Had the most infuriatingly-paced day yesterday. Slammed from 8-12 then juuuuuuust busy enough to keep you on the line constantly with no time to do dishes or prep. Every time I finish a ticket and I take two steps toward the pit another comes in and I suppress the urge to yell fuckwords.

Oh Christ. Someone said they spotted cockroaches in the golf course garage, which is the bottom half of the building the restaurant is in. I hope the boric acid I keep down for the ants also keeps them the gently caress out but I just know they're gonna come up through the water pipes or something horrible.

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. Would intentionally making diarrhea noises with a squeeze bottle when he's present be too mean?

Found a yo-yo I got from a Sysco vendor event and it reminded me of when my then-boss tried to take a full sized box of kosher salt that was part of a display, thinking it was a free sample. You guys ever go to those? That guy loved nothing in the world more than free poo poo so he would go to every one and take me along in case he actually saw something he might want to try selling.

One of my co-workers was gushing the other day about how UberEats delivers Shari's so she can get pie whenever she wants for just a $5 delivery fee. All i could think was "How much of that is the driver getting?"

God I love it when we have events with prime rib so I can make myself a prime rib dip with the leftovers. How do you guys feel about "prime rib" being synonymous with any standing rib roast regardless of grade? I always feel a twitch of guilt over it even though I know nobody really cares.

Probably the most egregious menu lie I've seen was from someone I worked for, who boasted "wood fired pizza" when it was made in a plain ol' gas pizza oven. Either people didn't notice or they didn't care enough to comment on it because it was still good pizza.

So my boss asked one of the servers to type up some names/descriptions for our new specials. She handed this to me and asked me what I thought about it. All I could manage to say was "It's fine and I hate it so much." Something about bacon and cheddar infused meatloaf broke my brain and I couldn't look at it without laughing hysterically. Like I was laughing so hard it just came out as a barely audible wheeze. Republicans fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Oct 6, 2017 |

As soon as I got the gravy for the pot roast special on the line a single word shot through my mind like lightning: Poutine. Surely my boss wouldn't object to me ordering nearly $200 worth of Beechers cheese curds, right? Darn FSA won't split a case.

Turns out they sold cheaper curds, they just weren't searchable in their app for some reason. Poutine's a hit, though. Just a shame I didn't think of it before we printed the specials menu so we'll just keep it on the chalkboard.

We just got on UberEats this week and I was shocked at many people are willing to pay someone to get golf course food for them. Guess we're doing something right.

Millefeuille is one of those things I immediately want to try when I'm reminded it exists but I never have the opportunity. Probably just gonna have to make some one of these days, but I'd be kinda happy to never work with phyllo again after making baklava for almost four years.

You get some funny orders from UberEats when all the additions you can make to a sandwich are right in front of you and a tap away. Tonight someone ordered a reuben with cheddar, pepper jack and blue cheeses (along with the included swiss), bacon and avocado.

Put in my notice today and even though I've been thinking of changing careers and getting into IT or something for a while now I'm still eager to just jump into a different kitchen. A golf course kitchen is pretty chill and easy but good lord is it boring. I badly need a change of scenery and more of a challenge. The sushi place I like near me is hiring. I'm debating hitting them up or saying gently caress it and taking time off until after new years to start looking.

UberEats is quickly becoming the bane of the existence for anyone on closing shift. Used to be the last hour before close rarely saw any food orders. Now we get all kinds of poo poo when we're trying to go the gently caress home.

Willie Tomg posted:I have never heard an opinion of UberEats that was even remotely positive. I was lucky there was another cook there last night for a cater in the banquet room because I got hit with three large ubers and a four top at the same time. Usually one cook is plenty sunday through thursday to work dinner and close but UberEats is loving with that pretty badly and making business very feast or famine. Also I used them to get some weird BBQ place delivered once and it was horrible. The meat was dry and flavorless and the sauce tasted like imitation maple syrup. But it was delivered hot and quick so I can't fault UberEats for that.
