/ck/ - Food & Cooking

come on /ck/ I know you got some new stories

Ok served a customer a rat trud on a bun once. no one told me to throw away the bags with holes away on first day. Assumed burnt sesame seed.

I currently work part time as an Edible Arrangements in New England. Been working there a few months AMA.

>Edible Arrangements Delivery Driver*

I work at Whole Foods.

Get to take home a ton of fresh produce that looks a little ugly, and expired foods from the chilled section and grocery section.

>>10580513
dont really have a lot of stories but I hate any fucker that comes in the last 30 mins and orders a fucking burger.

>>10580950

>>10580909
Are you encouraged to do that or is it a matter of "no one cares as long as management isn't looking"?

Delivered pizza when I was 18. Me and another guy kept track of people who didn't tip on the reg, in a notebook and would fuck with their pizzas when they ordered. Nothing too gross, just shit like turning the pizza boxes upside down or putting a bunch of extra salt on their pizzas. One guy would only tip me a quarter because he only lived a half block away.
One time two sexy 20 year-old girls were making out in langurae (one had huge tits basically hanging out) when I delivered a large mushroom ham. They then gave me exact change for the pizza (8 crumpled dollars nd 37pennies) and told me "the show" was my tip, because that was all the money they had.

DEAL WITH IT YOU FUCKING CUNTS, IF YOU'RE SERVING FOOD THEN SERVE IT, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SERVE AT SOME HOUR CLOSE EARLIER
WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM ASSHOLES WHO DO YOU THINK PAYS YOUR GODDAMN SALARIES IT'S US CONSUMERS AND IF I WANT A BURGER 30 SECONDS BEFORE CLOSING TIME YOU'LL FUCKING MAKE ME ONE YOU LAZY BASTARDS

>starbucks barista
I’d just be a dickhead whenever people were picky about their coffee. I never fucked with anyone’s order, but I enjoyed embarrassing people by calling out their long and intricate orders and making other customers in line laugh at them. Most of the insane orders came through mobile, and we were only supposed to call it out by their name, “mobile order for John!” Fuck that. I had to make your tall 2/3rds decaf kids temperature extra foam coconut milk 1.5 pump mocha 1 pump hazelnut 2.5 splenda upside down latte macchiato in a venti cup and everyone is going to know about it.

>>10581069
Why the fuck do delivery drivers think they deserve a tip? The fuck is wrong with the US?

>>10581156
It’s customary. Share food stories. If you want to discuss Americans tipping, google one of the billion discussions that have already been had on the topic.

>>10581069
"Langurae" took me a fucking while. Dude, is that how you say lingerie? That's not how lingerie is pronounced lol. Fuckin langurae Jesus Christ I love you fucks

I'm a line cook. Our resuraunt gets our tofu (we don't have tofu on the menu, it's just for when people specifically ask for it) to taste good by frying it in bacon grease. Fuck people trying to rewrite our menu. Also tofu actually tastes good once it soaks up all the bacon.

I work at Buffalo Wild Wings and stop fucking ask to mix sauces together. Its really a pain in the ass also fuck you when complain your wings weren't "saucy enough". As if your fat ass couldn't eat it without being drenched in thick corn syrup sauce.

>Work in grocery store
>Actually follow health standards

Why are restaurants allowed to get away with doing disgusting shit? We have to throw out all items as soon as they hit their best by date and we throw away any frozen or hot items that were left out of the freezer/heater for more than 20 minutes. Also anything that leaves the store and returns is automatically discarded.

>>10581109
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL YOU STILL HAVE TO STEER

>>10581306
It's not that they are it's that they do shit at the last minute. After working at sonic, McDs and Waffle house, you realize this shit. NORMALLY the food is up to code, maybe not the rest of the places but to be fair, I'm not paid enough for this gay shit

>>10581299
Maybe do your job better to earn that sweet 7.25/hour.

>>10581299
nah, do your job. if you don't like it, someone else will do it.

Never worked food service but I worked in liquor stores and was a bartender in a taproom. Anyone want those stories?

>>10581569
Yup most likely a nigger who never washes his hands

I was a server and prep cook at a small dinner for a few weeks. It was really nice. But once these two old cunts came in, ate, then sat there for like 2 fucking hours. I never took their plates away because they were chatting so much, I refilled their water and whatever but never took their plates/etc. Eventually the dishes were being done and they were the only ones that had plates even on the table.

I went over and said I was gonna take them and scooped them up. They both looked at me like I slapped them both across the face. They even told my manager about it which was really odd IMO. They didnt really care and neither did I.

