It was a bit rude to come in and get drinks, but saying you can't cover a shift on a day you weren't scheduled because you had plans to hang out with friends already is a perfectly valid reason to not cover a shift.

Yeah, “I don’t want to work my second job on a day I wasn’t scheduled to work” is actually a perfectly fine reason. Coming into the establishment to drink is thoughtless, but saying no to another shift is always ok.

If there have already been problems with the employees in question wrt to their attendance and work performance, pulling a stunt like that is absolutely enough to start talking about whether or not they get to keep working there imo

From my experience in other industries, nice bosses are also very averse to confrontation. They give far more work to and rely on the employees who don't object.

This has reminded me a coworker I had who got super seriously pissed off that the service he got after his shift was subpar. Yelling at a manager mad. If you want good service during busy times, go somewhere else. None of your co-workers want to deal with your poo poo. You know how busy it gets, and priority isn't on you. IMHO you'll be lucky if you don't have to go get your food yourself once it's made.

The last thing I ever wanted to do when working in food service was eat the same food I came home smelling like every day. gently caress the discount. What was cool though is the place next door gave discounts to us too (noncompeting restaurant - their customers usually came over to us for dessert after). I wish I'd worked there instead of where I worked.

When I worked at a steak house for years, I never not wanted to eat the steaks from that place. The fried appetizers became a hard pass though.

I very often had post shift drinks or food at the restaurant I spent the last two years being the chef at (or our sister restaurant) or would go in with partners/friends on days off, because that place is loving awesome. I don't make it in as often as I should anymore because I'm not downtown as often, but every time I am, I make sure to stop by. Because that place is awesome. What I'm saying is, if your place is awesome you do want to be there off the clock sometimes.

I think it's more common among FoH to go to your own restaurant because you usually don't spend as much time working there and you're probably friends with whoever is serving you. I will reiterate it's a dick move to go to your restaurant when you know they're shorthanded and you said you couldn't cover a shift, but I also don't think it's a fireable offense. Assuming they're showing up for the shifts they're actually scheduled for and competent when they're working you're just shooting yourself in the foot at a place that already has scheduling issues.

It had water, current theory is a knob got bumped while the range was getting wiped down. It smelled terrible all day. On the plus side the cast iron on that burner is so loving clean now! E: That’s the current official theory, I know who closed and almost certainly threw it on and forgot to check it after his shifties butttttttt we’re gonna let t slide I guess?

Raikiri posted:Huh, cleanse with fire is not a deep cleaning method I had considered. Best way to clean grills and cast iron burners. 2-3 layers of tinfoil over your grill, turn that fucker on high for about 20 minutes. Everything will smoke, everything will burn. Turn it off, let it cool a bit, hit it with the grill brush, have a perfectly clean grill. Note: Do not do this if you haven't been keeping up with regular cleaning on your grill, because if there is a pool of grease underneath it, it'll 100% light on fire and melt all of your wiring.

But I'll do that tomorrow, as we don't have a KP until the PM, sounds way less hassle.

Skwirl posted:I've had jobs where I've realized I've been covering at least one shift every week for a couple months in a row and it both fucks up your ability to plan anything and makes you reluctant to even make plans (because I might get called in) and as a mental health thing I've said to myself "look, no matter what, I'm not covering any extra shifts this month." Given the OP working 10 days in a row so the owner can get a single weekend off when they're normally there every day of the week it sounds like scheduling is a complete poo poo show, so possibly some of the other employees were feeling that too. Yeah, nothing wrong with protecting your day off, but at least have the decency to not rub it in on the guy working his rear end off by coming by for drinks.
