Skwirl posted:My issues with third party delivery is If we get too many of them it increases ticket times, leading to a worse experience for the guests who bothered to show up in person, and also interfering with the ability to flip tables, two things that can screw with my tips. So now I'm working harder for less money. this. also when the FOH thinks it's okay for a to-go to tell US what time they want their food, and it's at 7:30 on a weekend. i get that they want more money coming in but when you let someone calling in a to-go have the same priority as in-house guests who have a res during peak business you are loving up.

Just make sure you wash them and let em air dry. backing this before i had insoles i had to replace every few months that cost about the same i've had mine over a year and i have no reason to replace them yet, compared to wearing out anything else in 6 mos or less they are absolutely the most comfortable footwear i've ever worn namaste y'all

i was joking with a good friend a few days back and said "now watch, between now and my therapy appointment there's gna be smtg hosed up that happens that breaks me down again" when i got my first cooking gig and still sucked i read KC in like 3 nights and (despite being a completely basic cliche at this point to say aloud) it turned my frustration into inspiration tony wasn't a hero to me, he was an idol. knowing the pain he must have felt on the daily is devastating in that unique way that you either relate to or don't understand at all stay safe (or yr best approximation of it) industry goons

Tezcatlipoca posted:Vegetarians shouldn't be eating fried stadium food. yuh fryer related question: we maintain one gluten-free fryer and one where the gluten-having stuff goes. i've wondered if there's any point to that bc i doubt that gluten stays (uh) gluten-y for very long in 350F degree oil, but who knows! celiac association websites all back up the practice but i've never found anything that quantifies it for certain. i also know ppl with celiac and hard to work around food allergies so i want to accommodate everyone possible whenever possible, but that one's always stuck with me. nothing wrong with an overabundance of caution when it comes to allergies/conditions. guess i'm just running low on sleep and grousing. btw if you have a nut allergy just don't bother going to a vegan restaurant. we want to serve you but cross-contamination makes it like someone with ceilac going to a traditional bakery. e: also thosse fryer pics and their old-rear end oil lmbo

Olive! posted:I've looked further into it. As far as I can tell, everyone's being provided breaks and only choosing not to take them, which is perfectly legal? As long as they're not specifically being pressured by the employer to not take them. "legal" only rly matters if there are protections for workers who report the violations and, speaking as a cook in an at-will employment state, lol i can say with certainty that i have never taken a 30 mins break during a shift in 5 years of working in the industry

For context our veggie patties are half as thick as the beef patties, and you get two. i had this exact situation except that the person sent the burg back bc they didn’t believe it was a veg patty i cooked another one of the same patty without salt and pepper seasoning and they were happy

And will not be driving 3 hours back to work those shifts. I would be beyond peeved if I have to do that. extremely BOH to be thinking of that as a perhaps inevitable possibility source: i got called in on both of my days off this past week. i've decided that if anyone asks what i do on my days off i'll say that i vacuum seal my phone in a plastic bag, throw it in a lake and spend the day swimming and diving trying to find it
