/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Padded an order with a box of cookies once to get free shipping.

i ordered some lindt chocolate balls in bulk when they were a prime deal. i spent like 35 usd and had a chocolate every day for 6 months. besides that i use their whole foods delivery service whenever they give me a coupon for it. i always feel bad for the driver because they're contracting with amazon and i dont tip them

>>12970619
tipping is really just American thing. No one tips here in Europe in fact no one should because employer gives them enought money.

>>12970627
>No one tips here in Europe
False. If some 'murican tourist visits any of the touristy places, they often expect them to tip.

>>12970602
I'm bi-curious, of that matters

>>12970631
No one expects you to tip.

>>12970634
Mate, I literally worked at various places that expected a tip, from tourists.

>>12970632
i have serial badmemeposting disease if that matters

>>12970634
>>12970638
We even had a tip sharing policy. Tips go into a jar and kitchen hands get a share.

I bought a 5 pound bag of gummy worms and ate it in a month. Don't have any regrets honestly

>>12970638
>>12970643
That's against law.

I just ordered a bunch of San marzano tomatoes from there. Otherwise I don’t really use it for food, mainly cooking supplies

>>12970654
>law is the same in every place on the face of the planet

Also don't care, it was fair. Base wage was the same for both. Nobody would stay as kitchen hand if waiters kept all the tips.

>>12970659
how do you know if waitresses gave away all their tip and not kept like 50% of it?

>>12970656
i'm probably going to resort to doing the same soon. ever since san marzano's became a meme i find that most stores dont stock the legit DOP ones any more. the ones my local supermarkets stock are all grown in california

>>12970661
You don't. Very likely the kept a portion that they didn't share.
But if a rich table was being served, other waiters and staff would ask how much they tipped.

>>12970677
>uh boss they just tipped like 5$
>keeps 495$ dollars in pocket.

It's food. You click what food you want. It comes in the mail. What exactly about this concept is too difficult for you to understand fucking retard?

>>12970668
Yeah Amazon is the only place I can find real DOP San Marzanos. I tried all my local grocery stores, from the cheapest to the most upscale, and couldn’t find them. Only bootleg SM like Cento. So I’m going to order from Amazon from now on

>>12970659
where i am in canada, people stay as kitchen hands because they're male and thus capable of actually working, and the management hires young girls as waitresses, and sort of changes them out periodically for younger better looking models (they'll keep like one or two of the older ones so they can train, or be called in if its busy). they'll sort of string along dishwashers and other kitchen workers by telling them "we are going to make you a waiter very soon" until they eventually give up and quit.

btw wait staff here makes at least 12$ an hour, usually more, and still expects tips of 15-45%, a tinder slut i talked to made 85k a year as a waitress (of course she only claims about 35)

>>12970602
>have fun 20 years from now finding a grocery store after they all go out of business and amazon won't sell to because you socail credit score is to low from shit posting on 4chan
no and i don't intend to now fuck off and shill else where.

>>12970668
>>12970794
I find it hilarious that you dont realize that youre the problem you speak of.

>>12970668
>>12970794
what kind of shit store are you shopping at? At Publix, Ingles and Walmart you just ask the manager to order a case and they'll stock it on the shelf

>>12970602
Yeah but it's just canned or dryed goods, and it's always spot on what I ordered. I love complaining but I have none with them, a lot of that has to do with UPS and USPS as well which very few people mention and deserve credit.

I walk to the store, so I use Amazon for heavy/bulky things. Canned goods, large bags of beans/rice, toilet paper, paper towel, pet food.

The one time I ordered groceries from Amazon I got like 20 boxes for like 12 items but apparently since they bought out Whole Foods it's not as bad now

>>12971227
How many cats do you have you weirdo?

>>12971274
Just one.

>>12971394
don't iron you cats anon!!!

>>12970627
If you don't make enough money in tips employers have to make up the difference between how much you made and minimum wage, waiters are paid less because its part of what makes the restaurant industry work. Seriously if you're european don't give advice on economics.

>>12971469
That cat's a mess and needs some ironings.

>>12971476
Land of the free, where employers expect patrons to pay the salary of their staff.

>>12970668
>>12970794
Imagine thinking CANNED tomatoes taste different depending on the brand.

>>12970602
Yeah, I get a big bag of Haribo Gummi Bears every 3 months with their subscription service. Mainly because where I live doesn't sell it. Usually when I get it I throw it in the fridge to cool it down if it's hot when I open it.
It's a good service specifically for that, food you can't get locally.

