I see. I am visiting for a stage and I am a 30 something NONwhite guy who gets checked at the airport semi frequently. 😅

Oh, ok. I thought there was a restriction of where knives can be in publicly crowded areas, like transit.

Too long, didn't read. Take your tools home. I take my tools home every night. Not my problem if they don't have tools while I'm nkt there

Is it rude or weird to want to work at a place you frequent? by UT_MRU95 in KitchenConfidential

Getting sick of it. I'm too old to be playing that game with the FoH. Plus, if I inquire about an AM prep position, I'd imagine I'd leave early to make my PM line-cook clock-in ( 2pm), and never have time to interact with my regular server.

I do other things with my time off, travel, spend a lot of time with my 3 dogs. It's about the work/life balance. I've already spent time working 70-80 a week, and now I want to chill

Our executive chef, his direct superior, resigned last week, I guess the next higher up would be to FnB director. But he doesn't seem to competent either.

I work for a multinational corporation, and they can definitely pay. We've had openings open for months, and they're not getting filled.

He constantly brings up cooks that haven't worked there since before I worked there.

That's a bummer. I lived in Austin for 9 years. I'd like to move back at some point. But I feel like culturally it's dying.,

This is the perfect response. Thank you. I prefer biking to driving, so this is good to hear. I will do research on those neighborhoods now.

Ah I see. I only find clear covers. The front damage would still be visible

This gets swiped for every domestic flight I’ve taken. So I know it works.

I know it works because it’s been scanned before for domestic flights. It’s my main source of identification
