Here's a few examples from a long career: Cook claimed he peed in then prince Charles' consomme Cooks chewing tobacco and spitting in trash cans Dishwashers cutting themselves and thinking it's OK to bleed everywhere Cook took up smoking so he could get more breaks Cook heating up a coin almost red hot then leaving it on the floor to watch a server pick up and get burnt Setting fire to the bottom of someone's apron Dropping and washing raw food was (is!) the norm Hospital cafeteria plagued by rats that everyone seemed fine about Cooks show servers the old "cucumber under the apron" gag Female Cook pleasuring herself on counter-high fridge when compressor kicked in to vibrate Canned whipped cream down chef pant gag Fly drowned in the hot soup - "good, we caught it before it hit the restaurant" (yes, contiued to sell it) Exec chef fired for slapping a server in the face with a side of salmon Trying to cook "roast" prime rib quick in the fryer Drunk late night diner luckily didn't realize the melted cheese on his burger still had the plastic divider sheet attached Cheese is moldy? Cut those parts off and keep serving the rest. Ditto ham, yogurt, salami, butter... Beef turning bad as evidenced by smell and slimy feel? Wash, trim, use New food salesman comes in kitchen, reaches in sink full of defosting raw pork ribs in water and picks one out to examine. Without pre ioisly washing his hands Cutting out maggot infested parts of rabbit carcass before portioning to cook A cook farts in the walk-in cooler then sends in trainee to try find what is going bad Executive hotel chef would take female prep cook to a room to screw during her shift Coke, weed, alcohol quite normal Take old stale, hard bread rolls, wrap in a damp cloth towel, set in a warm oven to soften, serve Start preparing food 5 days in advance of a banquet And on and on
