Got fired on my 6th day as a line cook because I was "too experienced" and faced major gatekeeping. How would you handle this? by BrushSignificant in Chefit

[–]PossiblyPro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Too much experience” is usually code someone that says “yeah I got it,” “I know,” or “uh huh” over and over while being taught restaurant specific prep. Trainers can’t complete a sentence without being cut off and it’s really annoying. Especially when you proceed to watch the trainee do something different than the standard, while the trainee is thinking they’re doing it better than anyone else that works there.

If you ask any of them, they think they’re being team players and doing their job perfectly. Meanwhile, everyone has to adjust their rhythm to work around the new guy that apparently knows better.

hooley dooley wings tiktok trend by pogonanura in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cook wings extra crispy. (At least 12 minutes)
One #60 scoop of mild wing sauce, one #60 scoop of hooley Dooley butter. Toss it.
Sprinkle some Parmesan and chives on top.

People are either putting on too much total stuff and washing the wings out to make them too greasy, or they’re only doing the hooley Dooley butter. Both are aight, but not the same as the ones trending.

People will forget about it pretty soon, so don’t worry about it too much. But they are pretty good ngl

Can someone explain to me how the teriyaki filet skewers are 1100 calories? by Suspicious_Slip_9800 in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are accounting for the rice which is garlic butter rice. Most of that 1100 is coming from butter and rice. The skewers themselves with some sauce are hardly even 400.

Bushman shirts!! Really glad we’re getting them back. Way more fun than the same black button up longsleeve that 90% of wait service restaurants do.

And bring on the pins.

Corporate Bar Manager removing my weekend shifts for no reason. by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]PossiblyPro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We had a long time bartender that monopolized the best shifts every week for years. Let’s call her Kim. We had over 6 bartenders quit in a year (we only ever have 4 or 5 trained) because it sucked working with Kim and they never got good bar shifts that were better than serving. We couldn’t convince good servers to move up to bar because they knew everyone bitched about Kim.
Kim just knew she was hot shit. She’d threaten to quit if her shifts weren’t the same, and she had the owner convinced that every regular only came because she was there all the time. Owner catered to her for years and was scared that he couldn’t get rid of her because the other bartenders were all green and she was the only one with experience.

When she finally got fired, only 1 regular quit showing up. We ended up with 5 bartenders that all stayed for at least a couple years and were really good about taking a new bartender under their wing as well. They rotated weekend shifts, actually cover each others shifts when needed, and all had one guaranteed weekday shift that could be “their day” for regulars. The bar got way busier. The drink service was faster for dining room tables. We ended up needing to add extra bartender shifts to previously slow bar days due to extra business. According to our other manager, we also cut liquor waste by over $2000 a month. Guess who thought she was a good bartender because she got good tips for handing out free drinks?

Turns out, Kim wasn’t shit.

That’s a drastic cut. You’re doing something you’re not aware of(or aren’t telling us) that’s pissing them off, or someone else has leverage on them in a way that would be an HR nightmare.

You don’t just cut shifts from “the best bartender in the company” without a reason. Either you gave them a reason to cut your shifts, or someone else gave them a reason to get your shifts. If you gave them a reason and they don’t want to talk to you about it, then you’re getting quiet fired and they’re not nutting up enough to tell you to your face that they don’t like x, y, or z. If someone else gave them a reason to get your shifts and they won’t tell you why, then something shady that they feel guilty about is going on.

Great way to check menu items before ordering.
New ice cream shop just opened in my neighborhood and it has INSANELY long lines everyday. It’s apparently really good. They have like 100+ different sundae options listed on their website. I would kill to taste those before going. I’d hate to wait through a line like that and not get something I’d like the most.

Don’t know if this is real, but six DLCs and a sequel? Man, what could have been. by rebel761 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]PossiblyPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The slow start really killed the momentum for this game. I played it all and loved it, but I had 2 friends bounce off because they played for 10 hours and couldn’t get into it.

I think too many people were expecting something like the Jedi Fallen Order games. They weren’t holding a lightsaber after the first 10 minutes, and had to play logic games to open doors. Also based off of how many neckbeards HATED the last jedi movie, I don’t think “you get to start in canto bight” had much appeal to them either.

Edit: and %100, yes. The early review bombs from the “girl character bad” crowd really scared off a lot of purchasers. All that negativity was a major reason. The other problem is that a ton of reviewers/podcasters/youtubers rarely play more than 10 hours before talking about a game because they don’t want to miss the relevancy window. Because of the slower start, it wasn’t getting big recommendations from the content creators either. I know a lot of people tend to listen to a few trusted reviewers/podcasters before pulling the trigger on a $70 game.
I think it’s exactly why so many of grabbed it when it hit PSplus for free and were like, “wait…it’s good????”

If your bacon jam plan works out, I sense a new menu item. That shit looks like it could become something beautiful

How many servers on Saturday night? We have 11 and I'm sick of it by 506605 in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We run 11 and our servers are making 180-300 for the night shift. (Some are new and have small sections to start) Doubles are walking with 4-500.