Like damm bitch, get the fuck out of the diner and go talk outside or at home or something. And who the hell gets mad when a server takes plates away?

>>10581575
>Nigger
Nope, kys faggot.

I'm starting work at a grocery store deli at the end of the month. I've been told I'll be alternating between working the front an cleaning the back/equipment/etc.

What kind of bullshit am I in for?

I worked as a cashier at an Arby's in not the best part of a large (by flyover standards) city about seven years ago.

One of our managers was promoted up from cashier to manager because she was the only employee present when the old manager was fired. As in, the GM fired the old manager, turned around, and gave her job to the first person he saw. She'd smoke cigarettes in the drive through area, and sold pills in the store fairly regularly. One time she dropped one of the roast beefs (the whole roast, not a sandwich) into a full trashcan. She pulled it out, wiped it off with paper towels, and threw it on the slicer.

>>10581751

There was a middle aged black lady who worked the registers with me. She was uneducated and busted broke, just working to pay bills and being the nicest mama type person. She got fired for no-call, no-showing three times in a row. Turns out, she'd been hit by a car and was in a coma for four or five days. The managers knew, too. She'd worked there for six years and never missed a day.

>>10581754

One time a methhead tried to climb in through our drive thru window and black dude manager fought him off with a broomstick. There was also a time that we couldn't get these two homeless people to quit blowing each other (literally) in our parking lot and had to call the police. Other than that, shit was just boring and sad.

>>10580513
I worked at IHOP.
Literally all your food is dropped on the floor and served to you anyways because the cooks are in a hurry and you can only fit so many workers into such a small kitchen

>>10580513
My first job was at a Subway. Business was slow as fuck, but the customers that came in loved me because I was the only one who did a good job and made conversation. I got my first blowjob in the back office. Good times.

From a guy that worked in Fast food:
For the LOVE OF GOD, if there's McDicks, I bet there's like 10 other places in walking distance, at 5AM GO SOMEPLACE ELSE! Not everyone needs to cram in 1 line like it's a conga line from hell. Fucking hell.

>>10581299
i know that feel. i spent too goddamn long working for that shit company, and all the fuckwads who would feel the need to come in at 1:50 am to order food. and not for takeout.

I spat in a face of a wagie when he gave me a wrong order once.

>>10580513
Butcher for a grocer.
Customers bitching that the meat isn't "fresh" enough, so I take some out on a tray, piss off in the cooler for about 5 minutes, bring out the same meat they just said wasn't fresh and seemed delighted that I had brought out some more. Only asians do this, but mostly poos. I wouldn't mind as much if it was a select few customers, but literally every hour there's at least 1 customer that does this.

i work at a really old pizza place. it's run fucking terribly, and gets away with it because of how old and semi famous in the area they are. when i tell people i work there, they say "oh, i love that place!" and i have to warn them that if there is any kind of story they could possibly hear that would make them swear off eating at a restaurant ever again, i could find the one that worked for them. health and safety shit, the way they treat their employees, the way they treat EACH OTHER, fucked up shit they've done as individuals, etc. there really is no end to how terrible these people are.

one of the worst things i've ever experienced in my life, let alone at work, was at this place. a coworker and dear friend had a massive heart attack while working right in front of us, and the rest of us who witnessed it were forced to literally and figuratively step over his dying body to continue working the rest of the day. he had worked there for decades, made quite possibly millions of pizzas, and if one of the cooks didn't put his foot down the restaurant wouldn't even have closed for his funeral.

fuck them. i can't wait to get the fuck out once i milk them for everything they've got. i hope you're reading this you old wop fucker. i don't know why you keep going to church because you're definitely going to hell no matter what

>>10582568
>forced to

Chose to. Faced with the extinction of your human decency or an easily replaceable job, you chose the job as not to inconvenience your own life.

You're gonna have to take some responsibility for that one

>Starbucks barista
worst I'd do is steal and write pejoratives with caramel sauce on the foam of the caramel macchiatos. a few times the customer went over to the condiment bar and unlidded their cup but no one ever complained.

>>10582584
it wasn't convenience, it was shock. i was completely lost and doing work gave me an anchor.

if i could do it again, i'd walk out.

>>10581109
I worked at a place where the kitchen was closed a half hour before the restaurant shut down, it was even printed on the menu. Can't tell you how many people walked in 5 mins before close expecting us to prepare a full meal as the kitchen was being cleaned. Also the kitchen was open so anyone could see exactly what we were doing. No mercy for these folks, and it wasn't a chain so no worries telling them to fuck off.

