I'm not a cook or a chef or anything, but work went well. Manager at a Natural Grocers by the way.

>>7283434

That's a funny looking kitchen.

p slow, had a single 20 top at like 1pm and thats it

>>7283454

>completely dead
>reservation for 20 top in the middle of the day
>takes forever for the tickets to come in, no rush
>your station is completely crowded, but everything is set to be ready with the rest of the kitchen
>4 separate tickets come in with pain in the ass bar apps that are being tried out for people who just stopped in for a quick drink and a bite to eat

Every time.

>>7283396

Booking for 58 three-course, half of them didn't remember/care what they ordered, left zero tip.

>sysco

also who cut them selves and used a rag to clean it im calling OSHA

>>7283524
That's tomato sauce, homie.

>>7283396
It was fairly decent. Catered a wedding. There were no chef rags in house. Blehhh

It was easy. Snowing hard as fuck so barely any people eating.

Busy as fuck saturday even though cold as shit, dead yesterday, and i start in ten minutes, so we'll see

no work today. yesterday wasn't bad. saturday was busy as a motherfucker.

hoping tomorrow isn't too crazy.

Work was cancelled today because of the rain, sleet, and snow we got yesterday fucking up all the job sites. I grilled wings outside instead. The lemon pepper ones were shit, the regular BBQ ones were average at best, and the ones where I mixed a few things together were amazing. Wouldn't have thought Old Bay, Sweet Baby Ray's, and some Cholula would taste that good combined. Still not on part with the wild concoction my favorite bar puts together but I liked it.

Not good.. dealing with the loss of a lomg time firend

Really easy and slow. Nobody wants to get pizza on mondays, it seems. Worked on my studies in the back most of the day.

I don't work in a restaurant or with my body, because I have real skills. I also had today off because I'm salaried (valued by my company) and today is a holiday.

>>7283948
My condolences, Anon. At least they aren't suffering in this world anymore.

well.. thing is he was young..

>dead today
>busy af Saturday despite cold
Funny how universal this is.
Work was good, only worked dinner today. Had lots of time to clean and do sidework.

>>7284018
pet or person?

>>7284027
person

>>7284004
A talent can be physical or mental.

>>7284069
But one is no more 'real' than the other.

Thanx for playing.

>>7284100
Correct, the mental talent adds much more value to society. Don't be so hard on yourself, the physical brawns can be good entertainment for some people.

>>7284104
>the physical brawns can be good entertainment for some people.
As can your obvious lack of mental talent.

I use my 'brawn' and you keep paying to watch. Thanx for giving me your shekels.

>>7284129
Just curious, what do you actually do that is physical?

>>7283396

This picture is my nightmare.

>why is that rag even on a cooking surface it looks like asswhipe

Grow up and become a real cook, that kitchen is a fucking embarrassment. I Really hope you don't consider your self a chef.

>all these people bitching about sysco

Do you actually buy your sundry items from some underground, artisinal restaurant supply store?

>>7284792
>all this trivial shit
>doesn't even notice mop handle over food surface

You'll make a great middle manager some day.

>>7283396
No easy bake oven?
I don't think osha approves of used tampons and sanitized towels.

>>7284805
let's face it man there might be 2-3 actual "chefs" that post here and the rest of us are line apes, or line apes with fancy french names that translate to "line ape". fucker's joint is still a disgrace though unless all that sysco is togo containers only, which I doubt highly, since if you get one thing from them you tend to get everything from them.

>>7284812
>doesn't do a post mop wipe to get rid of potential splatter
don't tell me you don't wash n walk bro. and it's funny how you're talking like you know what you're talking about you filthy fucking pig.

Just like most of us, it would seem, my day was pretty quiet. Got a lot of prep done though, and even repainted the wooden shelves in dry storage. Yes, it was that slow.

>>7284809
problem is that most places that get that shit also get the rest of their shit from there, which is only acceptable if you're running a greasy spoon. there are more than two food distro services, anon.

>>7283396
I work 10-12 hours 6 days a week in a place making 9-15k easy weekdays and 20 plus on weekends. I guarantee you wouldn't make it half a shift in my kitchen. all i'm sayin is if you don't care about your product why even cook.

>>7284814
above is for you.

>>7284822

I've worked a good handful of places that weren't greasy spoon and they all used multiple suppliers, but Sysco (or the equivalent) was always one of them.

Produce and proteins where usually local distributors, and spices always seemed to be through one of the big companies.

>>7284814
Also I bet you use dried bayleafs. hahahaha.

>>7284817
are these words trying to form a sentence?

look, put the mop away, is it that hard?

>>7284825
>>7284829
lol okay hoss. it's pathetic to lie on the internet, and even moreso to assume that you're hot shit while you do it. i dunno who you are trying to impress but you're an overpaid line ape. you set that menu? no? that's what i thought faggot. one of us.

>>7284835

>put the mop away

Look back at the OP image.

The kitchen is so small there is basically no separation between the kitchen and dish room.

And what's the problem with water bottles?

