I am not washing dishes for free, unless none of those dishes are from customers, and I personally watch you open up a can of beans and make a mess out of some plates just so you can see how I wash em. lmao get hosed i cannot, personally, envision a situation in which i'm willing to gamble on a cold call, but not willing to ante up $50 or whatever for a couple hours of their time while i suss out their work ethic the brazen shamelessness of some people still manages to surprise me sometimes

Republicans posted:One of our servers rushed through our kitchen to the back door facing the bathroom in a very urgent, panicked manner. About fifteen minutes later I go to the bathroom and find someone has explosively shat on the handicap stall floor. One of the other cooks went to check on him at some point and found him outside where he was coaxed back to work. nah

Skwirl posted:It's probably also cheaper to live there, l pay nine hundred for a studio in one of the more dangerous neighborhoods in Oakland, and that's way under market for the area. If I move out whoever moves in will probably pay between 1200 and 1500. most one bedrooms in town here are north of $1500 and minimum wage is still only $9 glad i got back out of the kitchen when i did  lol, doing the math someone literally couldn't even afford rent working traditional full time at that rate. much less anything else

Phanatic posted:You should definitely get over to this indoor mall called the Source and drink beer at Crooked Stave and eat at Acorn. Yeah, like, are you stuck downtown for some reason? The zoo isn't really that close to downtown so I'm a little puzzled. Acorn is great, but it's decidedly not downtown either. I'd give different recommendations if you're able to travel than if you're just walking up and down 16th st mall or whatever. Anyway as far as downtown goes, osteria marco is good italian, try the burrata & lonzo. Rioja was decent upscale pan-Mediterranean although it's been a while. The Kitchen is a fairly classic menu, but good food & pretty reliable. Freshcraft is a good place to grab a few beers and a good sandwich. Biker Jims if you want a an inventive and well-made sausage on a bun. Euclid hall for poutine and other food, decent drink selection in an historic building. Mercantile in union station is great. There's also a snooze and a kitchen next door in there for breakfast or lunch. Willing to walk a bit, head up to work & class or cart driver. Blue corn empanadas at work & class are great. Lamb and cabrito too. Get a pile of sides, some meat & some handmade tortillas, go to town. Hop alley is also decent. Bijus little curry shop is also up that way for solid fast casual Indian. Guard & grace if you want a good steak and have some cash to burn. Outside of downtown area, acorn is one of my consistent favorites. Avanti food hall is sorta nearby and has a bunch of options. Quiero arepas is where it's at though. Tacos, tequila & whisky (formerly pinche tacos), or la Calle if you want a more traditional taco joint. Las Tortas for well, tortas. I can keep going if there's something specific you're looking for, or if you can clarify your transportation situation.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Don't tell other people to take less money just because you have privilege. Seriously. There's a number of nicer restaurant groups here that are still trying to start cooks at $8 or $9 an hour or whatever which is frankly unlivable, behind the mask of 'reputation' and or 'family'. They put out good food, but loving fast food starts at like $11 or $12. If I were still cooking I'd have to work like 2.5 full time jobs at that just to make rent/mortgage in this city much less afford anything else. gently caress off with that poo poo, think back to where you started in this industry before your steady $60-$100k luxury hotel position with benefits. How vested in company culture were you then, how satisfied were you with your pay, and did the one impact the other? Did you have any significant expenses or dependents relying on you & your presumed embarrassment of a paycheck?

Since it seems germane to the topic at hand, I just finished Evicted by Matthew Desmond and I'm halfway through Nickled and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. Maybe go get some perspective on what happens to your coworkers and employees who happened into a bit of bad luck while making a 'living wage' and what the repercussions of that can be.

Liquid Communism posted:This is really true. If you have the work ethic to be a good cook, you'll blow people away in a desk job. Speaking for myself and probably many others, there’s a specific reason I chose to cook for poo poo pay rather than take an actual Desk Job. In all seriousness though, I’m halfway to a desk job now anyways. How did you all transition to computer janitoring, what’s the starting pay relative to like median income in your area and how quickly did you advance? I’m decently taken care of for the moment, but I don’t have many prospects for advancement.

Nah, I'm not much for party culture and I like committed relationships with like-minded people. I'd just rather keep moving a lot of the time and I enjoy having some physical aspect to my work. Thanks for the info. about computer janitoring but as much as I'd like to open up another career path, I'm not sure that's something I could swing any time soon. I'd have to start out at a minimum of $25/hr to continue supporting my mortgage etc. and I don't have any hard experience/certifications there, so...yeah.
