Yeah cutco always struck me as infomercial type knives. They might be good, but c'mon that name. I'm not taking my knives to work though. I care for my knives and don't want them to be exposed to this bullshit.

If you ever let one out of your sight it will disappear and oops it went through the dish machine. Wow the wood on the handle looks really weird and hosed up I hope this didn't have any sentimental or monetary value to you. Also we sharpened it for you on the dollar store knife sharpener I bet it cuts real nice now

CutCo is 100% a pyramid scheme, but the knives actually are pretty loving good. They use a specific serration pattern that allows them to sharpened easily and cut better, and their customer service is very good. Buying a knife from them means you can send it in for sharpening or wear replacement for life.

Slowly, but surely, I'm taking off the excess every time I sharpen them. I rarely use the serrated one, but it's still sharp 10 years later.

Oh a 100%, I'm only commenting on the knives themselves as objects. I got roped into their scheme in my late teens, I know firsthand what they're about.

Good knives, bad company; I got my set when my roommate told his heroin dealer he could crash for a few days and somehow all his poo poo lived in our garage for 8 months after he left town and I picked it over before it went to the dump

now that i'm an office manager i still have responsibilities in the kitchen, like setting up the 3 new epson ticket printers for a switch to a new pos system Nov 1. Not only are these barely compatible with our ~10 year old bespoke pos, when putting in a support ticket with our vendor, it turns out that them what made the decision to switch companies didn't actually tell our current vendor that we were dropping them in a month. whoops

Sorry man that's real lovely of them." I've had to say some variation of that to so many vendors over the years.

I'm learning so much. We're a private club and we have a no tipping policy, but have instituted a flat 20% charge on dining checks to essentially tip pool both front and back. Now i'm hunting down the maitre d and the event manager for all the tickets that have "non member charge" instead of "F&B 20% service charge" after finding out the staff didn't get their new payout. Dont ask how changing 2 weeks worth of chits is going (it bad)

I was lucky, I know somebody who already did the whole song and dance, so when I showed up to a vague "Help Wanted!" ad, as soon as I saw Vector I turned around and left. Didn't even stay for whatever bullshit sales pitch they have.

Several of our student employees quit after their first week. They correctly sized up the situation and said, "gently caress this." We're well into fall quarter and still don't have anybody on the dish machine. Paper plates for absolutely everything. I'm doing two or three guys jobs. I can't quite tell if the boss is planning his exit. New manager hasn't even bothered to introduce himself, but this is the kind of place where a lot of people have been around for 20 years and know everybody, so whatever. Time to press pizzas.

But replacement parts are going to get harder to come by. People don't realize this poo poo isn't over, we're headed off a cliff. I'm on my lunch break, this seagull thinks he's got a chance. No way, pal. And a bee thought about stinging me but was apparently discouraged.

That sounds brutal, especially the really crusty stuff from the kitchen rather than plates from a table. Saute pans and sheets with carbonized soot that was once cheese or gravy are a bitch to scrape clean by hand. Especially when a strand of steel wool gets stuck under your fingernail and agh ugh oooauugh this is against the geneva convention the brillo done a war crime on my hand, take him to the hague

Back when I was a dishwasher it was always the steel wool to start... then the forks smelled blood and my tender little water logged nail beds were like magnets to them.

I have some health issues to take care of and this gig offers a decent insurance plan that I can access in a few days. My immediate plan is to take care of that poo poo, assess the winter situation, and not work too hard until I can decide on a course of action. My partner will be finished with her PhD here in a year or two. Then we'll see where the academic jobs are, if society hasn't collapsed.

I had one job where I quit without notice and never answered a call or responded to a text from my former boss but he was shooting me texts like "hey we need a barback saturday" or "looking for extra kitchen staff for new years" almost 3 years after I quit. It made me wonder how many people he has on a list for that. Just chum the waters and see if anyone will come crawling back for one day.
