My son's Spanish teacher says that one of the biggest issues for English learners is now how fast the language changes; all the kids you talk to are suddenly saying 'she ethered me' and the learner is going What? Why? You weren't saying that last month.

I'm starting to get sick of people touching my back instead of saying "behind". I have autism so sensory stuff is kinda rough. If I can see them coming the touch is tolerable, but generally it sucks. The dishpit is right in front of the pass, so most of the time it's servers going past without any announcement. Is it too much to expect FoH to remember that you're supposed to say "behind"? How should I tactfully bring this up to my coworkers? I don't really want to have to have a bunch of conversations about it. Should I just talk about it with my chef?

Is it too much to expect FoH to remember that you're supposed to say "behind"? Honestly it depends on your chef's personality. I've known some chefs who, even when told the very good reason why you would prefer people not touch you, would just say suck it up. I've known others who would, without singling you out in any way, let everyone know that saying behind is the only acceptable way to pass someone in the kitchen. If you think he'll fall into the second category talking to them is probably the way to go, especially if you hope to have as few conversations as possible. For what it's worth, I have the exact some problem with being touched instead of saying behind. It sucks and I also never really found a satisfactory solution.

worst is when you yell behind and the person three feet in front of you acts like they have earbuds in and make no effort to clear a path hip checking is violence but drat if i’m not tempted sometimes

Is it too much to expect FoH to remember that you're supposed to say "behind"? You're in dishpit? Spray 'em with the rinse hose if they do that. j/k Though you could actually parlay that into a discussion with them. Politely say, "hey I've got a bad startle reflex, I'd really appreciate it if you called 'behind' instead of touching me. I wouldn't want to accidentally soak you with the hose or get food scraps on your outfit/uniform/whatever as I'm flinging dishes around, haha!" I'd personally go to the chef/KM/FOH M and ask them to give the FOH a reminder, and then go with the one-on-one interaction described above for the ones that just don't seem to get it or listen to rules. I always say behind, but sometimes do the back-touch as well if poo poo's super loud, or the person I'm coming behind is in the middle of an important conversation (say, with KM or the owner) and might be tuning me out. Or, like in Sandwich's case, is very suddenly backing up and there was no time for them to react to me hustling down the line yelling "behind" because they needed something pulled out the fryer and plated, stat, during a rush on both our parts.

I work with a guy who never says behind but pushes you slightly, my response is always "Putka, say behind and I will move. If you push me again I will stab you with a serving spoon". He then remembers to say behind for a while.

This all reminds me of volunteering to work a concession stand with an older woman who *really* liked to touch my hips when she passed behind. Still don't know if she was creepy or just had no sense of personal space (because, seriously, who wants to touch a dude's hips?)

As FOH it's a complete failure on their part to not say behind. I'll touch some one when I'm carrying something hot that I need to set down before I drop it, or if they're backing up into me. You're in the dish pit, which means you're relatively stationary and everyone walking in should expect you to be there, it's absolutely fine to expect them to say they're walking behind you.

I was 100% part of the problem. And while I never touched anybody, saying "Behind" was a maybe at best. I just payed real close attention to what people are doing, and made my moves accordingly. Nobody ever complained because I never walked into anybody, or stayed around long enough for anybody to backstep into me. Most of my "Behind" was directed at new people because I can't know what they're about to do if they have no idea what they're doing themselves. I know it doesn't excuse it.

You should get in the habit of saying "behind" and "corner" to the point you embarrass yourself in public because you say "corner" while walking on the sidewalk (what, no I never did that, you did that, shut up).

Me at 7-11 every night when I got off. Someone else would always be at the beer cooler and I'd instinctively say "behind" and get weird looks. edit: "behind" at 7-11 wasn't so bad, it was when I'd be shopping at Home Depot or somesuch and some guy's standing in front of the item I want and I'd blurt out "coming beside you" and then reach down right next to his crotch with no shame to get the packet of eyebolts I wanted.

If you push me again I will stab you with a serving spoon". Pushes? That's outta line. I've only had a gentle touch between the shoulder blades, or maybe on my bicep if that's the most convenient place when we were in a rush and they didn't want me to spook out and drop something. If someone pushed me on the reg, yeah, hose for you.

I call out poo poo like “on your left “on your right” “behind” and “corner” at the grocery store and Costco all the time. They’re goddamn turn signals, people that look at you funny are the same assholes that don’t loving use them.

Had a bar manager joke about putting bells on me because he had no peripheral vision and I wasn't yet in the habit of calling out "on your left" and such, being used to working solo. After a few unintended I also tap shoulders based on the side I'm passing on, but I startle easy with unexpected touches too and hadn't connected that, so thanks for putting that out there. stringless fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Feb 19, 2020 |

I think due to my restaurants aforementioned ~~good vibes~~ we can be a touchy bunch but we ALWAYS verbalize, OVER VERBALIZE if anything, before touching people. Obviously, in an emergency or dangerous situation, you touch someone if you have to, but our attorney and sexual harassment training are very clear about unwanted touching. I am a hugger, but I always phrase it as "I'm a hugger, are you okay with hugging?" or touching or whatever and when I say that, I don't raise my arms and go in for one as I say it, I approach if from a very neutral physical stance and if someone declines I don't make it weird.

I walk past and say behind and if there isn't really enough room I flat hand on their back as I pass so they know where I am but it's not sexual in any way and if someone told me they were uncomfortable with touching it would be easy to omit

I've picked up the habit of announcing 'KNIFE' whenever I have one, be it making stew at my Mom's house or absolutely goddamn alone in my own kitchen. There's probably worse habits to have.

Go to an Outback Steakhouse and be very confused as to why people are announcing that they have an "order" while walking into and out of the kitchen until you realize what they're actually saying.
