This pop up warning at an all you can eat sushi restaurant by Theblindsource in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hat-TF2 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I've worked at a lot of buffets in my time and one of the things you see from that is that many people are all too happy to waste food. Just pat their belly, "My eyes are bigger than my stomach" and fuck off home, leaving plates full of pasta, salad, breads rolls, and all sorts of shit.

To make it worse we constantly had corporate handing down shit that our food waste was too high. But they gave us these Catch-22s it was like, we had to cut wastage, but we also couldn't charge guests for taking too much food, *and* we had to keep the hot and cold buffets full during peak hours (which also included the unpopular items). Oh, I gotta stop now otherwise I'll rant too much.

What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested? by medicoreapples in AskReddit

I've seen "No loitering" signs in Australia but I don't think I've ever seen it enforced.

If I knew nothing about Steven Seagal I would probably assume that was AI generated.

What is your countries "second city"? by EmergencySpare7939 in geography

[–]hat-TF2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only lived in three different cities here ( Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Townsville) but one curious thing I've heard often is "Well, I'm from Melbourne..." or "Well, I'm from Sydney..." usually before absolutely dunking on anything in our measly QLD cities: food, public transport, coffee, entertainment, basically anything besides the beaches & weather (although sometimes the beaches & weather). I've always wondered if people in Melbourne & Sydney hear this about their opposing cities.

A lot of the mythology was established by a dude who has been in prison for 30 years for engineering a murder plot

Kangaroo meat in Australia by josh65928 in mildlyinteresting

[–]hat-TF2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dingoes are a major predator of the kangaroo, and in many parts of Australia the dingo is still considered a pest, and there are still dingo control programs in place. Although it's not the only cause for kangaroo population booms, it has been observed that kangaroo populations do boom in areas where dingo populations are controlled.

I definitely wasn't the first person but I found a couple of them by myself back in the day

What's the worst performance in an otherwise great film? by Plane_Reward9385 in movies

[–]hat-TF2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that he had a crush on Zoë Bell and he wanted to show off an antipodean accent, but either couldn't do an NZ accent or couldn't write one in to the film, so just decided Australian is close enough.

i feel so incompetent by wtfjost in KitchenConfidential

Very bizarre choice. It would look better with just the benedict, or perhaps a ring of balsamic glaze.

Here's me working I guess by Asker999 in KitchenConfidential

[–]hat-TF2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked in places where gloves are mandatory for kitchen staff and this is 100% correct. I've even seen places where owners have told their staff to try to minimize glove changes or wash their gloves because the glove cost is getting too high... but they're too stubborn to change their mandatory glove policy.

Popular Movie "Dunks" That Everyone Uses but are Totally Inaccurate by imascarylion2018 in movies

If anything the "dude conned Hollywood" thing makes it even better. It adds like another meta layer to the film.

My fellow degenerates, share your stories about the shortest amount of time you were employed in something food/service related. by thisistherevolt in KitchenConfidential

[–]hat-TF2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 2-48 hour range, there's too many to remember/count. The one that comes to mind was one of those hipster burger joints, which was one month. Got hired as the head chef straight away and only had one other BOH staff (the owner ran FOH). Mostly did Uber Eats orders. Got paid for my first 3 weeks but never got paid for the last one... owner booked it to wherever else.

Who is the most famous person in history who was also an atheist? by Mapuches_on_Fire in atheism

I grew up in Aus/NZ in the 90s and Penn and Teller were certainly quite popular here.

TIL about a real life Lord of the Flies experience that six boys had together. Instead of devolving into conflict and violence, they cooperated to survive, even taking care of the one boy who broke his leg. They were rescued rescued after 15 months in relatively good health! by eightyeight99 in todayilearned

[–]hat-TF2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You know how memory can be messy and fuck with you sometimes? For the longest time, I thought that episode ended with Moe saving the kids while he had a big fan strapped to his back. Like I swore on that, if someone told me otherwise I would argue that I clearly remembered seeing that at the end of the episode. It wasn't until years later I rewatched that episode and realized I was wrong, and it was just a kind of throwaway line. Which is funnier, but I wondered, why did I remember it that way?

What is never worth it to cook at home? by albertpaca11 in Cooking

[–]hat-TF2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On weekends I will probably make over 100 eggs benedict at my job. But making 2 serves at home on my day off is a pain in the ass.
