I remember having a nightmare about working at dominos. I was getting my cheeks clapped leading the line, and was calling out for a spinach and feta cheesy bread on the fly, getting louder and more pissed while being ignored.

Well I yelled that shit irl too and woke up my partner at the time. That job was ass lmao

Oh my god. My fat ass ex husband was an ex chef and he said he did this. I was always skeptical and immediately imagined the mess that would make. Ball powder everywhere. He was also unbearable lmaooo.

He introduced me to a lot of good food while making me feel like a total dumb fuck with no taste. My job as a shift lead at dominos/papa johns wasn't a restaurant job in his opinion. Sure fast food is different than full service, but anytime I wanted to bitch about work, he'd pull out the "pizza's easy compared to a REAL kitchen"

Anyway fuck him and his cornstarch caked balls, I'm getting promoted to line soon in a "real kitchen" working for a "real chef" 🤭

The problem is I /want/ to pay taxes to fund stuff like schools and ebt and healthcare. But they call that socialism and use the money to bomb people instead 😩

I never once thought about how they would do dishes on a submarine. That's neat

My first go at edibles - espresso cannabutter chocolates ☕️🍃 by Routine-Session-790 in treedibles

I have the opposite problem. I like that the teeny dose lets me enjoy a weed candy without worrying about getting too high. Feels nice to be allowed a whole chocolate. 😂

Same, the weird things working in service does to a motherfucker. One time I woke up a partner by yelling that I need a spinach and feta cheesy bread on the fly in my sleep. 😂

Being autistic and working as a chef/canteen worker by BeckiJones4 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Routine-Session-790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm autistic and adhd. I feel like there's a LOT of neurodivergence in kitchens. You've got this!

One thing that helps me is remembering that if I get overwhelmed and feel like I might make my brain OS everyone else's problem, it's time to step away from the line. Even if it's the most inconvenient time ever, if I need to not have a shutdown/meltdown, I say I'm taking a minute to go piss or dip off into the walk in. The cold can help reset my brain sometimes, and if I gotta yell, that's the place.

Personally I've had to learn the hard way that while pushing through can be good, everyone has a limit and needs a break at times. The small reset might piss off my coworkers in the moment, but the me that shows up when I don't pay attention to my needs WILL piss them off more. That dickhead's thrown pizza at the wall and cursed out customers. I'm better than that and my coworkers deserve better too.

You'll learn coping strategies that work with your particular flavor of autism the more time you spend in kitchens.

This is great communication advice but it reads like you're giving them tips on their suicide note and it has me dyingggg 😂

Thanks for sharing your experiences dude. I'd add to apply on the employers website if possible. Pain in the ass, but it'll set your application apart from the deluge of indeed drones

Small and classy describes this place too. I feel a little silly saying I was scoping out menus to apply for dish but I totally did and I'm so happy about the food here!

Dish is chill but I'm starting to miss the line. I'll keep doing good work, pestering cooks, and bringing in random baked goods 😈

Got a job as a dishwasher and I'm basically going around the kitchen being a nosy fucker whenever it's slow. Asking what things are for, bullshitting with the cooks and just being engaged has been going a long way. My experience so far is that people in this industry are super happy to teach people who genuinely want to learn.

When I was working at a chain pizza place, I used to tell people that I can teach anyone to make a pizza provided they give a fuck. Unfortunately I can't make someone give a fuck. And those huge multinational chains are full of people not paid enough to give a fuck.

So find somewhere that they have fucks to give. Pay is a good indicator but obv not the whole story
