When you’ve got work to do, but you want a hot chocolate, but you don’t want to go to sleep.

One Answer - Get that coffee in that hot chocolate (no this is not the same as a mocha)

Kitchen Talk

When did "I'm just dishing up" become "plating up" and cutting vegetables become prep. Kitchen talk has taken over my life.

Today's shower thought

Today I realise that the commercial food suppliers '3663' are called that because 3663 is food on a number keypad.

Seen this happen right in front of my eyes.

WHEN ALL THE CUSTOMERS IN THE RESTAURANT ARE SEATED IN ONE SECTION AND A CUSTOMER ASKS IF THEY CAN SIT IN THE EMPTY, CLOSED OFF SECTION

[waitressuk]

I literally just tell them they can't. There is no negotiation.

So we had a Fire

Today's treat was small, but equally scary kitchen fire. I'm not gonna go into details but no one was hurt and nothing was badly damaged, just a bit of smoke and a now burnt oven. But what was provided was pure stupidity. Let me explain: 1) *black smoke visible in restaurant, evacuation in progress, fire alarm ringing* "Sir, madam, you have to evacuate, there's a fire in the kitchen" "Oh, I'll come out in a minute" "I just said there's a fire" "Yes I heard you, but I'm still eating my food" Needless to say I left them there as my job was done and i wasn't gonna inhale smoke for them, it still took them a few mins tho. 2) *the building is shut and there's two staff members at the front door to ensure no one goes in* "Excuse me, I ordered a cappuccino and I didn't get it" "I'm sorry, you can come back another day and have one or get a refund" "Can't you make it now?" "The building is shut, the fire brigade are still inside and we've just had a major fire, so no I can't" "Oh, well can you get me my money back for it?" "I'm not going into that building, there's just been a fire, come back another day" "Well that's just not good enough" I must of stood there in disbelief for at least 5 mins after that one. Sorry for long post, but people are idiots sometimes.

I love Karma

So I was patiently waiting for my break today at about 3pm, everyone else gets sent first and even my manager decides to get some food before I go, I was starving but went along with it. I got told I could go at 5pm. 5pm comes along and so does the hoards of people, my manager gives me that "don't go" look and all I can do is smile, wave and walk the fuck outta there :-) Karma, you gotta love it!!

Commendations to US servers

I don't know how you guys do it. You only get $2.13 p/h as a wage as a server, that's damn right ridiculous. Over here in the UK, minimum is £6.50p/h (around $10) and that seems pitiful, although tipping isn't so much a done thing here, 3% average I reckon, I still get around £40 ($60) a week on top of my wages. Seriously guys, commendations for having to earn a wage the hard way, we just show up and get paid whether the customer has amazing service or not.