>>10581786
Tell BJ story. Was it a customer, or employee? I ask because I felt my first titties when I worked at a subway

The tip is for extra appreciation, I feel less like tipping when you hold my food hostage

>>10581171
Holy shit thanks anon I spent too long trying to figure out what the fuck he meant.

For some reason starbucks is confusing to me. Never really know how to order right lol. But next time I went they advertising some almond cinnamon macchatio . Anyways I got the biggest size iced almondmilk latte . It was good but it was almost 5 dollars. And none of the food there really appeals to me. I only have been there like 1 once a year

We're allowed to. It gets thrown away at the end of the day anyway, so management have no issue with it.

>>10581069
>>10580950
These kind of people are the reason I never get fast food.
Not because it's "unhealthy" but because some self entitled cunt will be in contact with the very thing I put in my mouth, and I find that unacceptable.

>>10582707
I was scheduled to come in from 4:30 pm to Close. But I got a call at about 2 pm from my co worker and she's begging me to come in early. I didn't have a driver's license at the time but I didn't want to leave her hanging. So I hopped on my old bike and rode my ass down there. It was a hot day hell that day too. Around closing time she shows back up to thank me and gives me a hug. I used this opportunity to get a handful of ass. Which led to us walking to the back office where there are no cameras. She bent over to fuck but I didn't have a condom and there was no way my high school ass was going to risk getting a girl pregnant nor did I want to lose my virginity in the back office of a subway (at least not to her). So instead she pulled my pants down and sucked my dick. Looking back it was a terrible blowjob but at the time it was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. I was 17 and I think she was 24. It wasn't the last time I used that office. Grabbed a fair share of titties back there. So, how about that titties story?

In contrast the other dishwasher who closes never needs help. If we help him anyway, then we're getting out about 30 min - 1 hour earlier than if the nigger is closing.

Line cook at a well known ""fine dining"" seafood restaurant. Most the time the food isnt fucked with, worst i saw was the african cook drop a raw ahi tuna steak on the ground and rinse it off before blackening it. Only really grossed out by the lack of attention to hand washing cause it gets too busy to wear gloves 100% of the time. I only really fuck with the dickhead front of house servers food but only if theyre actively fucking with me. Like yesterday a server rang in a medium rare burger while i was still stocking so i held off on making it till i had time to actually make a good burger, but the server started demanding 5 minutes after ringing it in so i just seared the outsides of the patty and fed it to him still cold in the middle. Most of our seafood is frozen despite claiming to be fresh, but its a fish grill in the middle of Utah, you cant really expect all that shit fresh.

I was a dish bitch for a while. I was constantly told how great a job I was doing and that I was the best they ever had. This was confusing to me because 1. Cleaning dishes isn't hard. And 2. I really didn't feel like I did anything special aside from keeping the pit clean and being sociable. This confusion went away when I saw how absolutely shit the guy who worked the pit on my days off was. This guy spoke no English, would constantly send dirty plates back, was always drunk and would let dishes pile up for a couple hours before doing them. Shit was disgusting.

Sure, in theory it's optional, but at most restaurants you are expected to tip, so the managers can get away with paying their employees less. The servers are left to basically suck dick for change, and it's totally legal. I wish we could change this, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Oops, sorry. Wrong post!

Just started at a Large Chain Restaurant. I've only been here ten hours and I'm pretty certain I'm a germaphobe now. Eat food like normal humans, you animals. Do you know where those plates have been? I don't. Why the FUCK do you leave fifteen straw wrappers on your seat. Why yes I'd love to shove you and your four fat heifer friends into a tight ass booth. And most importantly, keep your mongrel kids in line or I'm hiding the crayons.

>>10582963
I think the assholes who expect to get food delivered to them for free (non-tippers) are the "self-entitled" ones

>>10582764
I survived off of tip money. My actual wage payed by the owner was only $3 an hour. These people who didn't tip and weren't obviously poor diserved to be fucked with.

>>10582764
The tip is expected and part of our culture's norms.

>>10586024
Delivering pizzas I had some days that I probably less than minimum wage. Once I had only 2 deliveries so I just made about $40 total for an 8 hour shift. Hopefully the good night's make up for it. One Halloween I made about $400 in tips.

>>10587493
I paid for the food and it being brought to me is part of that. If your master doesnt pay you enough, go on strike, you dumb cunt.

On the one hand, I understand that chicken wings should be predominantly chicken and the sauce should serve merely as an accent to bring out the delicious flavor of fried chicken wings.
However, on the other hand, if someone wants a pint of corn syrup barbeque sauce on their hot wings, then it's your job to make it that way. If they have a dead palate, it's not your fault.
I'm a wagecuck, too, and there are plenty of times I want to tell a customer to fuck themselves for a stupid request, but it's still your job.

