ITT job related stories
Post your dumbest face palming greentext stories

Today i went into work early and cleaned the deep fryer.

I only have one real story from food-related job
> be working as bar attendant / glass washer / shit kicker at best restaurant in town (shitty beachside country town, but good restaurant)
> being paid cash so no legitimacy to the job
> chef notices i am working a fair few hours that night
> offers me a full steak dinner that someone else sent back to kitchen recently
> shows me how to fry some chips, and where the hollandaise sauce is
> have an a grade dinner for nothing

I just tried to hit the facebook like button on this

That's an incredibly depressing story.

thanks

I found it cute

>work at Weatherspoons
>old woman comes to the bar to complain that she we gave her the wrong food

>"Sorry for the mix up what was it you wanted"
>"I ordered this"

Fucking 'spoons customers

>Help me for I am retarded"

Eating alone. During lunch rush hour.
Entire groups walk in and leave because they are to autistic to ask to sit with me before i go back to. Work.

Feels good. And a fuck you to the staff that bitches and moans i leave no tip for you because i know you were crying. Not my fault 9 to 5ers can't ever leave earlier than 12

Calm down my dude. Life's too short to be an asshole.

Waffle house is so overly common here in GA it's like another McDs.

He still doesn't get it. It's like that scene from idiocracy with the iq test, but far worse.
>new guy, go help in the dish pit. they look bogged down.
hide in my office in shame

Sounds like me

you should've fired him on the spot
you should not work in kitchens

I make bank at this job dumbass. Unless you want me to take your job? Oh wait, you don't have one cuz you're still living in your momma's basement

Anyone as lazy and entitled as you should be fired

>use to work at chipotle
>lady comes in and asks for a quesadilla with no cheese
>she was serious

Funny that you call me lazy when I work harder than any of my coworkers and I'm head cook cuz I worked my way up really makes you think. Entitled? Maybe, but I earned it bitch

>Work at bakery years ago.
>Working with fat aging rockabilly chick
>Shes making sandwiches and I'm taking orders and dealing with customers.
>Coughing all over the food and making shitty sandwiches.
>Customers start giving me the evil eye. So I yell at her and tell her to leave.
>Runs to that back crying and causing a scene.
> Deal with making sandwiches alone and the customers that think I'm a monster.

Never did work with her again. The owners wife bitched at me the next day. Shes was a bitchy mormon anyways.

Your hate the people who are paying you you hate your coworkers it's making you miserable and you are doing it for the money. Out of curiosity how much do you make? Is it really worth a few extra $?

when i worked at maccas i used to clean the grill with coke

I hate everyone no matter where I work. So yeah its worth it when I'm in charge and they respect me. If they don't I get them fired. They do enough stupid shit to be fired anyway I just help take out the trash.

They don't respect you they hate you

Maybe it would matter if I actually cared

>claims to make bank working as a cook in a nursing home
>deludes himself to thinking anyone not taking his shit must be a NEET

Sweetheart stop lying to yourself and fucking quit that shit.

I can agree with the cook user. I get what he means.

Let me put this into perspective for you:
Imagine every day you work for someone, sure the money is awesome but you hate it. This user likely makes around 12+ an hour. Do you know how hard it is to find a job where you make OVER 7/h? I have been looking. The only places that will pay you over 7 are places that fucking suck and the management doesn't fucking care how they treat you. Walmart, Sams, Costco... That's why factory jobs are so high looking for people and firing. I have a feeling that these people don't ever get fired vs quitting.

You're right my dude. Shit sucks but still better than Walmart or shit like that

Managers are the worst. Especially the type that have no feelings behind shit. Acting like all you do is for them and nothing you want fuckin matters. Specially the ones that think that this job is ALL they have so they treat it like it's the most hardcore shit possible. Annoying as shit

Food is all about how fast you can push the food out. If you can't handle it, run like a bitch user. I'm looking for a slower pace job that can keep up with myself.

lmao what a loser

Literally managing one at this exact moment nigger

i can tell you've never left whatever shitty county you live in.
are your mom and your sister the same person?

