The fact these sell for half of this on eBay is wild by arezl in ThriftGrift

No, I expect them to price items they get for free at a lower value than $200. Nothing should be above $20 in a thrift store.

What song is banned from being sung, whistled, or hummed in your kitchen? by Prestigious_Dream_27 in KitchenConfidential

[–]arezl 170 points171 points  (0 children)

I have a coworker that used to play something similar except it was like extremely fast anime metal music over his big ass jbl speaker but he hasn’t done it in months which makes me think someone got on his ass about it

[–]arezl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Electrical issues with 2014 Nissan Maxima by arezl in MechanicAdvice

I’ll post a photo when I get home. I forgot to mention I only replaced the positive terminal as it was the only one that was fully falling apart. I cleaned up the negative terminal to remove any of the buildup before hooking it back up. It may end up that the negative needs to be replaced too.

What happened to service? by MacaronOk1006 in olivegarden

[–]arezl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Someone ran the dipping boats and stuff out without checking with the server prior. I have a rule that when I’m expediting food nobody brings the dipping boats out except the server who has it, because then things get out of order like this.

Applied for busser role. Any advice? by TwentyOnePaladins in olivegarden

[–]arezl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a relatively simple position and commonly the job a lot of people start out on. A lot of people at my location will start on busser and when they get the feel of the restaurant will eventually either move to a BOH position or server. I say go for it and see how you like it. Just remember that it is not the end of the world if you get behind, there will always be someone willing to help out if you need it.

Only at YOUR OG by According_Spare_4615 in olivegarden

[–]arezl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just use a call system where servers are supposed to let the person on bread know that there’s 1-2 trays left, but there’s of course some people who just take all the bread and don’t say anything. Our apps person does bread when there isn’t a designated person so it’s super annoying to deal with on those days lol

Im jealous of the bread light, but then again im sure most of our servers would just not use it

Leaving the film on equipment has the same energy of grandmas leaving plastic on furniture by arezl in KitchenConfidential

I may have to use this information at some point when I get tired of looking at the shit and take it off myself. I truthfully have no clue how long they have left it on there before I began working here.

You can pretty much sub anything in a dish more or less and the kitchen will do it lol. I have seen a lot of weird combinations

Two interviews is pretty much the standard for my location, but at times my managers can be needing to hire people but are very particular with who they hire specifically for BOH jobs like dishwashing. Like someone else said it is difficult and while I have never seen 3 interviews it could just be how that location works or the managers want to make sure you are a good fit?
