tweet my meat posted:The best thing about working terrible jobs is that there are always other terrible jobs. It's really a freeing sensation to know that you could just walk out on the spot without giving notice and have another job in a week or two. I walked out of my worst kitchen job in the middle of friday night bar food rush while the fat useless sous smoked his 20th cigarette out back, and it felt pretty great and i had another lovely kitchen job within two weeks If it worked for me it can work for anyone

Disargeria posted:The good news is that no one has to accept responsibility for underpaying cooks because they'll just be replaced by robots in the next 20-30 years. cooks at mcdonalds and chilis are hosed but silicon is still nowhere near being able to taste/smell things which should make some kitchen jobs relatively AI-proof for a while

I get paid  which is poo poo, but I'm the sole employee and I get all the tips in the cup which is pretty great for the ~100 days a year that the tourists are here buying our overpriced seafood

I'm about to cater a funeral reception for an acquaintance from the restaurant across the street who was alive and well a week ago when we catered a shower for his unborn kid

Last week we had some flooding and the main road was closed so we impressed upon our Sysco rep that this was the case and an alternate route must be taken. We were told that the message was received and that we were the next stop for sure, and then when the truck reached the flooded road dispatch told him to go home and we didn't find out we weren't getting our delivery till after we closed. That truck had 24 lobsters on it, which we told them to keep at this point, because we needed them early the next day and had to make other arrangements. They sent the same lobsters out again the next day anyway, they were already half dead and we refused them. A week later on our next seafood order we ordered 24 lobsters and they sent us literally the same disintegrating box of old dead lobsters. When we refused them they dumped them in our dumpster and now the parking lot stinks of rotten lobsters till Friday.

I work in a tiny kitchen that runs basically 3 overlapping businesses at once (seafood takeout, catering, and pies) where I'm the sole employee and the whole back of the house much of the time and we're wildly disorganized from the top and everything is on the fly and inconsistent and this would drive most people insane but all the chaos flows into my head and hot food comes out on time, and I enjoy the challenge and never being bored at work