>>7284831
>usually
well congrats on working at an exception. i bet it was a good time

>>7284833
>leafs
nigga you playin' wit me?

>>7284835
>he thinks i'm the OP
>he still thinks he knows shit
middle management detected. ain't you got some styrofoam cups to order or something? why we always outta shit man quit letting that scabby FOH skank blow you in drystock and do your job

>>7283396
I work for cannalis in Seattle Pleb.
> not one of you
> inb4 you cry cause I make 35$ an hour to cook steaks at god mode all day.
Not trying to impress just weed out the plebs that sulk and saunter around my profession with no respect.

>>7284843
>can't even link properly
how should I take you seriously again? especially when you still lyin'. and even if you ain't, people in Seattle are overpaid to shit, and your city is gonna burn for it. and the plebs shall laugh and laugh.

>tfw it's taco tuesday

>>7284849
>working at a place that does taco tuesday
better be a dive and you better be named Pablo motherfucker or else you goofed your own damn self.

>>7284848
Don't live on 4chan sorry I don't post correctly. I could careless how you take me. I'll be cooking godtier food in 6 hours and forget all this even happened.

>>7284839
You basically have a big ass bucket of rotting water in the middle of your kitchen. On top of that, you have a dirty handle in the middle of production where it's likely to be handled regularly.

Everything else listed in that post is completely trivial bullshit but this is the only thing that is likely to result in food poisoning.

>>7284855
i doubt it, the buttpain of getting called out for a true pleb will gnaw at you. like it always does when you pose like a faggot on here and get called out for it. ape.

>>7284855
>Seattle and it's service sector

I've known a lot of pro chefs from that area and I understand that you're basically supporting the entire economy over there, but you have to understand that you're a fucking cook in a kitchen. Be fucking thankful.

>>7284858
>greasy boxes storing lids meant for food service
>trivial
you are literally shit-tier. go the fuck away you waste of space

>>7284858

>You basically have a big ass bucket of rotting water in the middle of your kitchen. On top of that, you have a dirty handle in the middle of production where it's likely to be handled regularly.

My impression was that OP's pic was taken at the end of service, after everything was broken down and they were finishing cleaning (I have no explanation for the cambro of eggs).

It's lazy to rest the mop against a wall or a table that's already been wiped down, but it's not exactly "rotting water".

>>7284867
if you think that's the biggest problem in the kitchen then you're just wrong.

>>7284875
>putting words in my mouth to save face
oh man, just keeps digging himself deeper don't he

>spinach oil

What the fug?

>>7284873
>end of service.
>rag with red something
>no water closet or any janitorial area at all to roll that shit over to

sure buddy

you see the difference between middle man and high man is the high man leaves that kind of bullshit to the middle man. the high man is there to protect the value of the company. no customer is going to give a shit about eggs in a particular container or a dirty cardboard box full of plates. This is called value. No customer gets served a greasy box of plates. They're going to care when they wake up in the middle of the night after eating there and vomiting until 5 in the morning because dirty ass floor water has dripped on their food.

>>7284890

Have you even worked in a professional kitchen before?

>>7284886

Didn't even notice that.

I've seen parsley oil and basil oil before, but spinach oil, without any seasonings?

I can't even begin to imagine where that would be used.

>>7284894
yes, long enough to know that its useless talking to floor associates, long enough that the only thing they respect is consequence.

I wrapped up a bunch of ingredients and threw away a bunch of food just like every day.

Health inspector SOON.

>>7284900

>middle management
>floor associates

Working at Walmart long enough to reach the point where you're given a company tie doesn't count as working in a kitchen, anon.

>>7284907
That would be a great insult if your kitchen was the #1 employer in America.

Do you think Walmart regularly leaves janitorial equipment in food prep areas? Are you trying to reach the level of Walmart? Does your company even have a corporate office?

You mean you guys trade time for money? That's like giving someone gold for a nugget of shit.

>>7284904

I've never been around for a health inspector (kinda want to get a licence just for the power trip of being able to frighten people already on the edge with immunity).

One time my chef who was a full blown autismo skinny black guy, weird as fuck and the funniest person in the kitchen when he wasn't trying, wasn't informed that a rep from a coffee company was coming to talk to the manager about putting in an espresso machine.

So this lady in a suit shows up and starts walking around the kitchen like it's nothing, talking with the manager, and the chef goes full black ninja mode (literally making sound effects), cleaning shit up and straightening out the pantry/walk-in.

45 minutes later he found out she was just looking for a suitable place to put an espresso machine, and what model, etc.

It was his first time as chef having a health inspection and was the funniest thing I'd ever seen.

>>7284928
This is a hilarious story. Last time I dealt with a health inspector I was joking around with her and we weren't even trying, and she told us we did better than most of the spots she checked that day. She was pretty cool, honestly. Strange for an older woman; usually they are sticklers.

>>7284913
>we can undercut Walmart on price and quality because we leave the wash bucket in the kitchen so we can mop up quickly between jobs.

>>7284843
There is literally not a place called "cannalis" in Seattle?
Did you mean Canlis, you twat?

>>7283948
Did you check the last place you left him/her?