I work at a movie theater, we serve the usual shit but also things like wings/sandwiches/tuna.

>I NEVER wash my hands, ive literally gotten SHIT on my hands wiping my ass a few times and I just wipe it off my fingers, run em under water for 2 seconds and go back to work. If no visual poo I don't even bother with water
>Often drop food in the back kitchen on the floor that I'm sure has never been washed, crusty shit and sticky spots everywhere, still serve it to guests
>Sneeze into popcorn machine sometimes
>When loading the smoothie machine, I notice mold in there a lot, I just mix it up so the mold isn't visible and call it a day

Fuck these rich people coming here thinking they're better than me cuz I work at a kinoplex

The thread is to tell the stories faggot. That was the A of your ama you dumb bong.

dad owned a restaurant for 10 years when I was growing up. favorite story:
>dad has to leave for a food show convention the next day
>gives keys to friend he's worked with for 30+ years so he can take off early. guy works as the dishwasher and general maintenance stuff.
>wakes up at 3AM to police call
>tons of cops at the restaurant
>dad's friend got drunk and somehow set an alarm in the restaurant off
>cops found him passed out drunk in the basement
>dad has to drive 45 minutes to the restaurant to deal with it

Is it true you leave the same soup boiling for days and just top it up with water every now and then?

Also
>be me
>gap yahh in nipland
>work convenience store
>Oden (dunno what its called in english, like boiled eggs and fish cakes and stuff in brine water) needs topping up every now and then
>Literally this stuff sits there open top for weeks on end and the only maintenance is to refill the water occasionally

Managers were cool af though, got given the prize lottery merch they didn't sell like dragonball Z stuff, anime figs etc. would recommend. They also gave me free food.

I highly doubt that's the case at a corporate grocery market as large as Whole Foods. Those companies get money back for shrink (not expired goods but damaged goods) but they have to physically send back the shrink, so they never let people leave with it. I've had two friends who worked at two serperate Whole Foods and they said they couldn't take anything home, ESPECIALLY if it's expired (potential law suit). In fact when they left with any food they had to have a receipt for it or they couldn't leave with it. Either you're lying or your managers are unbelievably lax about the rules.

I worked in publix deli 4 years total. Honestly it all depends on your location and your staff. When I lived near UCF in Orlando, in about 2012-2014, I worked at the most BOMB ASS deli, all college kids as coworkers and customers and dude we had a fucking blast. Made crazy ass sandwiches, always singing and telling jokes, made out with chicks after work etc. The old store on colonial and 95, for those wondering. though they tore it down and moved it near the 408 which is a way worse store. Old one had heart, new one became about money

Then I've worked at some that have made me want to kill myself. Hated all co-workers, all were retarded or annoying, made drama, etc. anon it all depends. If you get a couple kids your age it could be fun. But either way just 'roll with the punches' a jobs a job. Don't like it look elsewhere and put your two weeks notice in once you find a new one.

>Group of college kids come in
>First guy wants to try something new
>"Hey, this isn't really what I wanted, can I try something different?"
Sure, man. The menu is right up here, I can read it for you if it's hard to see. If you like, you can tell me what other kinds of coffee you like and I can help you pick something new that's closer to your tastes.
>"Oh, I think I'm done adventuring for today. Do you guys have something like a Starbucks caramel frap?"
Not really, but I can probably get close to it. That'll be $5.50.
>"Oh, I wasn't going... I have to pay for it?"
Well, that's sort of how this situation works.
>"But I already bought one."
You're right, I guess I owe you my entire store now. (He's joking with the guy as he's making him the drink anyway.)
>"You don't have to be rude, man."
I also don't have to make you a free coffee just because the one you already bought wasn't to your liking, but I'm doing it anyway, so I guess I'll just take my neutral karma. Here's your caramel thing.
>"T-thanks. Uh... you know what, can I talk to your manager?"
Sure thing.
>I come over
Yes, sir, how can I help you?
>"Your employee here is pretty rude. This [SITUATION] just happened."
Yea, I know, I was standing like 3 feet away.
He left after that.

Another time, just me.

No, probably not.
>"Wow, what's your attitude problem?"
Yes.
>"W-what?"
Is there anything else I can get for you?"
>"Yes, your fucking manager."
I am the manager. Also, cussing in public is a class 3 misdemeanor. Continue to do so, and I'll ask the police officers in the drive-thru to come in and escort you off the premises.
>confusion
>I-is this how you treat all your customers?
Pretty much. Is there anything else I can do for you?

