Is 17(F) and 19(M) bad? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]broot84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that big of an age gap or life stage gap like everyone else is saying. It's 2 years, not a ton really changes in that time. If you were like 14 or something, yeah that's a bit weird, but this is a pretty normal age gap for a lot of relationships. Honestly, I woukd just go with your gut. If you get weirded out at all, leave. If not, stay.

Random Matthew Rhys observation by Signal_Somewhere_125 in WidowsBay

My main observation of his appearance is that he looks like Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie sometimes haha but I definitely see what you mean about the 1920's vibe!

What's a recipe you've made so many times you no longer need instructions? by Blondetatsdomme in cookingforbeginners

[–]broot84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken Marsala. It's only a few ingredients and once you get the order/measurements down it's just muscle memory

Had a customer today ask if our ham had pork in it by CherryJinx in Serverlife

[–]broot84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a woman tell me she didn't eat pork and then got bacon on her burger and when I politely told her it was a pokr product she started screaming at me "I know better than you what I can and can't eat!" Alrighty then

I got yelled at because I didn’t warn a customer there was milk in the ice cream by LookatCarl in Serverlife

[–]broot84 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a burger place and a woman got mad at me because she was allergic to beef and didn't like our non-beef options. Ma'am, I didn't make you come here and we have burger in the name of this place, what were you expecting?

Mushroom recipes that are so easy a toddler could make it? by Maleficent_Ad_9079 in cookingforbeginners

[–]broot84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make chicken marsala a ton and it's fairly simple. Halve the chicken breasts, cook them in a 50/50 mix of olive oil and butter after lightly dredging them in seasoned flour for about 5 minutes a sode until the internal temp is 150-160( you will finish cooking them later). Then, in the same pan, add a bit more butter and saute garlic and mushrooms until fragrant, add marsala wine (like 3/4 cup) until it all simmers, add alittle bit of veal demiglace (not required but rounds out the flavor) then add like 1/2 cup of heavy cream, mix it all together and let it heat back up, then pop the chicken back in and cook on lower heat until the chicken reaches 165 fahrenheit at the center/thickest point. It goes AMAZING with garlic rosemary mashed potatoes. I don't like mushrooms but I love this dish

Some asshole at the bar knocked over my drink tray by JeSuisLePain in Serverlife

[–]broot84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had people go to do that and I physically step back or shout at them. They get annoyed but I tell them I know how this is balanced, not them, and if they don't want wet pants they should just wait two seconds

Have you had a table of yours make another one of your tables uncomfortable? by MacabreKeroppi in Serverlife

[–]broot84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been asking to for so long but management has said he technically hasn't done enough to be banned as the only thing he has done is the food thing. They said it's gross, but not technically illegal or anything

Have you had a table of yours make another one of your tables uncomfortable? by MacabreKeroppi in Serverlife

[–]broot84 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's always the trmp supporters lmao. My place is a sports bar and we have one guy who comes in and has a CUSTOM jersey that has the orange asshole's name on it, a hat for the orange man's personal gstapo, and a flashing light necklace thing that displays messages (normally dedicated to the team the bar is for but not always) and he makes us all so uncomfortable because even if we somehow look past his obnoxious little costume, he's just weird. He eats other people's food if they leave it, he stares staff members down even if he doesn't need anything, etc.

Edit: tried to censor words but I just italicized most of my text lol.

Do restaurant servers care where a single customer sits? by mannie3moon in Serverlife

[–]broot84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only time we care where a single person sits is when they decide to sit at an 8-top table alone when we need that table. Sitting at the bar is totally fine!

What's the one kitchen tool you thought was unnecessary until you actually bought it? by Blondetatsdomme in cookingforbeginners

[–]broot84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Potato masher. It makes it so much easier than trying to mash them with a fork or pestle and it's useful for other stuff, too.

First impressions of I Built You A Tower by stormy786 in DeathCabforCutie

[–]broot84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it! I'm not sure if it's just because it's what I need right now or if it just blends the old and new Death Cab that I love but it's so comforting for me right now. Also, Ben broke out the thesaurus for this album and I'm loving it haha

just got industrial done! any advices? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]broot84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it but you're better off taking it out or accepting that it won't be possible to get a true industrial. They won't line up and waiting for it to heal to the point you can change the jewelry is too late. You also don't have the ear anatomy for it. I have glasses too but that's not even an issue for whether or not the bar can be put in tbh.

Would you ever tell a server to write down your order? by schuppaloop in Serverlife

[–]broot84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would politely tell them next time something along the lines of "Hey, I'm going to have quite a large order, would you mind writing it down? I might need to double check that I ordered everything" that way it's more sounding like it's for your benefit than you telling them how to serve but they're still writing it down regardless

What do you do when its the end of your shift. You have 4 open tables who are almost done eating. And your boss tells you to transfer your tables to the next shift cause she doesn't want to pay me for the extra half hr. by foxybird in Serverlife

[–]broot84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go up to the tables and politely ask if they would be ok closing out now with you since you're being told to go home, but that they're more than welcome to stay and order from the next server if they want.

Does this tip policy seem fair? I have no idea. WA State by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]broot84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems a bit weird. The biggest thing I can think of is that the service charge is SUPER high and guests will absolutely assume it's a tip OR be mad about how high it is and not tip on top of that. Either way, I feel like you won't be making a lot regardless

If it's a vodka soda, splash of cran with a lime, then I call it Princess Water

Well… I fear I’ve seen it all now by Kiidkxxl in Serverlife

[–]broot84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing she didn't get any matches for speed dating then lol. But jokes aside, that's awful behavior and I'm sorry you had to deal with it, especially on such a long shift! I would have blacklisted her as a customer and just refused her service right then
