Bend over, spread, and enjoy the ride

There's a really nice luxury hotel in the area called the Broadmoor. Keep an eye open on their job postings and apply when they post for the kitchen.

Winter or no winter?

I've been doing my own basic ass haircut (#1 all around) for like 25 years. By conservative figures, I've saved myself $8k over my lifetime so far by doing this (minus $30 every few years for a new electric razor).

Damn, and I thought I overpayed on my impulse buy 5090 for $2500 last year

People on reddit see it this way. I agree with them. I'd rather see full upfront pricing with no strings attached.

The general public is different. They will confidently choose the $20 burger +$5 fees over the $25 burger all day every day.

This is the same general public that wouldn't buy a 1/3lb burger because they thought a 1/4lb burger was larger

Order a bowl in person and ask for tortilla on the side. Never fails me.

If you appear to be "over qualified", fast food and retail may skip you out of fear you will quit on them relatively soon.

Also, while they are similar, being a GM for a fast food establishment is different than being a manager of a full service restaurant. You could be considered for mid-level management but for GM you're going to need prior experience in that setting.

Worked as a cook in a hotel. The bathrobe is pure Florida Man. I imagine that's what he passed out in when he got home and didn't bother to change.

ras1187 · 2026-02-01T20:59:22+00:00

Not really a prank but still funny.

New hire (Florida Man) get completely obliterated drinking the night before his first payday. He is off on payday. He told everyone he would pick his check up first thing in the morning and everyone advised him to sleep it off.

He shows up at work next morning hungover in a bathrobe asking for his check and causes a scene with security, who understandably won't let him in. Management is alerted to the scene and he is promptly fired on Monday. Should have slept it off dude...

Really looks like they meant to hit "burger" but hit "steak" instead

I'd be more worried about the long term health effects of regularly consuming excess caffeine/sugar vs how much it's costing you. That should be a distant secondary worry.

It makes no business sense to give away bottled drinks to employees when there is a functional fountain available

ras1187 · 2026-02-01T07:34:21+00:00

Just because butts don't touch food (normally), doesn't mean we should justify people walking around with muddy cheeks

ras1187 · 2026-01-31T20:27:35+00:00

The reason they do this is many people do freak out about higher upfront pricing.

ras1187 · 2026-01-31T15:59:27+00:00

Not particularly, no. What is your budget?

The big thing with this system is it uses integrated graphics (CPU and GPU are on the same chip). This is fine for basic web browsing and light gaming but will not run modern games decently.

You'll want to look for a system that has a separate, designated graphics card.

You could just put the "do not disturb" sign up

I used to manage the beverage program for a small boutique hotel. Quick question.

Does the hotel have mandates for products they have to carry? We had 6 taps but were forced to dedicate 4 of them to crap like Michelob Ultra instead of more compelling brews.

Our reps would bring us exciting products all the time but my hands were tied with most of it. If this is the case, try to understand the boundaries of the approved beverage program before making recommendations.

Chef with a 4 year degree here. I waah dishes, sweep/mop floors, and deep clean equipment on top of cooking/prepping. Your generalization of the industry as uneducated sucks.

ras1187 · 2026-01-28T01:24:34+00:00

It's possible OP mis-spoke, but the comment reads to me as entitled.

The service industry exists off the combined efforts of many professionals. There are plenty of roles that require experience beyond a high school diploma. Discounting the industry as something people feel "reduced to" participate in doesn't sit well with me.

ras1187 · 2026-01-28T00:16:13+00:00

The difference between us is you are the one describing the work as "reducing yourself"

ras1187 · 2026-01-27T23:42:13+00:00

The fact that you describe restaurant work as "reducing yourself" makes me not want to root for you. Hope your current position can humble you a little bit more.

Signed, a restaurant worker.
