I read a thread where the OP's husband claimed an allergy to all fresh fruits and vegetables to justify only eating out and not cooking at home

And he'd flip the gently caress out and leave the room if someone was eating fruit near him because of how "dangerous" it was.

Any and all fast food was shockingly fine for him though.

The thread is infuriating because it starts in May, people are screaming at the OP to stop eating fast food 5x a week and cut out deli meats, someone actually makes an effort post about her lifestyle puts her at serious risk of gestational diabetes and then 8 months later this gem emerges

Hi! Dropping in to mention that it is great that this thread is in GWS now, as I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes last week. Which means that I can't eat the vast majority of fast food and froofy sandwiches anymore. No more juice, no more massive amounts of apples, no more massive amounts of bread and pasta products. No more potatoes or rice. Any lazy low-carb recipes are appreciated! By low carb I mean based on my blood sugar measurements last week I need to be under 40 carbs per meal to keep my glucose level below 120 an hour after eating, which is what the nurse instructed. I'm already eating roasted brussel sprouts and mushrooms for dinner.

There have been other non-food updates but I suppose I should save those for more appropriate forums?

The thread is a crazy ride, and keeps getting moved around the forums (its in BSS now) but the gist of it is two broken adults with no self-control spend $1000s a month on fast food, star wars toys, extra luxuries etc. all while the wife being pregnant after they just bought a new house because the apartment was running out of room to store the husband's star wars collection.

WHAT
Did my first close at the new place last night and the person training me in was lazy and sloppy as gently caress. I was Not Okay with how we left that store at the end of the night. Also she was slurring her words a bit after dinner rush. She kept telling me not to clean things. Didn't mop the walk in, pull out the tables, or properly clean the steam table. Everything was half assed and she had us shut down the cold table and work out of bins at 7pm so it was awkward and slow to make everything for the rest of the night. Every time I cleaned up something she insisted that I leave it unused and work around it until the end of shift. It was really unpleasant. It wasn't anything that that I would consider a food safety hazard but it was just lazy. All to save less than ten minutes of dishes at the end of the night.

I think I know who I'm replacing. Always a wonderful feeling. :rolleyes:

Edit: to be more descriptive, we had all of the dishes done 15 minutes before close. O.o it was so weird

I like both berkinstocks and crocs.

Crocs plus insoles are great for that feeling like wearing slippers. Crocs are good if you walk a whole lot. Crocs are bad because Foot Sweat is an element unto itself which you will realize when The Rashes start. Your feet will develop a tolerance, in due time. They have a very short shelf life though, I walked my last late pair into paper thinnness after four months. I bought another after a while because the price was right considering the life they gave me, but buyer beware.

Berkies and their concordant insoles are like a trustfall for your feet that just keeps going. Berkies (especially with the cork insole) are great for standing a whole lot. However! The Berkie Callous (on the top of your foot) is a real thing that will hurt like a motherfucker until it conditions itself after the second week or so. Breaking in a pair of berkies is a mutual proposition.

Between the two, birkenstocks have the better tread to them. I like the alpros! The tops of my feet do not like the alpros, but gently caress 'em!

I did crocs for my time in the bakery, but for line work where you've got to worry about hot oil splashes and people walking on your heels, I'd go with Red Wings.

Two years ago, only an hour into a Saturday shift, I slipped and fell in front of the fryer (combination of torn mat and grease on the floor). No, I wasn't running, because I'm not a loving moron. Or maybe I am. It left some interesting scars, though, which is a weird sort of bonus.

Speaking of which, I really need to get some floor mats for the kitchen of a club I'm part of. We have mats for the dishroom and the stoves but people love to spill coffee and stuff in the spots where there aren't mats, and our tile is slippery as hell. Are the thick rubber mats with holes pretty much the go-to option? Was hoping there'd be something a little lighter as I'm the guy who'll have to drag them outside all the time to clean & mop.

There is a thinner, lighter mat that also works. It isn't as good with grease and oil but for coffee spills it should be fine. Alternatively, could get a couple of the large, heavy duty entrance/exit door mats from your local hardware store.

The girl and I went out for fondu last month and after the server did his "please don't eat raw pork or burn yourself" speech that psa came up in conversation. The server had never seen it but said he would look it up when they were slow. Halfway through the meal he swings by our table and just said "holy poo poo" and walked away.

Same. Apparently NYE is not as bad as the last three weeks, because while we do 800 or so it's almost all two tops, with occasional 3-4 tops for families with kids.

We're pretty much the polar opposite. The last few weeks weren't bad barring larger holiday parties every now and then, Wednesday was pretty hellish, and NYE is one of our biggest nights outside St. Patties. It's great money but I'll sleep like the dead afterwards.

My wages get garnished by the Dept. of Ed. because I never paid my student loans, so in reality I only made 36k this year.

e: I think its important to know how much other people make. If my employees don't know I make 15/hr, how can they possibly know now much their labor means to the company?


I know thats kinda abstract, but yearly income shouldn't be something you hide, especially among us. I made 47600ish this year, I want you all to know that. If someone trusts you to run their drat restaurant, that's what you;re worth. That is our strength, do not resent it, embrace it.
