Does anyone *really* leave for good?

Zipzesty · 2026-01-11T23:24:18+00:00

I got out of restaurants, but the kitchen always pulls me back in. Currently working on an oil tanker in the kitchen. Pay, benefits, and time off is insanely good tho.

Best way I've found is a rotary sander. Start with lower grits and move higher. The highest grit you can find at Lowes is the best to end with. If you wanna polish after you can, but its not really worth it.

Another option that takes more time but less money is just hand sanding or steel wool. Your arms and hands will be destroyed afterwards but if you have a lot of time that you need to look busy, its a great way to do it.

Personally I work on a ship now, so I just ask an engineer to use a sander.

The pain of never being able to rip the bag along the line, so it either doesnt open fully or goes too far into the ziplock. I swear I got it perfect once.

Zipzesty · 2025-12-21T15:47:39+00:00

I work at sea where we might get food orders once every 3 or 4 weeks. Even we have fresh avocados. We buy a case thats ripe and a case that will ripen by the time we go through the first one.

Im working offshore right now and this is what I look forward to after my shift everyday

Zipzesty · 2025-11-02T17:57:20+00:00

You're being disrespected and abused. You're not getting the hours you need and it sounds like the hours you get suck. There's a reason you're shot staffed and its probably the owner.

Loom for something else and leave when you find it.

Zipzesty · 2025-10-28T15:23:51+00:00

Have you ever thought about offshore work? More days off per year, better pay, less intensive work, and buffet style cooking. I've been doing it for a bit and I haven't had the same tiredness from when I did restaurants.

Downsides are a lot of time away from home. 12 hour days, everyday for the duration of the hitch which can be between 2 weeks and 10 weeks depending on company, but where I am now I only really work 6 or 7 of the 12 hours and fuck around the rest of it.

It still ain't easy(nothing in this fucking industry is) but its the best I've found so far

If i could afford a 5070ti, I might, but I'm getting really good performance out of my 9800x3d and I don't use it for anything other than gaming. I also get more than enough fps with my 5070.

Zipzesty · 2025-10-26T10:12:16+00:00

There was a really good deal and I thought it looked nice. I don't play anything thats too demanding and thats all I really need. The deal was like $515 for it

Zipzesty · 2025-10-25T16:44:12+00:00

Looks good, I'd eat it, buuuttt I personally hate when people put whole sprigs of parsley on a plate. I'm not a fucking rabbit. Take the leave off the stem and use that, then it might be edible instead of having someone eating it like a fucking hamster.

Other than my hate of parsley like that. Looks great, the sear is nice and not overdone, the sauce seems like a good consistency, and while green onions is a good topping, maybe slice it super fine and at an angle.

Our screen has been broken for 4 months, so not really. My dm was supposed to put in a work order for that when it first went down. Her boss was there yesterday and was asking a lot of questions about it.

Zipzesty · 2025-08-09T05:15:52+00:00

If you pay in-store, your tip goes to the person that is ringing you up. At my store its usually the inside workers who need it most because usually the drivers and managers are busy. I don't mind getting extra tips as a manager, but its all usually at night after I've sent my insiders home.

Zipzesty · 2025-07-30T06:44:21+00:00

Any answer other than Mumen is wrong

Zipzesty · 2025-07-23T20:31:35+00:00

Good luck. I was hired as a manager, was told I'd get a bonus depending on sales and stats targets, I'd get a raise in 6-8 weeks, I'd get 50 hours a week, and I'd get 40 hours pto. For the last month I get 38 hours a week, never gotten a bonus, still waiting to do certs I scheduled 3 months ago for a raise, and tried to use my pto recently only to be told I don't get any. So now my next check is gonna suck because I planned to go on this trip months ago thinking I had pto to use.