I live in America. there's nothing wrong with Waffle House. Once in a while of course, you get a shitty customer but hell everyone gets them.

What's your damage user?

Speaking of Waffle House, I recall an old story:
>3 years ago
>Working as the door corp [fancy name for the bus boy/door greeter]
>1PM rolls around, getting out at 2
>begin my side work
>sweeping, mopping, doing a few dishes
>get the mop bucket out and begin to do the floors from the farthest side of the store
>arrive at few customers and go around them till they leave or if 2PM comes, don't.
>doing my job as I should
>accidentally splash a customer on the back of his leg
>tell him I'm very sorry for it
>gives me this look like I insulted his mother while he wipes off his leg
>3 teens sitting in the booth I passed overlook at me and laugh in disgust
>"What the fuck is wrong with you? Can't you like wait until closing?"
>These dumbasses have never been to a Waffle House before
>24/7 7 days a week, 52 weeks, EVERY DAY Including XMAS
>finish my job
>tell them I'm sorry
I honestly wish I bitched them out and told them to fuck off. My manager at the time wouldn't have done shit tho. I'm sorry I splashed your leg but it's not like I did it on purpose.

if you slopped mop water on me I'd have your throat.

>Look at me all big a buff
>be on Veeky Forums
pick one user.
If you tried anything, those cooks are 10xs crazier than you will ever hope to imagine. So do yourself a favor, don't post empty threats about anyone if you're not man enough to do it. We all know you wouldn't

you do? too bad all we can be is pen pals.

...

stupid heart didn't go through :(

Circa 2010

I was working at Kroger for $3/hr pt in the meat dept being their bitch for rent money during college.

Say screw it and go across the street to Rafferty's. Work my ass off as second prep, but love it and make $12.

After a few months, some hottie I had an eye on shows an interest and starts conversations before her shift.

The semester ends, I quit and transfer to my hometown to save on costs. My gf at the time transfers with me.

Fastforward 7 years and we get married and are expecting a kid. Always wonder what life would have been like if I had stayed. She was so gorgeous and full of life.

Sweet user! Hope you become an excellent father

i hope you have a heart attack while typing in your name, namefag.

Faggot, you wouldn't do shit

Hey man, I'm trying to encourage and be nice. Don't be a jerk for no reason.

checked.

Thanks. Not really thrilled, it's a girl.
Definitely been replaying the past decade and questioning the shitty roads I took.

you wouldn't slop water on me, and your mother is ugly and of loose morals.

Just do yourself a favor and don't be so overly protective. I've met too many parents throughout dating with stupid parents that are like "MY BABY GIRL IS WITH SOME HOODLUM!"
and I'm like "I'm a fucking nerd. We will likely go play bored games and tcgs... The fuck you think I'm doing? Partying and getting drunk?" LOL

very clever user

>Working in the food industry

Just dont do it to yourself lads. Its complete shit. There are countless jobs out there where you get paid significantly more, deal with less shit, dont get treated like shit, dont have to work every fucking weekend etc etc etc.

Honestly, just go find a nice cushy office job and work 9-5. You'll be paid the same and actually enjoy your life.

I'm hoping for that this Jan.

Anyways it was like being in a rob zombie movie. The whole world felt like it had a harsh filter.

Don't reddit here, faggot.

>he can't see the humor in sarcastically linking to a subreddit
don't try to fit in too hard edgelord

I did it for 8 years. At the time I enjoyed it.

But looking back it was actually a waste of time. You give up so much and there is just no need to. Working 16 hour shifts and having your boss bitch because you take a 20 minute break, getting shit because you dare try and take a weekend off, being paid the bare minimum, being spoken to in a certain way because thats 'how it happens in the industry'.

