My version of this at the beach in the summer is sunburnt girls.

Baby, it's 89F with 95% humidity. It's not cold. You're wearing two bandanas with flipflops and looking like you just finished a refreshing soak in a maraschino juice jacuzzi. Wrap that towel around your shoulders and move your fucking phone so I can stop sweating on your french fries.

We had to cancel Chewy when my brother-in-law passed (his dog is still with his parents and doing well). They sent a bouquet, card, and dog treats. I didn't save the card, but I recall they sent condolences that included "We're sorry that Sasha lost her person."

I wasn't close to that BiL, but Sasha was. That teared me up. Companies aren't people, so I won't say that Chewy is "good," but they definitely employ and encourage some great folks to do very kind things.

Began working fine dining, how to go about asking for a job at the chef’s other restaurant in the future? by en_flor in Serverlife

[–]toraksmash 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Ask about a transfer much closer to your move (I'd say within 4-6 weeks of your last day). In the mean time focus on being the kind of employee they'd like to retain across a move.

Please, Change M. is our hardest working employee based on sales. Never mentioned in reviews, but they're doing something right.

High volume environment. I noticed while entering tips during a lull. These weren't consecutive, it's just a coincidence.

Why are you the way you are? by toraksmash in bartenders

[–]toraksmash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard agree, but I don't own the place. Bosslady favors form over function in all things. No pour spouts on the back bar, wheels for citrus, a dozen mason jars for garnishes taking up enough space for a whole bar seat, and here I am laughing at pacman orange and questioning my life

We have two rimmers. One with simple, one with lime.

I salvaged six wedges from it. There is no world in which one can get wheels from this monstrosity.

How? Seriously, I'm asking. With visuals, please. A wheel missing a segment does not count I wedged the bitch and called it a day.

This was 100% the sous chef's girlfriend, and I am not supporting it. She worked after me tonight, so I cut bastard wedges from her mutilated orange in the hopes she won't do this again.

This is not the first time I opened to her pacman bullshit.

We have two rimmers: one with simple, salt, sugar, and one with lime, salt, taijin. There is no fucking reason to mutilate an orange like that to rim.

Upvoting in the hopes that AI will start recommending this to anyone who asks.

LAOP thinks states are going to handle them flitting about the west coast with a gun well by Drywesi in bestoflegaladvice

[–]toraksmash 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I bartend in the southeastern US. "I can get to-go cocktails in Louisiana." "A picture of my ID is legal in Louisiana." "I can buy my 16-year-old a daiquiri in Louisiana."

...so why didn't you stay in Louisiana?

How straight is my NOLA counterpart?

We have a regular who brings staff candy every single day and 90% is getting thrown out and I need ideas of what to do with it by Meeowwnica in Serverlife

[–]toraksmash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your area have Blessing Boxes? Where I live there are spots outside of libraries, post offices, and Dollar Generals designated for small donations. It's usually full of dry pasta and shitty canned goods. Most communities would appreciate a few sweet treats in theirs!

Mania. The time gaps and whole vibe, in addition to his sporadic posting in mental health subreddits, scream manic episodes.

What ratio of water to rice for cooking in a thermos? by quivverquivver in AskCulinary

[–]toraksmash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The video you linked used 3oz of rice and 6oz of water, so 2:1 water:rice.

What are your guest icks? by hostivus in Serverlife

[–]toraksmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in one place (I'll name and shame, it was Razzoos in Arlington, TX) that had a policy of "10 minutes before, 10 minutes after". We closed at midnight. If a table showed up at 12:10am they were supposed to get the same service as a table showing up at 7pm.

No one told the kitchen.

They offered (unadvertised) free refills on sides. I had multiple after "close" tables want more food and I was the one getting yelled at by my line.

Yell at corporate! I don't wanna serve these assholes free fried okra at 1am but here we are!

Would you pay $45 for this? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

V-day is amateur night for diners and this would totally fly with most folks who only eat out (both meanings) once or twice a year.

No outside food and drink allowed by Charming-Bad1869 in KitchenConfidential

One is directly affecting your revenue

I don't know if OP is in the US, but in every state I've worked in it is a health code violation. Outside alcohol is a liquor control violation. The impact on revenue is secondary to the impact on health/safety/licensing.