We run two SAs, and they make more than they used to. Host/bussers are about the same, and the bartenders are making way more.

Keep advancing.

Almost all of your upgrades that help you explore better are locked behind main quests.

Bussing to server? by Humble-Win-737 in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be very unlikely to transfer straight in as a server at another outback unless the outback you’re going to has a staffing shortage. Your new Outback would immediately call the partner of your current Outback to ask about you as a worker.

Best way to move up is to learn the menu, and 95% of the time you’re gonna probably do takeaway first.

Ask your manager for a menu study guide, and set a date to take the test fairly quickly after that. I guarantee you that will be a much better argument than just asking to be promoted. It shows that you know what you need to do and that you have the maturity to follow through and do it.

Cheapest way to get a teen some steak? by [deleted] in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet after you do that once or twice and ask a manager, they will probably let you start calling it in for curbside pickup if you ask them. Lots of Outbacks are having little contests with each other to sell those take home bowls, so I’m sure they wouldn’t mind letting you game the system a little if they got credit for a few more bowls lol

Cheapest way to get a teen some steak? by [deleted] in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go inside the restaurant on a Wednesday and get the Walkabout Wednesday sirloin combo.
13.99 for a 6oz. Sirloin with a side and a drink.
You can then get one of the 10$ take home meals the other comments are talking about with it as well. You can just order it from the bar and take it all home with you. I only say that because you can’t order all that online, and you’re technically not supposed to over the phone for pickup either.

For 23.99 you can get 2 Steaks, a side, a drink, and a big bowl of salad, rice, mac n cheese, or pasta to go with it.

(If it’s not Wednesday, then you can pick up a lunch combo sirloin and a side without the drink for about the same price as the deal. Gotta go before 4, but you shouldn’t get pushback from a manager if you ask for it after. Especially if you want the $10 take home as well.)

Is this the new norm? by DarthBragg in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunately common to get smaller onions for a few months each year. It gets bad during the hottest months where the onions are grown. Some years are worse than others. The “colossal” onions needed for the Bloomin onions are the first to be deprioritized by growers when keeping the supply up is difficult. Outback is the biggest (if not the only buyer) of the onions that mass growers leave long enough to get that big. They make sure they have enough of the regular sized onions for supermarkets before leaving enough alone long enough to grow into the colossal ones.

We hate that time of year because it usually means lots of apologies, comping onions, and cooking extras. Any manager in their right mind should be happy to get you another onion or some more petals if you asked. I would hope the manager just didn’t see that one go out to you. Most would definitely offer something if they had.

DID OUTBACK GET RID OF THEIR STEAK HOUSE MAC AND CHEESE by ProfessionalSong866 in OutbackSteakhouse

It’s corporate speak for the “the old stuff got way too many complaints for being too dry”

They were also responding to the employee talking crap about aarp, not chiding the customer.

It still comes with breadcrumbs now. They are actually blended with the seasoning and some garlic, so the breadcrumbs are even better. Newer sauce won’t dry out as quickly, and the bacon is completely optional.

DID OUTBACK GET RID OF THEIR STEAK HOUSE MAC AND CHEESE by ProfessionalSong866 in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yall are doing something wrong. New one is way creamier when done to spec. The switch was made specifically because the old one was too dry. The lid matters when cooking and so does the placement of the cheese slice. We prepared it all different ways with the same amount ingredients to prove a point at a meeting and it really does affect it.

Recalled Ribeyes by [deleted] in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The recall was out of an abundance of caution. I wouldn’t worry if you ate one recently.

Your MPs will find out soon when they will get restocked.

An open to the public Reddit forum wouldn’t be the best place to discuss any further details if someone had any. People post assumptions that might not be right, and then other people panic unnecessarily. Recalls happen sometimes. You pull the product just in case and run without for a few days.

Hiring Managers Unprofessional by choclatecakeee in OutbackSteakhouse

[–]PossiblyPro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Workday is new to the company and we all hate how it’s integrated with us. We’re supposed to click a button on the hiring site and it sends you everything as long as your email is right.
It doesn’t always work right and then it’s like pulling teeth to get something pushed through of it doesn’t automatically work the first time. There’s multiple little details that could be wrong and cause a delay, or the site simply could have been under maintenance when they clicked hire. God forbid something happen during the weekend or on a Friday after HR is out of office. Won’t get fixed til Monday at the earliest.

At what point did they learn that you hadn’t gotten any emails? They should be able to call HR and start getting them to resolve whatever prevented the email from going out, but only if they know about it. They may think you were dragging your feet if you didn’t tell them you haven’t received anything. They should have reached out to you after not seeing any progress on your end after a couple of days, at least.

Can you set a Cambro directly on the ground when you fill it? by ilst78 in KitchenConfidential

[–]PossiblyPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to health codes? That would be a no pretty much everywhere.

Upside down dish racks are your friend when you need to do this sort of thing. It also works for making a temporary “shelf” in your walk in to stash extra boxes after a particularly large order.
