The only music I really don’t like is prison rap talking about doing violent felonies in explicit detail. I don’t need that in my head while I’m working, or, well, ever.

I liked some gangsta rap when i was in the kitchen, felt like one of the only times I could feel good about enjoying it. Conversely, I was once sitting in the park in the middle of the day and heard a guy ride by on a bicycle with a really loud stereo on it, blaring Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique.

Let me guess, 40% ten tops of people going out on the town wearing matching (ish) green t-shirts that say "slainte, y'all" or something.

It's a shame you can't just set up a trough of potatoes with cabbage and a second with Guinness and call it a traditional prix fixe menu.

i left before their table closed out (i was the second shift bartender), and i know one of them tipped well but i am not sure about said manager. she can be a wild card when she gets drunk (another reason i immediately dipped at 12:30 once i finished stock), but i will find out when i get my tips today. also she was supposed to be on today from 2-10, lol

I seriously hate when three dozen people drop with no warning. Like, can none of you grab the cellular device in your pocket and give a heads up? The worst was when I worked off a major interstate and we’d get entire sports teams dropped on us with zero warning in off hours. The best was when Steph Curry brought his entire rehearsal dinner to my place for lunch, that was loving cool (and it just so happened to be on a day that literally the best people in the store were all working at the same time, so it was smooth as gently caress)

The other fun one is when all your regular catering customers call you last minute on the same day and you start having to say no because there’s literally not enough people to make and deliver it all and there’s no way you’re gonna pull them out of thin air four hours ago.

Passed the ServSafe manager test with a 92... and you only need a 70 to pass. Yes, there were a few Gotcha questions, and some odd wording, or else I would have gotten a 100%. But here is the thing, most people could get a 70 just from the easy ones.

Does anyone else get nostalgic from the smell of thermal paper printing? The sound of those printers rightly drives me out of my mind, but the weirdly sweet pencil smell brings me back.

I finally got some complete bullshit 86'd from the menu forever and boss man wants me to develop a replacement. Spicy Thai chicken (or veg) pizza with a coconut curry sauce instead of marinara? Sound good?

Presumably you’d be using coconut milk, and it does not like 500 degrees in my experience.

I've had that with a peanut sauce and it kicked rear end. You might need to play around with a couple different sauces, maybe thickened and thus emulsified with short grain rice?

A lot of places around where I am also do gyros as well as pizza, but not a one of them has a gyro pizza. Tzatziki instead of marinara, kinda like a white pizza, with tomatoes, gyro meat and feta baked off, and topped with shredded lettuce after it comes out. Iunno, I think it sounds good. Though I do like your spicy Thai pizza too, and might try that myself.

There was a Greek place near my last apartment that did a gyro pizza that was pretty drat good. Greek style tomato sauce, gyro + onion + feta on the pizza, tzatziki on the side for dipping. Never saw them serve it with lettuce on it, that might be a hard sell in the US - but I can see it working.

Swedish curry pizza with kebab and banana as a topping was one of my fondest memories of studying abroad in Sweden. A very simple curry sauce instead of red. Of course, they (at least in 1999) called curry, kebab and banana the 'Afrikana' pizza, which is a little confused...

Place by me used to offer gyro sausage as a topping, I'd always get that, onion, and roast garlic. Amazing! I wish I'd had a dipper of tzatiki though