Not a problem. Enjoy your day.

I fucking knew it. The whole reason I applied to a grocery store was to make friends and work on my people skills but oh no, let's put you in a basement of a store with coworkers you will never have anything in common with because they're middle aged black women with kids from the other side of town who talk about stuff you will never relate to or experience. They won't even let me help out when there's a bunch of shit that needs doing (even when the manager tells me to help them out).

I used to work at a chuck E cheese when I was in Highschool before joining the Navy.

I cooked, cleaned and danced as Chucky.

Long story short, I almost got into a fight with some kids dad who slapped me in the back of the head while I was in the Chucky suit and this was after I got decked by a teenager like a week before and was two steps from going on a murderous rampage with the Pizza knife until my boss put me in place and told me to calm the fuck down.

I had so many fucking weird stories from this place because you'd get regular, working-class people coming in for a drink and some gas, but we'd also get so many fucking rich assholes looking to buy expensive wine and have you wait on their every whim. I have more if ya'll are interested

>>10589231
I work as a stock receiver there actually (I'm the anon you're responding to). If products are deliberately short dated or damanged they are checked on delivery and sent back to the supplier. Certain suppliers don't bother asking for stock back, on these occasions we're allowed to do what we want with it. Chilled products already have short expiry dates, and if we over-order, we tend to have a lot of wastage which, if not sold after being heavily discounted, is allowed to be taken by staff.

Not /ck/ but Middle Easterners were universally the worst customers to deal with when I worked in retail. I talked a lady who threw away a receipt, came back several hours later after the trash cans had been emptied into the dumpster, then demanded I climb into the dumpster to get her receipt back.

>I want my receipt back, I need my receipt, this is ridiculous.

Was a bartender and waiter through high school and college. Small town restaurant owned by my friends parents. All townies, regulars as customers. Made 4 bucks an hour plus a stack of cash tips.

Sound's ridiculous, but true. The couple that created the place were super opportunistic and decided to set up in an old service station because it was cheap. It actually worked out well because there was a large parking lot that they converted into an outdoor seating area, and the used the old garage to set up a grocery + produce + alcohol area. tons of cheap space I guess

>>10581806
I was, 8 bucks an hour for an 8 hour shift with zero breaks, busy as fuck constantly, and had to clean pretty much everything in the restaurant besides the kitchen. Usually worked evenings, one night a party of 10 called in to come in an hour before closing, they didn't show up until 15 minutes before closing, I didn't leave until 1am, about 2 hours after I should have, and had to show up at 8 am the next day. Shit sucked, I'm probably just being a bitch but I'm glad I quit. Co workers were cool though

>>10593931
That was my experience with dishpit too. Used to work for The Keg and on weekday nights I had to do everything and when I got there the entire prep lines shit was always stacked from the ceiling and on every part of the dishpit because they were too lazy to finish their fucking job and they kept doing it even when I complained to the manager. Dishpit is disgusting work for not good pay and I’m glad I’m done with that shit, I’ll never work in a kitchen again ever.

The worst was seeing the servers come back by me to fuck around on their phones for ten minutes and actually get smoke breaks while they bitched about their work, when I was hired on I was looking to get a server position and the manager offered to start me as a dishbitch with the option to become a server in the future but it didn't happen

>>10594408
same when you're a cook and the food is sitting in the window getting cold, and all the servers/runners are gone somewhere complaining "HoW sTrEsSfuL ThEIr wOrK iS". then you have to remake it because it was sitting there for too long.

Yeah I get that, us dishbitches were bros with the bussers and cooks since we were all back of house types while the servers were cliquish but they weren't dicks, plus I was friends with a bunch of servers from high school.

>He walks to the door unusually fast, so I'm kinda nervous

>He whips out a check already signed for $40, starts handing it over to me
>as I grab it the grocery manager walks up to the front
>Manager is 5ft prolly 110lbs, covered in tattoos but overall extremely non-threatening
>She takes one look at him and yells "get out, you aren't allowed here!"

