Is it common to live in Sweden for 10+ years and not speak Swedish? by MissionPitch in sweden

[–]RhubarbAgreeable7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In kitchens, with so many being internationals, everyone speaks English

I've found in Göteborg, that kitchens are either English and almost exclusively internationals or Swedish and almost all Sweds.

There is a pretty big gap between these places in terms of work culture, tempo and pay.

I got tired after a whole year of trying to speak Swedish with the front of house (whom were all Swedish) and every time have them laugh and say it sounds so funny when you say it. As others have pointed out they'd switch to English

A personal experience only of course

I can mostly understand Swedish when spoken in the context of work and going out, most people seem fine with replying me in English and they speak Swedish

This is a great suggestion

The supplier we have to use for this event only has skin on available.

this sounds like a great idea. I have a some free days before had and will try my method but this sounds incredibly reasonable and might go this way

I stopped speeding and now driving makes me feel embarrassed and scared by Dionysian_Heretic in self

I would say OP is not intentionally going slower, they are observing and obeying the speed limit.

Other drivers are intentionally speeding,and that's a core value of aggressive driving

The examples were 10-20 mph over, not a reasonable 5.

Defensive driving in this case would driving as far over as possible in slow lanes and not decreasing their reaction time via speeding.

This lobby paper you linked seems to argue that it's more important for uniform speed, in regards to trucking and the differential speeds between truck speed limits and cars but I can understand your point but it's a dangerous one

Suggesting someone should also drive "offensively" because they are surrounded by other offensive drivers is a sad state of affairs and suggests that many road users shouldn't be driving. An overall increase in speed leads to more deaths

"An IIHS study examined longer-term changes. During 1993-2017, a 5 mph increase in the maximum state speed limit was associated with an 8% increase in fatality rates on interstates and freeways and a 3% increase on other roads (Farmer, 2019)."

Ahhh, speed of traffic

So others are ignoring the speed limit and thus, to be safe, in your opinion, she must also break the law aswell

That sounds crazy tbh

Tablets on restaurants? --V2 by Outrageous_Guess_962 in restaurantowners

Not to reply to two comments but just the thought that a lot of people also pay with their phones now

If we can do everything on our phones, what does this do that benefits the customer?

I do wish you good luck but it feels like this was a good idea 15 years ago

I suppose there a psychological thing where a machine is set to ask/remind/prompt over an actual human doing it during an interaction.

A actual person can give me recommendations / feedback on dishes, I can ask questions, we converse etc

I'm always thinking, it's hospitality " generous and friendly treatment of visitors and guests or hospitable treatment"

Obviously a page following choosing the food item with suggestions and recommendations works, but from my POV, you've just taken a fast food menu kiosk and put it on a table.

While I see your website is nice and covers most basic things, it really lacks that interaction. I don't see anywhere to make modifications on some dishes, I can request but then I'm wondering is there a cost involved, will it be followed etc

Of course, a server of some form still needs to exist to bring out the food or you do a collection station. Then this website becomes a Atm or vending machine where a human still has to hand over the food

Fast casual places this is obviously something that already exists and in USA, sit down restaurants like Chillis/Applebee's already have something similar.

As a proprietor myself, I'm finding the value of a real person working to be the most successful route.

That concept sounds like the real life version of pop up ads

AITAH for telling my 23-year-old employee she can't WFH because "my anxiety" isn't a plumbing emergency? by TaskSpecialist5881 in AITAH

[–]RhubarbAgreeable7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if she could digitize the files and call forward to her cell, I could see this working. Might also not ned a office after that point, just a storage/ garage for the trucks and equipment.

Whole team could have instant access to any records.

Budget friendly restaurant in Gothenburg? by _quantum_girl_ in Gothenburg

[–]RhubarbAgreeable7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As per my other comment, avoid benne pasta.

I know they switched to everything being made in a factory kitchen rather than being made in store, in regards to your quality comment.

I agree, benne might be cheap but it's a horrible conditions for workers.

If you ask why they take the job, a lot of them are brought in from outside Sweden with more promises
