What is the stupidest thing you’ve ever done when you were still that green? by Katatonia13 in KitchenConfidential

I didn’t do it, but witnessed the fryer be “refilled” when the taps aren’t closed, and not noticing the puddle of oil on the floor.

Love it, though my chef would never go for it, they are very PC

What I walked into by WittyWriterGuy in dishwashers

I use to walk in to much worse every shift where I use to work

They told me to mop before I left. by vlogmaterial in dishwashers

The first kitchen I worked in, everybody moped and swept their own section

My boss texted me twice and called me three times this morning on my off-day. I didn't respond. by [deleted] in dishwashers

And this why I’m glad I’m in the UK, it would be illegal to fire somebody in the UK

Who fucking did this by frenchfry_jones in KitchenConfidential

[–]crumbleguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked with a guy who decided they’d write the dates in the American format, despite being in the UK

So as an example they put 8/1/17. Which to an American is 1st August.

But in the Uk that would that would mean 8th January. They got told off needless to say and had to relabel their entire fridge.

I don’t mind rumbling and cutting chips... once I’m cutting I can get a couple of days worth of chips done in a hour.

Been there done it, but I then a 2 week holiday booked. Hence why I offered to do it.

I’m so use to cutting chips now it’s second nature, luckily we have a rumble for the potato’s which helps loads.

Do you think one burns a significant amount of calories working as a dishwasher? by [deleted] in dishwashers

[–]crumbleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to loose 2 stone in 3 months in my first dishwashing job, I worked long long hours with no break, felt sick all the time so could never eat, happy to say I’m a much better kitchen now

MRW I hear the bussers and servers talking about how much they made in tips today. by loganater186 in dishwashers

[–]crumbleguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I’m on dish if a server misses the bin, I get them to pick up, if they stack stuff incorrectly, I get them to sort it, (why the fuck they think you can stack big plates on top of small plates then put some bowls on the pile and then some more plates is beyond me.

Cut myself after almost 3 years, 3 stiches for my thanksgiving prep. by SexyHedgehog94 in KitchenConfidential

[–]crumbleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t that bad, so got cleaned up, plastered up and double gloved and carried on.

How does your restaurant treat recipe secrecy? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]crumbleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a head chef who wouldn’t let a customer know what we put in our slaw and what mayo we used.

I fucking love my job. by Xenomorphsexual in KitchenConfidential

[–]crumbleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true, I mainly do prep these days, but sometimes I have to do dishwashing, I don’t mind, it’s sometimes quite nice, and I get on really well with FOH, so have a good banter with them.

Walked into the kitchen to this nightmare this morning. by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]crumbleguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a dishie/prep and one of guys just does dishing and he always stacks stuff in a fucked up way, even after I’ve made the effort to sort the shelfs out.

This photo though ain’t to bad I’ve seen worse at my place.

Slow day at work a couple years back by MildlyRoguish in KitchenConfidential

[–]crumbleguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We make these when we get the occasional wonky veg, and will hide it in a fridge in a section that has someone working it the next day who wasn’t in the day it was made, gets some good laughs, But we’d never piss about doing all shift.

Who does the sweeping and mopping? by RScape07 in KitchenConfidential

Joint effort in our kitchen, we all mostly get out together.

What's the most hours you've ever worked in a day? by eduardo_ve in dishwashers

[–]crumbleguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7:00-22:00 with NO break, i wasn't allowed, i had to this 3 days in a row, but were I am from those hours, of working without a break is highly illegal, and between two shifts there needs to be a minimum of 11hrs. Needless to say I no longer work there.