>>12971530
>Land of the free, where you pay a lower price for the food and pay the employees what ever you choose based on whether or not they did a good job thus giving them incentive to actually do a good job.
fify

Yeah. Dried wors.

>>12970602
I bought candy from amazon

>>12971555
>defending unethical business practices because you think you benefit from them.

>>12971555
>putting food and getting someone order is considered a "good job"

woooahhhh, i guess waiters should be paid the same as rocket scientists at this point because they did a good job!

>>12971590
>enjoy your lazy servers that don't bring you the condiments/refills/napkins you asked for until the meal is over, then you have to get up and chase them down for the check just so you can leave
Just admit that you're to much of a sperg to handle tipping

>>12971638
no, but they should only get paid when they actually do their job instead of taking a 20 min smoke break while my food gets cold

>>12971643
except those "lazy" servers" happens 80% of the time. why would anyone tip even if they were doing their job? The food is not cheaper because I could literally just order it to go in some places.

>>12970627
Nah it’s definitely become a thing in Sweden

>>12971643
>then you have to get up
THE HORROR!

>>12971590
>unethical business practices
American servers love it because the ones that hustle make bank and don't have to report it on taxes and it assures the lazy servers don't last very long and that's important because if they're slacking on the floor then they're slacking in the back not doing their prep and clean work.

>>12971655
Who told you that swedes can have any opinion? Back to shed.

>>12971700
Workers shouldn't be forced to rely on people's kindness to get a paycheck. And it is kindness because no one is forced to give them anything.

>>12970627
In Europe we tip when you have a combination of "I'm not broke as shit" and "the waiter did a good job".

>>12970602
Yes.
Hot sauce.
A spicy snack pack.
Beef jerky.

>>12971761
If the latter contingency were applied in the US, no server would ever receive a tip ;)

>>12971718
I think you should be worrying more about how to get your country to become a enlightened society where a honor system could work like America , maybe we're just better and kinder people compared to you europeons.

>>12971394

>>12971530
That is freedom dumbass.

tfw you fool suckers into thinking that they're getting "free" 2-day shipping while adding the cost of shipping to the price of each item

>>12971530
>He thinks San Marzano is a brand
WHAT A FUCKING RETARD!

>>12971555
>Land of the free, where you underpay Mexican labor because they are the only ones who will take it while vilifying Mexicans at the same time

>>12971530
San Marzano is the name of the cultivar you ignorant cunt.
Not sure why you're posting here, you know fuck all about food and cooking.

>>12972016
>>12972001
All the same, there's no difference in canned tomatoes.

I bought these and they are the best pickled sausage I ever had. They aren't on prime anymore so they are 30$ for a jar.
I've tried Hannahs, & brand called backroad country but they are no match.

>>12972001
>>12972006
Where did I say San Marzano is a brand?

People were arguing that one brand of it was better than the other, and this supposedly better brand was not being stocked by supermarkets.

The point being, if it comes from a can, all tomatoes taste the same because all flavor is eliminated during canning.

Don't trust me? Test it out. Buy the most expensive San Marzano and your Best Value one and see if you can taste any difference. If they didn't add anything to it, it's the same.

yeah I order a good amount of food each month probably. they don't have a lot of stuff. so, go to the store too. It's usually fine, but some odd brands on their, don't order something bad from china our somewhere. only Campbell, bumblebee, stuff you've seen in the store.

>>12972006
the mexicans underpay themselves by under biding on contracts making it impossible for a legitimate business to compete because Americans have to pay taxes and have insurances and get permits.

>>12970602
Kind of. Ordered nip meats from Amazon, but it wasn't actually Amazon.

>>12970929
>because you socail credit score is to low from shit posting on 4chan
christ

>>12972492
In china you can already be banned from public services for buying to many video games

>>12972460
Ridiculous. Whites pay them less so it's the fault of mexicans?

dry goods and canned stuff
pantry is ok

>>12972460
Not to mention minimum wage laws Mexicans don't have to abide by

>>12972006
my parents used to pay mexican laborers to do work on our house. all their work was shit. they used the absolute lowest grade wood to build a fence, i wouldn't be surprised if they got the wood for free. they also installed lighting fixtures and left holes in the ceiling from the previous fixtures.

