I'm pretty sure your new job counts as "catching a break"

I'll admit that my view is biased as I've never had a pet cat but as a dog owner of 32 years, the only times I've met dogs that are aggresive and prone to biting are mistreated by assholes.

My little one is extremely protective and prone to trying to attack other people/dogs that move up on him quickly. We adopted him at a year old, had no idea what his background was other than that he seemed nice and timid at the shelter, and he turned out to be a giant rear end in a top hat and it took years to get him mostly behaved.

yeah if you chase down an rear end in a top hat cat and try to roughhouse it, you'll get bitten or scratched or something, but I've never seen a cat go out of its way to gently caress someone up the way a dog will.

I got to go home last night after a total of 12 GRAMS of Unasyn, which is one of those nifty ampicillin and sulphur based antibiotics, intravenously. Still infected, taking 1 GRAM of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium every 12 hours for the next 10 days, and a blood test after that to make sure I don't end up with MRSA.

If a cat or dog bites you and it's a deep puncture, GO TO THE loving ER.

some cats can react to being petted too long by mouthing/biting etc, it doesn't take violence on the part of the owner necessarily.

If I'm in a restaurant that allows dogs I don't have an issue with it, but I loving despise people who insist their dog is a helper dog when they very obviously have no disability. I get that there's not a good way tighten up the ADA that wouldn't hurt legitimately disabled people, but I hate the assholes who take advantage of its vagueness.

We allow dogs on the patio and service dogs in the dining room; the only degree it’s ever come close to really causing an issue is when people don’t keep the dogs out from underfoot, and when that happens I just politely remind the guests that our servers are carrying hot food and we’d hate to drop it on such an adorable pup.

Except I usually manage to sound less like a mafia insurance extortion racket, I guess.

This is starting to become a big issue in the area I work in, apparently you can just slap a vest with reflectors on a dog and it becomes a service dog. Not fuckin cool.

Law states that you can't even question if a dog is a service dog. Honestly, I give no shits about dogs in my restaurants, as long as they're well behaved. If the dog acts like poo poo, we'll kick you out, and you can argue all you want, but proper service dogs don't act like poo poo, so I know you won't even try to sue.


And nobody gives a gently caress about Yelp, it's all about TripAdvisor these days, get with the times people.

I do think it's funny that people pay money to get any sort of certification or special vest for their obviously fake service dog since it's all fake, and it's not like we'd throw them out if they didn't have the fake vest.

I've lurked this thread for a while and just wanted to chime in--


The law states if an actual real service dog acts lovely, you can throw it and the owner out as well. It doesn't protect bad behaviour.

I'm super not a fan of dogs in restaurants. Service animals, cool, they're doing a job and are well trained. Your random pup? No way. I love dogs, but if one gets into the kitchen, they are likely going to get hurt, because nothing BoH is remotely dog safe.

Put in my notice today and even though I've been thinking of changing careers and getting into IT or something for a while now I'm still eager to just jump into a different kitchen. A golf course kitchen is pretty chill and easy but good lord is it boring. I badly need a change of scenery and more of a challenge.

The sushi place I like near me is hiring. I'm debating hitting them up or saying gently caress it and taking time off until after new years to start looking.

Add me to the list of people stealing this and using it tomorrow. As the person whose job it is to run a flaming hot sheet pan of biscuits down to the other end of our cramped kitchen, I'm usually the one yelling "HOT BEHIND HOT BEHIND OOO YEAH [line guy I'm delivering to] HAS A HOT BEHIND"

On the subject of call-outs: one woman there does this thing when she's on the line getting tickets. A new tix will come in, and she precedes her call-out with something that sounds like "newbies". Like her patter is:
"NEW BEEZ GUYS! DROP SPECIAL, DROP BRISKET, DROP CATFISH, I NEED TWO CAKES ALL DAY"

What does the new beez thing mean? I get in context it means just that a new ticket's in, I guess? Just never heard it before, and I'm a little embarrassed to ask, for fear of looking like a newbie myself.

Instead of trying to spot fake disabled people maybe consider the idea that many disabilities, especially mental ones, are invisible to random people in the street but this doesn't somehow mean you don't need a dog trained to help you when you dissociate/have a seizure/flashback.

That aside dogs in restaurants are like small kids in restaurants, don't let them run around and get in the staff's way and I don't care.

It's a sticky wicket to be sure. There are bona fide service animals that help with things you described: seizures, PTSD, etc, where you might not spot the disability, but it's legit. Then there's assholes who milk the system and get a letter from a psych they paid to say their Paris Hilton purse dog is a service animal. These are the fuckers who ruin it for the folks you and I both recognize, and deserve to get the boot.

I haven't had any issues since I've been in the industry, but back when I worked for a public library, we had all kinds of service or "service" animals coming in. Iguanas, rabbits, birds... the official county policy was you could not ask for any ID or certification, just two questions.
"Is that a service animal?"
"What service does it perform?"
...and then you basically let them do whatever, unless another patron was freaking out about it. (Then it went above my paygrade, I'd just do a "not my circus" hand flap, call in a dept head, and be done with it)

Emotional support animals don't qualify as service dogs under the ADA. It's not something I look for because I know there's almost nothing I can do about it, it's just something that gets shoved in my face pretty frequently. I'm more calm if my cat is hanging around me, but I don't bring my loving cat into restaurants, because I'm not that big of an rear end in a top hat.
