ExplodingChef posted:Speaking of menu descriptions, had a lady bitch out one of my servers because she didn't tell her the Nashville hot chicken was spicy. The "hot" in the title on the menu is bolded, a point or two larger font, and red instead of black. The description involves the phrase "brushed with spicy oil." the flipside of this is of course all the customers who bitch you out when you tell them it's spicy because "i already knew that, do you think i'm an idiot?" damned if you do, damned if you don't

So I'd been unemployed for the better part of a year when I was approved for a restaurant job at a local corporation that had several restaurants/bars owned all over town. I passed the interview and they had a job lined up for me that would be full-time and benefits working for a structured organization. I'd heard negative stories about working for them, but we live in a college town full of a transient, young workforce so I didn't take the claims too seriously, and hey it's also the restaurant industry. Every time I mentioned that I was hired there, I got the worst looks in response, usually just this grim "neutral face" from people who I respected. They were usually followed by stories they experienced or heard about the place, one of them from a workaholic former chef who's now high up at the local university where he just told me to quit and get another temp job. Another was a former co-worker from a human sausage plant where I once got in a fight with my drunken manager while on duty. He said that the three months he worked at where I just got hired were worse than the several years we worked together at our job. I figured that I couldn't just not have a job and went to the orientation. I have a pretty clean resume despite that year of unemployment and that one shitshow I mentioned months ago (plan on having the thread up within the next few days I swear), and could probably stand to take a hit from a short-term job if I wanted to jump ship. We had to print out some 20-30 pages of forms and guidebooks ahead of time. The person who presented it to us was half an hour late (she was almost an hour late to my interview), and the orientation was two hours long. The majority of it was a history lesson, the rest being info on the various people/establishments in the corporation, followed by a list of rules that we had to follow precisely. We had to sign about 7 or 8 forms, one of them being an NDA. Then another guy who we'd just seen as the assistant GM in the Powerpoint came up to the orientation with some rant along the lines of "New hires? Well, I guess you can't be as loving stupid like this one idiot we just hired. Used his loving fake ID at the bar where he was just hired. I mean can you loving believe that?" I'm paraphrasing, but it went on and this was on the floor of one of the restaurants where customers were sitting down. This is not long after two of us were told our beards were unacceptable (mine is admittedly long and pretty bushy, but the other kid's was attractive, short, and very clean. Also cooks were not allowed facial hair whatsoever, including sideburns from what the handbook said). I didn't start right away since I was working an office temp job, so I had weeks to just hear stories about this place when I broke down and applied to what's considered probably the best restaurant around by miles. I'd known the owner casually for years, and he is a ridiculously nice guy who'd been running a really good ship for well over a decade, putting out some of the best food I've ever eaten here or elsewhere in a casual environment and they hired me practically on the spot. This is a place I'd been applying to for well over a decade with no results. Three days before I was supposed to be working in Nightmare Land. I bit the bullet and sent out a really apologetic e-mail to the woman handling my employment to the corporation, since yeah I was in the wrong for doing this and I was unprofessional and rude and wasted her/their time, which I admitted. I got a response that was sent in the tone and form of an ex's last e-mail after a bad breakup admonishing me for what I did and what are they offering you because we had this/this/this planned for you. I still feel lovely, but I feel like I dodged a bullet and landed in pudding.

Goddamn ants always getting in the kitchen this time of year no matter how clean I keep the floors and walls. They don't get in the product but if you ever drop anything on the floor in the back prep area it'll be set upon in minutes. Is there anything I can maybe put in the mop water to deter them?

They don't get in the product but if you ever drop anything on the floor in the back prep area it'll be set upon in minutes. Is there anything I can maybe put in the mop water to deter them? Observe the ants and follow where they are going. Then get poison gel bait. You're gonna want to put poisoned ant bait gell OUTSIDE on their tracks, on the wall near pipe and electrical, and INSIDE near any pipes or entry sources for water (also toilets!). Do that for a week or two to get the kill, then spray-foam over any cracks in the wall near plumbing, and lay down some ant repellant spray near said cracks and entries, then spray down the thresholds and sides of any doors and windows. This may take awhile. Or hire a GOOD exterminator that will do weekly folowups until the problem is gone. This will be expensive. Do not use gel baits and repellants within a week of each other on the same property. If you're gonna use only one, spray repellant.

They're probably coming in through a seam in the entrance to the walk-in, which isn't inside the building itself. I'll get some gel bait to set outside and in the floor nooks on the sides of the little ramp at the walk-in door and see if that does the trick. On an unrelated note, is it weird I get a little jazzed when it's time to de-scale the dishwasher? It always looks so pretty inside when it's done.

No joke had a lady who said tomatoes were too "spicy." We had to check since people from this area also sometimes uses the word "spicy" to just mean something they don't like. No, she said tomatoes burned her mouth.

Well tomatoes are acidic but unless you're just letting them sit in your mouth there's no way it's gonna burn you. She probably had some marinara somewhere and got a red pepper flake caught in her teeth or some poo poo.