>>12972711
also we had to have a an engineer friend fix their shitty electrical work

>>12970602
got really drunk and ordered a case of little debbie snack cakes. wasnt bad to be honest.

>>12971066
I never tried asking a manager to stock shit. Why do that when I can just order online?

>>12971530
Ok dumbass stick to your Hunt’s brand crushed tomatoes lmao

>>12972142
Why are you proud of having no ability to discern tastes?

>>12972759
I'm not American, I don't use canned tomatoes ever.

>>12972765
Why do you pretend that using canned tomatoes is even remotely related to taste instead laziness?

>>12970602
Not Amazon, but I work at Fedex and I can promise you we throw your meal delivery kit boxes around like baseballs and 9 times out of 10 the box comes down the conveyor belt already wet and soggy

>>12972812
>American veggies are bred to taste as bland as possible. That's why we need to import canned tomatoes from Italy. Also every single strawberry I've eaten in Europe and UK has tasted better than any NA strawberry. I wish I could import some.

>>12972826
Accidental greentext

>>12972812
Canned tomatoes are the only ripe tomatoes, unless you live near a great local farmer. You don’t know jack shit and i bet you’ve never even tried San Marzanos

>>12971469
Then how the fuck am I supposed to get rid of the wrinkles?

>>12971493
It's fine on dedicates right?

1 gallon of worchestershire sauce. big box of cliff bars. they have some good prices on bulk stuff but I wouldn't bother with normal groceries.

>>12970602
>Has anyone ever bought food from amazon? I'm just curious
I don't my actual groceries by the box, just foreign food or hard to find items, per my whim.
I get kasugai gummies in all the flavors from Japan. They take a while to get here. Mango, muscat grape and yuzu are my favorites.
I buy lychee honey in squeeze tubes from Thailand in multiples. Nothing is as yummy in tea, on toast, etc.
Crunchie candy bars from the UK. Nothing exists like it in the US. Sometimes some lakris black licorice from Iceland, the kind with the chocolate and licorice together, just a memory from a vacation.
I stock up on Orange cafe international foods coffees, which I keep in my desk at work. It reminds me of the Starbucks Mocha Valencia discontinued years ago. Sometimes I'll buy a 2lb bag of whole beans from a roaster in another state. It is cheaper on the direct website vs amazon, but hey, it's easier through them. Note that $7 is what amazon gets for S&H and commission, so that's your surcharge.

>>12970627
>go to eu
>get shit service in restaurant
>realize their only motivation to hustle is tips
>not tipping is no longer cool

>>12970602
I've been using amazon fresh for all my grocery shopping for years.

>>12973591
Were you in Greece or Paris?

>>12970659
>Nobody would stay as kitchen hand if waiters kept all the tips

well... i still kinda stay...

i work as a cook in the best, most visited Restaurant in my town, and the waiters are like fucking jews when it comes to splitting the tips with the kitchen staff... they make the same in tips a day, as they give to the kitchen staff a month... ( I get like 60 bucks a month, they get like 70-100 bucks a day...) I currently work like 13 -14 hours a day, 6 days a week, and I only get payed a 40 hours week. I might be a depressed alcohol, but fucking hell, I really think about an hero almost every day, I just don't know what else to do, there are no other things left, I just don't know how to continue, but I have to, or I'll become homeless, cause no job = no money to pay rent... what do?

>>12973652
call the police and report that your coworkers are stealing from you

>>12973664
nah, boss is ok with the waiters keeping all the tip money, and it's up to them deciding to give the kitchen whatever the fuck they want...
>>12970602
about the thread...

I only bought some spices from Amazon, that I couldn't get somewhere else, or some obscure booze that my crush liked, that I couldn't find somewhere else...

unironically its a great place to order exotic deenz

>>12971995
I fucking hate this kike

>>12973591
>be poorlet
>eat at shit place
>get shit service
>it must be because there are no tips!
Get a real job

this is a comedy series in the making, just a heads up

>>12970602
ive bought about 50 pounds worth of gummy bears over the past four years. Its a weird feeling

Yes I bought some canned soups in bulk and tuna for tuna sandwiches. There isn't a cost around here so this is my best bet for buying bulk. I also bought some ghiradeli hot chocolate in bulk. would recommend.

>>12971655
lol no

>>12972006
Well to be fair we only started vilifying them once the government told companies that they couldn't use them as slave labor anymore.
