It's kind of adjacent but I did a book signing with Emeril Lagasse. He was really nice. He made a point of learning all of the staff's names. Brought us crawfish etouffee from a demo he had been doing at some local restaurant. Talked with everyone in line but also kept the line moving. Afterwards he stayed for an hour signing every copy of one his cookbooks.

Reminds me of the time I watched a friend spread mayonnaise all over raw chicken breasts, casually taking the spoon from the raw chicken to the open mayo jar over and over. She claims to hate mayonnaise. And is still alive.

There's nothing quite like accidentally ordering the chicken sashimi, biting into it, and realizing it's raw.

This was at a small beer hall in Nagoya, the cook would lightly wave the skewer over a bed of coals and serve it. Our translator said the smaller chicken farms used in Japan were less prone to disease than the mega farms in the USA. They had a neat flip book of all the menu items which was helpful. There was one that came with a raw egg for dipping.

Yeah, I live in Osaka. I guess there's something about most of the microorganisms that cause food poisoning with chicken are on the surface, so as long as the surface is grilled, you're okay. Or at least that's what I was told. Could be BS. Still not a big fan personally.

Is there precedent for insurance companies to revoke or reduce payouts to businesses who engage in crowdfunding? A spot near me recently had a big fire. They're reaching out on GoFundMe. I've heard from friends that the crowdfunding campaign is supposed to go to pay for lost wages for workers who used up their EI during the 'lockdowns', but I have a hard time believing it. Either way, I'm wondering what the place's insurance company would say if they found out about the crowdfunding.

I don't think an insurance company is in any way caring about the charitable donations the business receives. They're obligated to pay out a certain amount up to the limitations of the agreement and the language doesn't include any accounting for such things.

There's no difference between gofundme or someone's grandma giving them funds.

A place I used to work randomly had a delivery app (I think it was DoorDash) start offering our menu. We got a few orders before figuring it out and I think the KM called and told them to pound sand. mandatory lesbian posted:Wow, looks like about 100 people arent getting food and will be directed to complain to grubhub if they call

I seem to recall at least one restaurant was continuously getting listed on GrubHub or Seamless, who were using an outdated menu with many things that were no longer offered, and subsequently getting review-bombed on google and yelp because their orders weren't getting fulfilled.

At the place I work we had someone order something through doordash that was no longer on the menu and hasn't been for a long time. Also the app advertises that we have "buttermilk ranch" as a side and not "house dressing", so people get mad when I give them the only ranch like sauce we have, the house dressing. Also doordash loving sucks as graveyard cause its only me and 1 cook all night and I swear these people wait until I have multiple cars in the drive thru before all ordering at once, so I'm trying to take an order/do a transaction and RING RING, RING RING, RING RING, RING RING, RING RING, RING RING, RING RING. Oh and I got this one jackass who makes multiple orders in a week and at the start would demand extra *insert every sauce here* on the fries, but has now passive aggressively put that request on every item on the order. Go buy a bottle at the store ya chump!

Postmates would just list restaurants and then have people call for takeout that a driver would pick up without talking to the restaurant, including restaurants I worked at that didn't do take out. So we'd get calls ordering take out and tell them we don't do that, and then whoever ordered it on post mates would call us being angry about their order being cancelled, and I would have to deal with this poo poo while I have four tables that are going to actually tip me and they get a worse dining experience because I'm on the phone dealing with this bullshit instead of making sure they have all the drinks they want or the food is what they wanted, or the food is excellent but they want desert.

Lost a dishwasher who had a rad blowup Poor guy was caught one night listening to Skyrim music full blast solo closing (I know, its hosed, dishwasher last to leave, not my rules) by the sous chef and got the nickname dragonslayer, then dovakiin, both which he hated. The prep cooks called him dova. I could tell a million stories related to the nickname. Felon line cooks who never played a video game in their lives learned fictional a dragon language to shout at him. The joke was completely run into the ground though, and after a while only a few people used it. His firing is the best thing about the guy. This is a department store cafe and its 8:1 women to men company wide. A good percentage of the men working are openly gay / non binary, or security, shoe salesmen, or cooks. Big HR presence, lots of diversity training. Doesn't matter if you came from Fare Start, you're learning about deadnaming and how its a fireable offense. Well Dova was having a bad day, and an employee who recently transitioned from "Sally" to "Brad" (in fictional but easily understood narrative terms) noticed. Brad was front of house and was good now that his biggest urges were tempered. A huge believer in personal energy, Brad used to give unsolicited horoscopes to guests dining at the cafe, targeting VIPs. It was ultimately explained to Brad that astrology was not a service we offered to our guests, and would lead to termination. The dish pit gets a huge dump of dishes unsorted and the two man crew is getting overwhelmed with saute pans primarily, and Dova is scouring metal and cussing like a rotten peach, clanging and making noise, and giving bad looks (this is from a HR writeup of a witness). Brad unloads a tray and decides this is the time to practice his gift, which he understands to be forbidden only to offering our guests "Dova, your aura is off today" he says, and intends say more, when he is interrupted Dova goes nuts "My name isn't Dovakiin or Dova. You're about identity, right? I don't identify as Dova. Don't loving call me that." So far, so good. "You got that, Sally?" he adds And our felonious dragon slaying dishwasher now has to tell his parole officer why he was fired for deadnaming.

If that was literally the only time they deadnamed their coworker and there aren't other behavioral issues, firing seems a little harsh. I'm not saying they were right to do it, they shouldn't have said it and obviously deadnaming is different than using an annoying nickname, but (again assuming there aren't other factors) a single instance shouldn't result in termination. Edit: And honestly, unsolicited aura readings of your coworkers should be a fireable offense. I don't think I would deadname a coworker about it, but there would be a loving litany of expletives bursting from my mouth if someone saw I was having a bad day and said "[Nickname I've made clear I loving hate], your aura seems off" or if they even used my actual name.

Seattle HR policies  Also saw a FOH gal get chastised for "being too presumptuous with gender" when referring to a guest (in six inch heels heels and holding a three thousand dollar saint laurent bag) as a "woman who wanted to speak with a manager" They held a FOH meeting about it that we thank god didn't have to waste prep time listening to I'm staging right now and will be moving on again very soon