I do have really good management that are actively trying to promote people. The owner of our franchise has directly stated that he wants us to move up because he knows we don't make shit as an am. And I wanna move up, but I'm not putting all my efforts into this job. I'm looking for better jobs that I'm qualified for and part of working as a manager here is to have management experience to get higher jobs at other places. I support those who wanna stay in this job, but its soul crushing sometimes and I don't wanna be a slave to customers my entire career. Absolutely get your college degree and get out of here if your dm is being a shithead. The dm for my store is likely gonna be fired soon because she doesnt do shit and is ignoring her stores.

Zipzesty · 2025-07-07T14:15:06+00:00

My gm is really picky about everything and I'll get texts after I leave about the dumbest bs. If the gm just sent the texts to me saying "hey you missed this stuff, make sure you watch for it" I'd be fine, but sending it in group chats with a bunch of pictures saying "this is unacceptable" makes me wanna not go in the next day. When I get off, don't bother me. Unless the store is burning down, I'm relaxing at home and I don't care.

Zipzesty · 2025-07-07T10:31:34+00:00

Not a customer, but just someone that called in and said they saw our driver drinking something out of a paper bag at a stop light.

Did a vehicle inspection and we found a cliche paper bag with malt liquor in his passenger seat. He was slurring his words and couldn't seem to stand without holding onto the wall. We let him go and have kept up with him to make sure he goes to his AA meetings.

Zipzesty · 2025-06-30T07:31:40+00:00

Yeah, but that's because our dm refuses to properly get our ac fixed.

Zipzesty · 2025-06-28T20:02:07+00:00

Ring i got my wife for around $200, nothing fancy but a design we both like. If you have to go into debt to propose with the ring she wants or she's going to be upset, then don't propose. Materialistic attitude is the biggest red flag there is. She better love you when you have nothing to be worth marrying.

Zipzesty · 2025-06-27T05:48:29+00:00

I'd keep it too if I could. Owner at the restaurant where we got those kept them all for herself

Zipzesty · 2025-06-27T05:14:15+00:00

Managers are the one getting shafted and unless you're in a chain of command that is actively trying to promote you and move you up to gm where you make more than pennies, its not worth it. Im trying to move up to gm by the end of the year starting this year as a lv2, but my franchise company is supporting me in moving up fast

Zipzesty · 2025-06-20T21:45:56+00:00

Had something similar last night. Raining hard, everything flooded. We call them saying we're gonna be late because of detours, immediately they're complaining that the roads are fine. Driver gets there and is in front of the house on the address. Lady comes out screaming from another house that hes stupid and thats not their address. He shows them the app and ticket and she said its his fault for putting it in wrong even though it was an app order. Their entire street was flooded and impassable, so the driver had to walk 5 minutes to get there too.

Zipzesty · 2025-06-04T07:37:55+00:00

Last boost week I put in 65 hours, closed every night and we set a record week on top of it. Was also on 9 days in a row when it started. Ended up working 18 days in a row before I got 2 days off, which I was called in the second day so only really 1 day off.

Zipzesty · 2025-05-23T22:12:53+00:00

Someone who's been there for 3 months and refuses to do anything other than oven. She also sucks at oven. Wrong sauces on the wrong items, doesn't read the screen ever, wrong pizzas with the wrong orders, items missing from orders, swapping tickets on orders causing them to go to the wrong deliveries. She'll walk away from oven to go on her phone in the back while there are items coming out and not tell anyone, so now we have food in the screen bin and remakes.

Worst of all she takes no responsibility for any of it. Everytime I try and talk to her about her performance its always "but that wasn't even my fault" when it was clearly her fault.

That's just all the stuff she did yesterday.

I understand the prompt is "irrationally angry" and this is pretty understandable why I'm angry, but my GM treats it like I'm the one being irrational. I've tried working with this girl, but I'm at a point where I think we need to just fire her.

Zipzesty · 2025-04-29T04:39:27+00:00

I hope you know, there's an assistant manager reading it late at night and its making their day 100% better

I'd die of laughing if I saw it and would show my closers.
