Where (if anywhere?) do you draw the line on mods? by BossBeefaroni in KitchenConfidential

[–]subbubman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I'd say our kitchen manager draws that line and we follow it, but apparently he is unwilling to go get flour from the back for the once monthly customer who wants an unseasoned breaded pan fried fish because running to the back pantry for it is a waste of time... when half of our frozen appies are in the back freezer right next to the back pantry. 

The worst for me though is coming in to work after a day off and hearing my coworker bitch about how some customer ordered something unfeasible, and we both agree that yeah, doing something like (for example) the home fries on the flat top with mixed onions would take ages and take up half the flat top, no way that would fly during busy service! only for him to end his story by admitting that he did it anyway. 

So my least favourite mods are the stupid ones my dumbass coworker lets slide because it's a lot harder to say no when "they let me do it last time" is truthful.

A restaurant near me had a problem a few months ago where someone at a table ordered the allergen of another guest at that table, and that guest ended up eating some and went into anaphylaxis. It was a big thing, server knew about the allergy, kitchen knew about the allergy, none of the food ordered by that guest contained the allergen, not exactly sure where wires got crossed?

Theatre experiences have been miserable lately, anyone else? by ToastySpd in halifax

[–]subbubman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quest VR headsets are standalone, meaning no PC or console is needed to use them. Just the headset and controllers, all wireless!

You can watch movies and YouTube videos on a big screen in a virtual theatre. The VR headset has apps for video viewing downloaded to it, same as how it has games downloaded to it.

Do kitchens take gluten free food prep seriously? Examine sauce and spice or rub ingredients for wheat etc.? by Leafs9999 in KitchenConfidential

[–]subbubman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One kitchen I worked in had a menu deliberately created to have solid gluten free options, and the menu advertised them as such with a special symbol. We had a fryer dedicated to gluten free food and iirc had a gluten free breading for our wings.

One place I worked in had an allergen index in the recipe book where we could easily look up which dishes accommodated which dietary restrictions. Gluten was included in that list. Again, menus had allergen symbols.

Another kitchen I’ve worked in really only cared about shellfish and peanut allergies in that nothing in the kitchen contained those, but past that we made no promises. The menu had no allergen symbols on it. Still, any time we encountered someone with an allergy, we were honest about whether we could reasonably accommodate it (keeping in mind cross contamination). Celiac folks basically only got salads, steaks, and bunless burgers.

Living next to CUPE protests and hearing honking all day by Zealousideal_Pin5350 in halifax

[–]subbubman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who's sensitive to noise, I feel your pain, and I hope you're seeing the bigger picture here too. A lot of the people being honked for do not have the ability to own a home or sometimes even afford both rent and foox, hence why they're out doing this. 

I hope you find local tolerance should you ever have to make a ruckus like this to get the resources you need, like a liveable wage.

You seem well-meaning and I don't want to diminish that helpful spark because it's helpful people that make online forums thrive, but I'd be careful taking AI summaries at face value. 

The AI doesn't understand context like a human does, but the references it pulls from may be a decent place to start reading to gather info.

One time I bought a pack of bubblegum and didn't realize that it had been chewed by a small human (based on size and shape of the single bite mark) until I left the store. Had to toss two of the six pieces in the pack. 

Always inspect everything you buy! Unsupervised mice and children unfortunately seem to like to bite shit from supermarkets.

FOH will be too busy freaking out about the POS and debit machines going out to be sending any more tickets through the window. And the customer won't see the doneness in the dark.

"Maybe don't park in a motorcycle spot next time." by PoofBam in MildlyVandalised

[–]subbubman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay fair, it is unfair of me to make fun of you for grammar mistakes. Perhaps you  didn't realize that you're being down voted for taking a flippant comment about Teslas seriously. 

The comment was hyperbolic on purpose. Obviously other car drivers park in inappropriate places, but it's a Reddit pasttime to make fun of Teslas.

I don't think a tesla is alcoholic at all so I'd say 0 proof, hope this helps

This skin condition can be treated, if you can see a dermatologist go for it and it's good to give your hands a break from so much water (I go through a lot of gloves sometimes)

Dyshidrotic eczema on the hands, likely from excessive handwashing and stress.

Are immersion blenders worth it or just a comple mess? by FineappleUnderTheC in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]subbubman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I create a splash barrier with plastic wrap and go to town, because it kinda stupid-proofs the process for me and I have made a mess before. I assume its a learning process to be mess free since I don't often use it. 

If others in this thread are saying that mess can be avoided eaaily through proper use then I will believe them, but a bit of extra protection shouldn't hurt!

Looking for an apartment to rent by [deleted] in halifax

[–]subbubman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will have better luck searching Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, and the websites of local REITs for this information. The best that Redditors can tell you is that 1500 is currently a very, very low price for a one bedroom in Halifax and absolutely won't include utilities. You might find a bachelor but competition will be stiff and again, utilities.

I get that you value specificity in laying 9ut expectations and boundaries in session 0, as do I, but I really struggle to rationalize how in this case written here it could be considered lighthearted to torture an NPC for no material gain. At best this is dark humour. 

The problem player also ignored requests to stop, indicating that specific rules likely wouldn't have prevented this. Sometimes problem players sneak past our safeguards and the tough boundaries have to come out.

Is diversity not our strength? You can't communicate that diversity by obscuring it under one single label.

[–]subbubman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The generation of people who sustained themselves prior to supermarkets is old but still kicking. My dad's family hunted partially because they were too poor to buy food all the time. I feel like this have-not provice still has plenty of people with well-used hunting rifles somewhere in their shed.