>She yells at him to get the fuck out or she'll call the cops
>He points at his dick and says "I know you want some of this"
>The coworker who was stocking beer earlier comes up and starts walking towards him
>He immediately bolts
>Find out after that he and his buddies occasionally would bounce checks to get free gas
>Also find out that over the course of 1 year he had stolen around $2000 worth of wine. He would go in and stuff bottles down in his baggy pants and leave

Before Buffet Inc went under, I worked for an Old Country Buffet during college. Besides the understaffed weekends where I worked as a dishwasher for 10 hour shifts without any breaks, this is the worst story I can muster:

>putting trays away next to grill for steaks
>big ghetto nigger pushing a cart full of trays of fish to be cooked
>trips because of the wet floor
>about five trays of fish fell on the wet dirty floor

>another coworker says "not Anon, he's too innocent" jokingly
>I am by far the youngest there, and I don't want the managers to get a bad impression since I've known them for a while
>So I say in the most solemn voice possible "you know, one time, I was with my friends....and I injected 13 marijuanas and I almost died."
>Whole room loses it laughing

That's shitty. Where I work BoH can take a break whenever you're not busy. Though if you take too many you might get written up. Which is why I occasionally get guys from the line back in the prep area helping me out.

>>10593949
>prep lines shit was stacked to the ceiling
Sounds brutal. Can't really see it where I work though. I work prep and we are required to send everything but sharp shit to dish. Most of our dishwashers have no problem dealing with it.

>>10594408
Servers are the bane of my existence. Easily 90% time I'm yelling at someone for doing stupid shit and making a mess in prep, it's a fucking server. Doesn't happen as frequently, at least when I'm at work, but it still happens. For example:
>get cheese cake in
>has to be in our tiny walk-in
>there's a plate with a piece of cheese cake and cutlery
>looks like someone wanted a snack
>rest of the cheese cake is stacked next to the boxes of ground beef
>some of the boxes are empty and there are trashcans right outside the walk-in
>ask servers to take care of it
>they don't
>grab the trash and "snack", dump it on the server line
>get a cart to store the cheese cake on (shelves were full)
>tell them I'm not their mother and I don't shit up the server line so stop shitting up prep area
>tell them I put their cheese cake on the cart and that shit like that doesn't go next to RAW FUCKING MEAT
>they didn't make a mess and cleaned up after themselves the rest of the day

I work at a Dollar Tree. It'd be a great job if it wern't for the fucking customers.
They strew shit everywhere when they decide they don't want it or don't have the money.
The best ones will hand shit to me and tell me they decided against it. The next worse are the ones that stash it in the impulse shelves with the candy bars and shit. The worst are the ones that leave frozen food out to melt.
After a year, I've gotten used to screaming children, but I still get pissed when someone decides to eat something before they pay.

The Managers are alright. The head is a bitter old woman who I suspect has no company but her cat. The Assistant managers are a grandma that's just put in her two weeks notice, a girl about my age, and a MILF about ten years older than me that I'd fuck the shit out of if I were willing to deal with that baggage of a depressive divorcee with two kids.
Instead I passed and she hooked up with a guy my age from the donut shop down the road so she can get young dick and cheap coffee.

No interesting stories except for the time I got hit on by a woman out of her mind on meth probably.

They don't sit on the seat, anon. They "hover" over it in a squatting position, afraid that they'll catch germs from the toilet. Granted, they have reason to be afraid. Women are utterly filthy in areas that they don't have to take care of and aren't responsible for. If is doesn't make them look bad if the area looks like shit, most don't care.

>>10592575
So far I've seen a little 1 year old girl get run over,a guy having a stroke,a girl fainted and face planted leaving me a bloody mess to clean,some idiot bloodying his hand with the tomato slicer,a car crash. The worst part about the first 2 is having the relatives ask me for a cup of water and seeing their devastated faces trying to process shit

Christ fix your fucking attitude problem. When I was your age I'd have killed for a good job when I was allowed to be social. Entitled fuck.

worked at McDonald's when I was in high school
had a guy try to get free/cheap shit out of me, told him no, manager came over and told him to leave so he got down on his knees and started waving his hands around and making wierd gestures, condemned us to hell and some other satanic shit
it was weird

>>10581620
if they have those john boos stainless steel tables be careful the edges underneath the top can be sharp. be absolutely fucking careful when you clean your slicers and NEVER HOLD A TOWEL TO THE BLADE WHILE ITS ON TO CLEAN IT FASTER. for fucks sake i've seen so many idiots do that shit and getting towels jammed in the blade and almost losing fingers.

>>10597409
Fuck rolled sheet metal sometimes. We ended up taking a grinder to a bunch of surfaces just because it was causing injuries and tables/equipment would occasionally slice coats or pants, if not our hands

We had oven/range combos that were destroying uniforms.

