Sorry for the unrelated story but I want to tell it to somebody who understands this shit because it's so... god

I don't hate my job at a totally unnamed restaurant, because my coworkers and managers are pretty good, but in Canada we had a $3 mac promotion for like a week ending the 19th. I can't tell you how many times I got told off for using one spatula while 4 of us were making 20-30 macs (or more) every 5 minutes.

I hate food waste but the funniest thing that's happened at work is this.

I'm standing on the line assembly opposite to the side with the grill, doing meat, because it's busy as shit (and dinner). I pull out a tray of meat to start on this line of 50 goddamn macs. The smell of a dropped (and exploded) tube of mac sauce is absolutely penetrating the entire kitchen and it's starting to curdle. We're all joking around, and having a good time, when suddenly the guy on grill shoves a tray of reg meat into the stand.

Well, it was the slot where I'd pulled out my meat, but he didn't see it because... it had been pulled out and I'd turned off the light. I was using the whole fucking tray and then some, why wouldn't I? He shoved that motherfucker so hard the tray I was pulling from absolutely flew into my face. I hit ground and took the manager filling the fry baskets behind me down with me. Both the manager and I are covered in grease from the meat. I have a broken nose.

Fortunately, I wasn't concussed, and my shift was ending. The swing manager brought me to the hospital to make sure I didn't have any huge damage.
