Maybe a decade and a half ago I was at a bar in Austin and after like three hours of flirting the bartender was like "you wanna go in the walkin with me?" I had no idea what she meant but was like "sure" so we went in there and smoked weed and made out for a bit. Maybe it's just Austin?

Turns out they actually did do it in the store, just in a specific area that's off camera. Got caught anyway. bongwizzard posted:Maybe a decade and a half ago I was at a bar in Austin and after like three hours of flirting the bartender was like "you wanna go in the walkin with me?"

When I build my dream mansion there will be a fold-down bed in the wall of the kitchen walk-in. Also mood lighting.

When I was managing a bar, I hooked up with a girl on one of the couches at the bar - it was a night we were closed, she and I just happened to be in the area and it was the closest option. Best part was, a couple weeks later I found a buddy of mine and his then-girlfriend sitting on the same couch. They didn't find it nearly as funny as I did. No food at that place though.

Degreaser will mess you're poo poo up if you get it on you. That or it's another dish chemical that is highly corrosive. Manager spilled some on his foot one time and woof.

What the hell are you guys using? In my old fab shop we had to degrease all the steel and Al box tube before we could weld it and we were fine just using a strong dilution of Simple Green.

We use GreaseStrip Plus at my work - I think it's 10% lye. It's slippery because it saponifies fat.

I don't care what the implications of the word "eco" are, but the word "EcoLab" is the precise opposite of "okay to bathe in/wear/consume" and you get what you deserve if you do. e. I have had to call more than one person a dumbass for scrubbing their hands with butyl degreaser after filtering/cleaning the deep fryer. I get it, your hands are super greasy now and the handsoap doesn't seem to cut it, but jfc there's like a million boxes of gloves right beside the fryer use them if you don't want to get your hands filthy dipshit. rndmnmbr fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Feb 27, 2017 |

Does food grease require such extreme cleaners because it gets hardened or whatever with heat? Even the oldest and nastiest machine grease usually comes off your hands with fast orange and kerosene.

So, here's my question, unrelated to all this: How the gently caress do people go through being FOH and still want kids?

In high school I worked with a guy who would wash his face with 50/50 degreaser/water to try and combat his acne. He was surprised that it didn't help, I was surprised that a whiff of it didn't put him off from the idea. I got a reprieve from harsh chemicals when I went FOH until I went into ink. Now I work mainly in a room that's designed to contain massive explosions and is equipped with a fire suppressant system that is designed to completely fill and remove the oxygen from a very large room in less than ten seconds.Every drum of solvent has to be grounded because a single spark or charge could touch off an explosion that would be very big. As an example, this is what happens when you have a small bottle filled with vapor from a 91% isopropyl alcohol mixture which gets ignited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5RvwNBFMOY Now imagine if that happens with even a half-full 55 gallon drum of alcohol, which is sitting at the end of a row of 55 gallon drums filled with acetone, ethyl acetate, and various solvent blends, next to which are three dozen 5-gallon cans of things like glycol ether, methyl ethyl ketone, and heptane. tl;dr chemicals are crazy dangerous and I work with a bunch of ones that make Simple Green look like drinking water by comparison. But I have insanely good insurance and don't deal with the general public so there's that. Since this is the food thread, I made lasagna last week. I've never made lasagna before, but I love eating it and had some lasagna noodles I'd never gotten around to using. SO I made this recipe and oh boy had I forgotten how good homemade lasagna is. A fair amount of effort but well worth it.

Having children is really good preparation for serving customers it turns out. Tantrums can be solved the same way regardless of age.

Kitchen degreasers are nasty but they are rated to be "food safe"

I mean, I wasn't too keen on the idea of kids before serving, but this job has made me want to see a doctor so there's no chance of me having any.
