It doesn't actually matter what you say as long as you say something but this new guy at work says "swinging" instead of "behind" or "corner" and it's slowly driving me insane

I'd argue it does matter what you say. I'm listening for 'Corner', 'Behind', 'Hot' and 'Sharp'. Though after a few days it probably wouldn't matter anymore. Edit: I forgot hot. The General fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Feb 19, 2020 |

Might be a regional thing I dunno

The way everyone around here uses it is that "swinging" means you're carrying something that's taking up some space, so the person must account for that plus your body passing behind/around them. "Reaching" is when your body isn't moving but your hand and potentially something else will be.

At a hotel I worked with a kitchen so spacious during normal non-banquet service the cooks would frequently go entire shifts without actually being near each other. Lead to some of them getting lazy about call outs, until the chef noticed and promised to see about getting free-post-shift beers if he heard them getting back in the habit of proper call outs. They got into the habit of yelling loud monologues about how anyone who got in the way of them and their hot/sharp/heavy/melt your skin off boiling sugar would die really quick.

Always fun having a guy in your kitchen who used to work in a place like that. Coming down the line with hot fryer oil yelling "I WILL BURN YOU AND I WILL LAUGH".

I'm big and tall so people were always asking me to move vats of boiling pasta and soup for them. I'd always yell "hot and heavy!". I'm writing a research paper on the future of age discrimination in the food service industry. Any thoughts?

Weird news everyone. I got hired in radio again so I’m slightly reducing my restaurant hours until I get offered that sweet sweet salary again at the station (hopefully).

I worked my first close last night and had a bit of a breakdown around 1. I was not prepared to be on line by myself. No disasters as far as putting food out, but I was real down on myself for not getting to all the cleaning and just had to throw in the towel at 2:45. Cried the whole way home and for a while after. I get why most cooks are alcoholics/addicts now. Four days sober though!

Clean as you go as much as possible and don't be a slob flinging poo poo everywhere. It'll not only be easier to clean up st night it makes you look more professional. Time to lean time to clean!

Good on you for being sober! Do you have to run a full line by yourself at that hour, or does your pub go to "bar food, limited fried snacks after 11pm [or whatever]"? I've been the last (wo)man standing on some shifts and if the people on salad/grill/pasta didn't have their poo poo correct before they left when their stuff was off the menu, hooo-boy you best believe chef would be hearing about it the next day. I'd give those stations a cursory wipe-down, but gently caress if I'm staying until 2:45 to detail their mess. edit: the worst was at one place when cooks would high-tail it out as soon as possible, leaving grunt-me to wrap all their stuff, clean the cutting boards, wipe down their low-boys, etc. on top of taking out garbage, mopping the floors, pick crap out of the floor drain, do dishes, and everything else closing entails. Then I'd finally get out at 1:30 am, and I'd see them sitting at the bar of our own store. Those guys can gently caress my sand-filled vagina.

I eat salads for breakfast, so I would totally order a salad late night and if it's too hard for your staff, dont put it on a late night menu.

I was gonna say that might be a violation of the ADA but you spelled check with a q so I think you might be in Canada, if they have a thing like the ADA maybe talk to a local disability lawyer.

Nothing federally as strong as the ADA. I'll start looking into BC's laws, but it's all pretty toothless.

To add a litte levity to the thread I though everyone might enjoy the meltdown someone had in the gbs reddit thread deciding to argue over what is and is not appropriate to do when serving alcohol to over intoxicated people.

Lol, I was there when that poo poo went down. I didn't pipe up, but (please excuse my terrible 90's joke) BABBY's got my back. So let's start another internet fight,* instead! Thanks to a friend hooking me up, I just met with the owner and the chef of a reaaaalllly swank place in town. Like, charging $12 for a cold beet salad swank. I hit it off nicely with both owner and chef, and chef asked me if I could come in tomorrow night. Essentially: come see how service runs, help out on dish/prep, maybe show 'em what I've got. in the knife skills department. So, like, a casual one night stage, I guess. I am NOT looking to start yet another slapfight about paid vs unpaid stages, I'm looking at this as a one-night working interview, to see if this kitchen and I are a good fit. What didn't get discussed today was what my pay would be should I get hired. Do I go high --- which $15/hr would be, in my area, even though that's now min wage in some cities --- or shoot for something like $10-12, which is what starting cooks generally/realistically get around here? I NEVER know how to to answer that when asked. I don't wanna ask $15 and get laughed out of the place, but I don't wanna undersell my worth and mumble "oh, um, $10, maybe?" while fidgeting with my hands, which is what I'm likely to do. Gimme strength, thread. I need the work, so I'll take it at $10/hr; but if I can go higher, obviously, I'd like that. And with their menu pricing, I think they can afford it. I just have no clue how to negotiate this without shooting myself in the foot while introducing myself, so to speak. *(please do not start another stupid internet fight, I'm stressed out as it is and Liquid Communism ain't got time for that poo poo)
