unpredictable schedule >working all the worst hours, nights, weekends, holiday, so you have no social life at all>everyone at work treats you like shit>customers treat you like shit>the job is very fast paced and constantly demanding>cleaning up the kitchen is a pain in the ass>day crew never restocks the fucking line or cleans up for your shift>if you get any downtime you're expected to be looking for extra work to do>all your coworkers are addicts and felons>you smell like dirty oil all the time and it never washes out of your clothing
>>221019905its an extremely high effort job that pays like shit so they need to invent these kinds of copes

Everyone in the cooking industry wants to fashion themselves after Marco Pierre White, and so they act tough and mean and angry and annoyed in the kitchen. But what they miss is that Marco acted that way not because he hated the work or the people who come order. He did it because he hated the cooking industry and everyone that would try to claim to be able to judge him. For those who dont know, MPW is the *original* kitchen bad boy. He was Gordon Ramsay teacher, and Ramsay stole much of his character from Marco. You can even watch old MPW tv shows and see Gordon working in the kitchen. Marco Pierre White is one of my all time favorite and most respected men. His story is truly legendary. I highly reccomend watching his lecture on his life. It moved me to tears when I first heard it.https://youtu.be/U-xCIstDBaI?si=FGXeQ2nTQVfew9dW
