Let's not kid ourselves, two full drinks per half hour is still on pace to getting real hosed up, and it isn't an unreasonable limit. I live (and work in a bar) in a state where the bartender is not liable at all for over serving, and AFAIK there are no limits on how much a person should be served, and it leads to some pretty stark examples of how fast even a seasoned alcoholic can get drunk.

He seemed to hold it together most of the time, but occasionally would be leaving just hosed. I didn't think much of it at the time as I was a 19yo idiot (but I repeat myself), but I definitely would have been nailed for over-serving if he'd ever gotten hurt going home.

So in those mini bottle states, a Long Island Iced Tea would just be five tiny bottles, a lemon wedge, and someone sneezing Cola in your face? That sounds adorable.

I missioned one of those exactly on the turn of a golf course in Midland/Odessa, while driving the cart for my family, the chick making it growing visibly alarmed as she ran out of space in the cup for Coke. I golfed in spirit that day, if not in fact.

The accounting position was filled for a week. Just found out. I don't mind the "no". I've been hearing "no" my entire loving life, I don't seriously expect anything to get better ever. What hurts is that a boy with soft hands looked me in the eye and claimed with a straight face that "it was really busy and we forgot" when by any standard those of us in the stained and tattered uniforms were far, far busier and yet I still found the few minutes every other day to follow up on the position. Aw, no, but you see it was the bosses going away party and then we had an outing. Can't tell a guy if his life is finally going to be worth living, we're too busy going fun places and getting drunk on company time. People say "death to america" a lot these days but when it really comes from the loving heart...

Hey Willie if you move to California I can pay you a mediocre hourly wage to work in a tiny kitchen and we can smoke mad blunts after work Also update on my job: I'm now co-executive chef of a fast casual breakfast and lunch grab n go juice bar paleo probiotic vegan sustainable ethical... thing. In a town where there are 5 other failing outlets with similar concepts that are always empty. Also my food budget is 28 but labor is 40 and we don't have a farm

The problem is parents who let them run around like they're in the playground at a suburban McDonald's, and the fact that parents of toddlers are lovely loving tippers. I never had a serious problem with kids, just their parents.

Yeah, this kid was throwing everything that came into his hand and his brother would have made a mess with the creamer and sugar if we didn't take it away. The parents did tip 20%, but the kids were loud and annoying

I've lived a blessed life and avoided all but the most minor cuts/burns. Worst I can say is the arches on my feet flatten when I put weight on them so if I walk on linoleum and my feet are sweaty they'll make suction cup fart noises.

Go: my first restaurant job the head chef was super proud he had maneuvered his way into The Most Expensive Mandoline Ever - I don't 'know what it was, but it was a big deal because it was sharp as poo poo and all stainless steel. I had a couple jobs, all involving that loving mandoline. I think one was peeling and slicing raw yucca for our yucca potato chips, and the other was doing a matchstick of daikon for a salad. anyways, that loving mandoline was something stupid. I literally shredded my fingers on it more times than I care to remember. I finally one day refused to do that poo poo any more, I was making like $0.00/hr, and pretty much said gently caress this. the sous gave me a rag to use as a fingerguard and showed me how to not cut the poo poo out of myself, which I appreciate today since I don't cut the gently caress out of myself anymore on mandolines, but due to a compounding shitstorm of other reasons I still quit citing the stupid mandoline and I'm pretty sure that experience has shaped my life in one way or another. mindphlux fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Jun 3, 2017 |

caleb posted:I escaped today with a slight mandolin "gently caress you" on my thumb for the first time ever and I would like to hear horror stories now. Go: At home maybe four or five months ago, prepping dinner, I was shredding a quarter-head of cabbage on my mandoline. I wasn't using the guard because it was having a hard time actually getting stuck into the cabbage, so I'm just absent-mindedly running it back and forth. All of a sudden I feel a sharp pain, I look down and I see that I've sliced a 3cm piece of skin clean off my thumb. Now, this is the part where I point out that I'm on a weapons-grade blood thinner (enoxaparin) due to a blood clotting disorder. So almost immediately, there's blood loving everywhere -- all over the mandoline, all over the shredded cabbage, it's pouring out onto the counter and onto the floor. I grab a latex glove to put on while I go look for some superglue and almost immediately the blood overflows out of the thumb part of the glove and starts filling up the rest and within about twenty seconds the blood is flowing out of the glove and all over my arm. And now there's blood all over the rest of the kitchen and in the drawers and on the stove and in the pantry because I'm frantically scurrying around and I can't find the loving superglue. Eventually I shout for my wife, who's working on a painting down in the basement. She comes running upstairs and I can only imagine her first impression of the kitchen was:  To her credit, she thinks quickly, screams at me to hold my arm up high above my head, starts dialing our doctor's 24-hour nurse line with one hand and grabs the new-skin liquid bandage from the bathroom with the other. They didn't wind up sending me to the ER, but I was a little lightheaded for a few hours after that. I think we wound up just getting McDonald's for dinner. And, hoo boy, I spent the entire evening scrubbing all that blood out of the kitchen. Jesus.

A prep cook at a previous job told me once that rubbing coffee grounds in those sorts of cuts (not on blood thinners) makes them clot. Confirm/deny? I did not know it was mandoline with an e. I am an amateur.