It's all wrong. Theres no need for it to be that way. Do I get the same 'buzz' working in finance as a kitchen? Probably not. But thats more than offset by the quality of life I gained. It is far more rewarding to keep cooking as a passion and get a job that allows you to actually go to restaurants on a saturday night rather than being in the kitchen sweating over a grill.

I have a handful of friends that have desk jobs and they say they hardly have to work a lot of times and spend a lot of it on facebook and youtube

>I was being ironic

>moot
only mook's word is law now cuckboy

There's a reason I keep my shitty coffee shop job. $15 + tips (2 bucks or so an hour) and health benefits plus sick/vacation. Sucks when when you don't have a college education.

I'm 3 months in to a graduate program. I barely do any work at all. I regularly ask for more work but just dont get it.

My boss is away this week, so I went in on Monday and did 8-1 before taking the rest of the day off to go shopping, today I worked at home which involved sending a few emails and watching the CEO in a parliamentary select committee whilst sat in a nice coffee shop trying some of their guest espresso varieties. Tomorrow I will go in and do a proper days work, Thursday is a team meeting which is 10-3 with free pizza for lunch, friday work from home where I will do zero work.

Its not really very rewarding, and in 2 months I move to my next placement on the scheme, but it pays £30000 for entry level, which is the same as a head chef in the restaurant I last worked at.

Sam's is offering 10.50 an hour in the cafe. As much as I hate working in food, I'll go for that

at least when you aint got shit to do I bet they don't mind you listening to music. As long as I got music or something in the background, I'm good.

The point still stands, regardless of which admin dick you are currently sucking (was it u/spaz?).

>u/spaz

Fucking Redditor.

Trained this dude in the bakery where I work, which entails mixing and cutting dough, baking it to make bread, you know, what you'd expect a bakery to do. After 5 days of training he opens his first day and does absolutely nothing and kinda just shrugs when someone asks him if he has bread to serve. He lasted one day.

I went out of my way to tell people to avoid the asian food at the cafe there.

Idk why restaraunts have gotten this bad, you don't reward people for shitty behavior just because they're eating your food. If I owned one of like to think I'd be sending so many shitlords out of my diner.

In high school i worked at a cafe, and I got to eat whatever i wanted for free. I just had to ask the kitchen people to make me something when it wasnt super busy. This was in Denmark. Do american food workers not get free food?

>work on grounds crew at summer camp
>taking out trash from kitchen when screaming starts
>girl throws a knife at some other girl
>both get fired

that was a strange summer. also someone put a knife in the sink and a high schooler cut his hand pretty bad on it

>working at bar and grill
>drop calzone on the floor
>look at roommate
>"I didn't see anything"
>serve it anyway
It was probably fine but I would never do it again desu

Totally depends, I worked at four restaurants and got free meals at two of then of them. Another was a pizza place where I got free slices but not the best stuff. At the fourth I used to eat off the line while working though. Some restaurants have very strict guidelines, particularly corporatized chains.

Depends on where you work, but no there isn't any law that says they have to feed us if that's what you're asking

it really depends cause in america we basically pride ourselves on "theft" or money or whatever. OH NO Your staff is hungry and you gotta waste food regardless? Fuck give it to them!

That's fuckin kitchen safety 101
YOU NEVER put a knife in the sink. You wash it off and put it to the side.

12/hr is "fucking bank"?

Hahahahaha thisbfucking kills me! Tell more stories please on rolling. Sounds like good old Delmar Gardens

HAHAHAHAAH

>y'all, get A+ certified or learn a trade/IT skill

Healthcare, people. You won't find jobs that pay so much for so little required training/education. Even tangential stuff, like be an admitting/registration clerk, or medical records. There's a girl in my dept whose whole job is burning CDs and printing reports, putting them in envelopes, and taking them to the mail room. This is entry level stuff, and she's gotta make twice what that nursing home cook guy is making.
