Bayham Badger posted:the russians used a pencil this comment needs more love. Funny story. So one day I walk in to my FOH job at the German bistro I work at and notice that the 6 pan that usually holds flat leaf parsley for schnitzel garnish contains cilantro instead. We do not use cilantro for anything. I tell the expo, "hey, that's not parsley, it's cilantro." He replies, "it's parsley." Okay... So I mention it to another server, who looks up parsley on her phone and helpfully shows me a picture: "see, it's parsley!" No, it's not. So I tell the chef/GM, who should know the loving difference. HE tells me, "oh no, that's just flat leaf parsley!" and then tastes some. "See, it's parsley!" Ten seconds later he's like "no, wait... you're right, I'm sorry, this is cilantro." We still used it. The purveyor had mislabeled it as parsley. "Go to culinary school, "they said. "You'll be respected as a chef" they said...

We went from awesome (but prolly expensive) stickers that washed off easily to a janky sticker printer that leaves a gnarly residue if you don't remove the sticker before washing (which half the time dishers don't do lol)

oh no, not residue on the outside of the containers Using a sticker printer would be the "chaotic evil" square of the alignment chart for labeling vs the various masking tape/writing directly on the container methods as far as wasting time goes lmao stringless fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Jul 4, 2022 |

Why has no one mentioned the puns or toxic sex jokes or funny names that you are supposed to write on labels? Like "pork lion" with a doodle of a pig with a mane or "garlick my balls" or "simple sizzurp". Buncha try hard fancy pants ~fine dining~ assholes here.

What projecting? If you find it inconceivable that "nut" and "butt" exclusively paired could be construed as a sexual joke, hats off to you and the toxic-free kitchens you run

The only way to use masking tape labels wrong is by not folding in one of the corners for easy removal before it hits the pit.

One of the restaurants I washed dishes in had two crying stations. One where you could cry alone, and one where you could cry with/be comforted by others. We'd frequently find servers who held no promise of rising beyond that status in the public spot by themselves for dumb infractions, anticipating a soothing voice from people too busy to care, so you'd only see close friends congregating there. The dedicated solo weeping pit behind the ice machine was rarely occupied and only by sommeliers or managers after a gently caress up imagined to be worse than it usually was. The visits were mostly short because it was next to a wine glass polishing station, just one person polishing glasses for a full shift, typically the least competent FOH person around, and so you'd cry sort of around the corner from an untalented coworker for however long that took. My prop bet buddy Teal was talking with one of our talented servers for a good length of time at the dish pit entry. Teal was a good listener and he loved to give advice on everything. He got along with everybody. With the roar of the ecolab next to me, I didn't clearly hear anything they were saying most of the two minute conversation, but I fully witnessed the end of it. "gently caress you Teal, don't tell me how to shape my loving face. Ever. Or any other woman." She leaves, the dishwasher is now silent, and Teal is looking at me slack jawed. I asked him, "what did you say?" "Nothing, I didn't say anything, I said she should smile more." "Teal, that's like telling a woman she should wear more makeup," I said And, unconvinced that he made a mistake, Teal began asking everyone who dropped a dirty dish or brought us food what was so wrong with telling a woman to smile more. Literally. Every. Person. I'd shut off the machine to hear these exchanges because people were becoming horrified. They loved him, and couldn't imagine he was talking about something at work. "No, teal, you did not say that here. You told your girlfriend? Who?" "Women should smile more? Anything else? How are my shoes, my hair?" And because he was quizzing everyone, it didn't take long for those people to figure out a reliable server was utilizing the cramped single crying station after receiving beauty tips from a dishwasher. Teal extended his inquiries ("is it bad if you tell a girl to smile more") to all the contacts on his phone, and the mixed results from fellow paroles kept him guessing. All the women in his life who replied gave nothing but good Baptist style truth to keep his loving mouth shut. It was around here that he started catching real poo poo from the FOH staff, dozens of whom would encircle this woman if she didn't want to be alone. I had to know if Teal asked his mom the same question, and he said yes, but she hadn't replied. This was a golden opportunity for me. "Twenty says she calls you nuts." "Deal," my degenerate gambler pal says. "I know what my mama's gonna say." Months earlier, Teal confided to me he was born to a freebase cocaine addict mother had little involvement in his life until his teenage years. "They separated us at birth," he explained to me once, "crack addicted baby, crack addicted mama. But we were a team back then smoking that crack, we're a team on everything." And, by God, Teal's mother replied "Oh I always said you should smile more. I think its good advice for anyone. Especially those that don't." So that's the dumbest 20 I've lost in a kitchen parthenocarpy fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jul 11, 2022 |

I feel like "smile more" is something almost every female server (and a good chunk of male ones) has heard from management. It doesn't make it less hosed up, but they expect you to show up to a table with the energy that literally the only thing you could possibly ever want to do is make sure this individual customer has the best dining experience of their life. Edit: when my dad was working in phone tech support decades ago, management gave everyone a fridge magnet with a mirror on it and roughly the phrase "Remember, the customer can hear your smile."

It’s…it’s also the mask off “your value here (literally your wages) is directly tied to how your appearance makes me/us/them feel” that robs a person of their agency and makes the service/servitude continuum collapse. While not restricted to women, it’s uh, pretty pervasive.

I feel like there's a difference between the general advice of smile more being given to everyone on the team, and being told individually that you, yes you, need to smile more
