Is D&D still super toxic? I’ll admit I like the idea but trying to explain all these issues to regular people is...daunting.

Speaking of shrimp. I had an ex girlfriend flip out over peel and eat shrimp. She couldn't understand the concept of peel and eat shrimp. It was a disaster. I apologized to the bartender and left a good tip. That's my shrimp story.

Windows and two tops. Get what you're saying but I can't put more windows in the dining room and if I trade in any more four tops for two tops the tables will be too close together for walkers to pass! Das ist verbotten!

In my place we had two main shifts, the ones who wanted to eat at 5 ON THE DOT, that we could hear muttering behind the door about how late we were, many of whom would be out before 5:30 so they could watch Dan Rather or whatever. Then the second shift that came in after the news, at 6. Late crew rolled in drunk around 7ish and would just get steamed until we called security to bring the scooter and roll em home. Repeat every night for 2 years of high school.

I've never been to a shindig with an open bar where "open bar" meant "just go behind the bar and help yourself to anything on the bottom two shelves". And, oh, hey, there's jell-o shots, too? Y'all too kind... Being at work at 4 am on Monday was sure fun, though

It's payday, we got cash holiday bonuses from the owner, and our KM gave us all individual stockings with a personal gift (I got a cool scarf) plus a plastic candy cane filled with airline bottles of vodka. And then, because we hauled rear end today, before she left the KM told us "there's 2 pitchers next door [our sister bar/grill store] for y'all". If you don't count getting actual PTO when I worked for a county library, this is the best holiday haul I have ever gotten from a job in my 27 years of being a working person. Sometimes, the industry, she does not suck. ...now, get back to me in a few weeks because, over those pitchers, I just found out our breakfast joint is going to start to do lunch as well. Though I was planning on being there some afternoons anyways; KM knows I make and sell hot sauce and fruit butters for farmer's markets (and goons), and the sister store wants to start canning their BBQ sauces for retail sale at our place while we're dark afternoons/evenings. So she tapped me to see if I'd want to do that, I'd set my own hours and have run of the kitchen to can my own poo poo as well. Yes, yes, I'd love to have a real commercial kitchen as opposed to my tiny apt range that my canner barely fits on, thank you very much Mezzanon posted:I'm hitting the wall here in day 3, and I only have 13 hours of work left for the day (only 8 of which are at the restaurant) hang in there, hon

Yeah I used to know a hotel bartender that was very excited that he got to work Christmas. I didn't understand until he explained that triple pay really meant something and anyone who did walk in was going to tip very generously. Edit: oh yeah, Merry Christmas y'all!

I made rumaki, but other than that phoned it in by buying poo poo liked smoked salmon and duck liver pate with a gift card my husband got from the co-op. Just grazed all day. And we're cat-sitting for upstairs neighbors, who nicely left a six of vanilla porter in their fridge for us. A Good Holiday. We roast our own coffee in house, and sell the beans as well as the brew. The bag prototypes for our two new blends came in today, and the hazelnut is Dee's Nuts. Quaint southern farm picture and font, no indication of the joke. I love it. I dunno how FOH is gonna suppress the giggles when our grey-haired Sunday post-church brunch crowd comes in saying "I love Dee's Nuts! Can I get a sack?"

Fun article crawled across the feed today, thought I should share...quote:MONTCEAU-LES-MINES, France — It is like giving up your Nobel, rejecting your Oscar, pushing back on your Pulitzer: Jérôme Brochot, a renowned and refined chef, decided to turn in his Michelin star. A bit more at the link, but I'm curious how long it's going to be until we start seeing more of the same in the US, as fine dining becomes too much of an extravagance to keep places afloat outside of wealth hotspots like NYC or the Bay.

Liquid Communism posted:Fun article crawled across the feed today, thought I should share... The two big sectors of growth in the USA are the super high end (michelin and james beard winning) in places that can support it, and the super low end (food trucks the employees of the super high end get their grub at). This tracks roughly with the growth of correlated economic quintiles as well with different sectors targeting different incomes. And super high end was never really viable in the American equivalents of southern Burgundy, so as far as France is concerned this is just the invisible hand smearing global wealth in an ever-finer dissasisfyingly equitably-inequitable layer. It's that Applebees/TGI Fridays middle ground that's getting owned by lack of disposable income right now. Willie Tomg fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Dec 28, 2017 |
