How do you folks feel about the film Boiling Point? I'm a UK bartender and honestly, it's one of the most accurate depictions of working in hospitality that I've ever seen.

BiggerBoat posted:Speaking of that, it's kind of weird that there aren't more movies and sitcoms that are primarily set in a restaurant and center around that crazy world of cooks, servers, dishwashers.managers and hosed up customers. Not counting "reality" shows. When I was 16 and 17 I worked in a Denny's doing just about everything on every shift at some point or another and holy poo poo would the things I witnessed there make for a great show/movie.

Woman on the phone: "Hello, can you tell me what fish dishes you have on your menu for Sunday?" Me: "Well, to name two, we have a nice mackerel nicoise salad starter, and our battered haddock and chips is always popular" Woman: "Oh, haddock? Is that fish?" Me: "..." Me: "Yes, haddock is fish" I'm so done with this week.

"No, we're closed for refurbishment this week, as indicated by the sign outside saying "we open in three days", the hazard tape over the front door, the builders cutting wood on the bar, the amount of sawdust and paint all over everything, the fact that you've just had to walk past paint cans and power tools to ask me if we're open yet, etc, etc"

Animal-Mother posted:Almost got hosed up by a damaged machine that shouldn't have been approved for use. Later I learned one of my coworkers had informed management days ago about this potential serious problem but they ignored him because he's "one of the complainers." Real dumb stuff. Glad I didn't lose a limb. Luckily my manager was actually competent and had the scanner removed immediately (and safely)

Mister Speaker posted:One of the service industry habits I've carried into my new job (alongside saying 'behind' and asking coworkers if it's cool to go to lunch like a chump) is drinking sugar-free Monsters. I'm up to two a day now. I wish I liked the taste of coffee.