>>10597424
i've sliced my fingers too many times on those fucking tables man. now i just use a towel to move them every time regardless if the edges are sharp or not. fuck those tables god damn.

you're not even qualified to make a simple post on a challenged children's cartoon forum let alone actually doing an actual job good enough to get tipped
if you get the opportunity you should honestly just kill yourself

I'm a shift supervisor at a Starbucks. I recently had a woman threaten to have me fired because I wouldn't blend a cake pop into her frap.

>>10597431
e-even my kitchen?

Worked as a line cook during summers in college at a restaurant that exclusively hired high school girls as servers. Fucked three cuties in a single summer. Only one was at work though, the other two were at their houses.

>>10597301
Is your restaurant in the middle of a freeway? Wtf.

>>10597379
Dude, you gotta understand something, in this economy, 7.25/h is ridiculously bad. I will be making 9 at my new job. That's jut barely above shit

that's probably why you can take things home. In the states that would NEVER be allowed. I worked at Publix for 6 years and it was the same thing.

>>10580513
I used to work at Starbucks for a little over a year (2013-2014), that was my first and last food service job. One manager was retarded as fuck (once had to ask me what 20+32 was when ordering stock, also smoked while pregnant so I'm sure that child is came into this world with a triple digit IQ) and the other was a notorious faggot that would sit in the back on grindr all shift. All the female shift-leads were a bunch of catty cunts, but most of the guys there were chill. I worked the closing shift, so once the manager fucked off, we'd either rip our friend's G-pen or get some tallboys from the gas station and get a slight buzz going. I think of all the weird orders we'd get was this Russian man who reeked of cologne and would order at 6-shot undertow at 8 every night, I think he was mafia-related because he always had a wallet stacked with bills and one night tipped all three of us $100 each, and then we never saw him again.

It's the !manager again, and I felt the need to respond to this problematic post.

If I made $15/hr, I could afford to a "I have autism please be patient" hat. Unfortunately, I only make $10/hr plus tips, so the best I can do is caustic banter and snide quips in the hope that my unfortunate patrons understand I have a cognitive-developmental disorder that prevents me from meaningfully interacting with persons who are the social equivalent of dry-humping a cactus.

Please be understanding - this isn't my fault, and is simply beyond my control.

It was in Oklahoma.

I used to work in a place that made flavoured protein powder for bodybuilders and other health supplement drinks.
We had a policy, if you weren't happy with your product, you could return it for a full refund.
All the half eaten tubs of returned protein shake would go onto a pallet and after a while there would be enough there for a full batch.
The boss would make us put it through a sieve and blend it up and repackage it in brand new containers.
Was pretty fucked up, I think the company went out of business.

you are one great Anon

In college I took a shitty part-time gig at a movie theatre. After a particularly long shift, which included a fire alarm, evacuation and hundreds of angry customers demanding refunds I dropped an entire container of hotdogs on the floor. Not wanting to explain why I threw something like 30 hotdogs away and as noone was at the back with me I just picked them up and put them back in the fridge without rinsing them off. To be honest, whatever was on that floor was still probably not as bad as the roller they're warmed on out front. The popcorn machine and the warmers out front were never cleaned in the 6 months I was there. It was disgusting. But what do I care, theatre customers fucking suck so fuck all y'all.

Even before I worked at a movie theatre I never bought movie theatre food. Now I wouldn't even think about it. I'm sure not all theatres are as bad as that one, but still.

Wow that’s crazy what a dumb bitch

I don't care if these are true or not, you have a talent anon, these are golden.

I worked at Vons when I got out of the Marines. It was a shit job with low pay but I needed something so I took it. My brother worked there produce. I got hired as a clerk in the meat department.

It was pretty menial work, clean this, stock that.

I remember it was so aggravating when people would come in at 8:30 at night pissed cause the meat case was out of most things. They would give me so much shit.

Why isn’t there more chicken breast anon?

Let me go check in the back.

Stand in the cooler and scratch my ass and come back and explain there isn’t anything even if there was cause they were dicks first.

One old guy would come in once a week asking for cube steaks, I think it’s for making country fried steak or some shit. Explain to him on several ocasions we don’t have it this late as people buy it during the day. Suggest maybe come in earlier and buy it then. He yells at me and complains about the store and leaves. This happened on several occasions. One time he came and I was ready and had a pack sitting for him in the back. I came up to him being friendly and brought him the pack I had stashed. He looks at it confused then proceeded to yell at me it wasn’t enough for the meal he had planned. Fuck this gay earth.

Have some other stories if anyone wants to hear them.

Another thing that would happen all the time for me was I would frequently work the closing shift 5-10pm.

This is when I would come in help stock shit and pack what the butchers had cut up and put it out in the cooler. They left around 6 and the department closed at like 8. At 8 I would put up a FUCKING sign that said we are closed. They would see me cleaning out the display cases with the meat on trays and wrapping it up to put away. Every fuckin shift someone would come and ask for something from the case I was closing. I was nice if they were and would help if I wasn’t too behind. Most people were cool but other times they were assholes. I would just refuse to help them with that shit cause I was obviously closed.

A few times when people were really assholes I would take their product they wanted and drop it in the back cooler on the floor or spit in it. The floor was filthy full of blood and old desiccated meat pieces and god knows what else.

I had gone from being in charge of a platoon of marines to doing a job a 16 year old could do. It was fucking devastating to morale working there.

My understanding was that you could get fresh in coastal areas. And I absolutely can get fresh fish if I catch it myself.

>>10606321
And you can get raw milk if you milk it yourself.

All fish is frozen in the US to kill a parasites. Except one has exceptions, salmon or tuna I think

I only stayed in a 4 star hotel once
it's pretty comfy

kinda related... judge for yourself

>be me at uni (Europe), doing various part-time jobs
>one of them would be helping out during various music/theatre/art festivals, usually as a guide/hospitality provider for foreign artists
>one time I got a really easy-going group from US
>picked them from the airport, got to the hotel, checked in. now it's time to accompany them to their first dinner
>as usual checked beforehand for any particular needs - one of them is a vegan, but according to their manager "he won't ask for anything special"
>whatever, notified the restaurant anyway to make sure they'd be ready with some nice choices for him (vegan, or even vegetarian, wasn't really mainstream back then)
>we go to this really nice joint, can't be sure now but it was either inside their 4-star hotel or on par with it
>everybody's done ordering but the vegan dude, who got a special card with 100%-animal-free meals (I think they might have made it just for him)
>waiter politely inquires whether he'd like some assistance with making his choice
>all the others chuckle in perfect coordination, as if they fucking rehearsed it a million times before
>"no, thank you. I'll just have 4 slices of white bread, please"
>WHAT.jpg
>the waiter's a pro but you can see that he is taken aback. he asks what seems to be the problem with the menu provided
>"nothing, I'll just have the bread. and a glass of water"
>the other guys are doing really terrible job at containing their laughter
>waiter leaves. soon he comes back with the friggin' HEAD CHEF in tow, who personally assures (through me as interpreter) the veggie that they're treating his diet with utmost respect and can prepare whatever he wishes for
>"no thank you, just the bread"
>they give up. dinner is served, and so is the bread (the first and only time in my life when I saw plain slices of white bread served along some really fuckin' fancy garnish)

>>10607390
>I can see other guys looking at the veggie in anticipation. what can he possibly come up with?
>lo and behold, he reaches inside his bag (which he kept with him as we entered) and brings out a jar. of. fucking. PEANUT. BUTTER. a Yank brand, no less - he must have brought it with him from the other side of the FUCKING ATLANTIC.
>he then proceeds to make himself peanut butter sandwiches, smack dab in the middle of a fancy restaurant where most people couldn't afford to eat even if it was just once a month.
>I am now in complete awe of our waiter who manages to keep a completely straight face even as his eyes follow the veggie's every move with utter disbelief. nobody prepared him for this kind of madness. you can tell that by the time he is done with our table he will really need a hug. or a stiff drink. probably both
>I just sit there hoping that the head chef doesn't hear about it, the guy's pretty old and way too nice for a heart attack. or a stroke. probably both.

it was later explained to me that during one of their foreign stints they were having a meal at a place which made no distinction between vegetarian and vegan, and the guy almost had a seizure when he found a piece of mozarella cheese in his salad. ever since he absolutely distrusted all the food joints that weren't exclusively vege and so brought his own food supplies with him whenever they travelled.

the restaurant called me later, trying to figure out what the fuck happened. I told them that artists are weird and they shouldn't sweat it.

I'm surprised to hear that there is an exception at all. If that's the case, I would assume that it's tuna. Salmon is riddled with parasites, so much so that the japanese would not eat it raw until very recently. I forget what country it was, but they came up with the method of freezing salmon to kill parasites and then launched a marketing campaign to convince the japanese that raw salmon was good so that they'd buy it from them. And it worked.

>>10608039
A quick google does look like it is tuna. Also the country is Norway in Project Japan.

I've heard wasabi in sushi helps to kill parasites too, and the Japs love pickling foods too.

Really wish this thread want about to end so I could post whatever crazy shit is bound to happen. I was a dish bitch for a day before though and I was being trained by some dude who didn't even speak English and was taking the food scraps off of peoples plates and saving them for later
