/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Same in Utah everything is shut down besides McDonald’s and boomer chains

Not in the industry, but my sister and brother in law are. Both have applied for unemployment and got some produce from his restaurant.

my restaurant closed the day before de blasio made the announcement. broadway shutting down fucked us

>>13793276
Own my own business so i dont get shit from the govt have to stay open through the whole thing

APPLY FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. It's better than $0 coming in and they've waived the 7-day waiting period.

>just moved across country
>left old job voluntarily to move
>just started training at new job
>lmao everything's closed by order of gov
>ineligible for EI

cant wait to be homeless. at least the weathers getting warm

>>13793315
yeah the unemployment website has been down all day so no commiebucks for me yet :(

>>13793276
in NJ. been a server for two months and was finally making a little money but i guess i am out of work now

Can't even suck dick for a living in this market since all the patrons are scared of catching the virus.

>>13793276
not in the service industry
not out of work. yet.
as a gulf coast resident, i've noticed a pattern
pre disaster attitude is "every man for himself"
post disaster attitude is "we all need to help each other out"
no theories or conclusions...just an observation

>>13793276
We've been slow all week, but unless we go under me and one other guy are pretty much guaranteed jobs at my place. I know a bunch of guys in Vegas just got canned, though.

>>13793398
Yeah, people are fucking idiots in the South.

>>13793407
they are. i'd suggest this applies to all regions, though.

Thankfully, Sacramento hasn't closed restaurants yet so we're still making lots of to-go stuff.

>>13793330
unemployment site crashed where I live

the good news is that I am getting paid to sit on my ass in the grocery store kitchen. the bad news is I work in a grocery store kitchen jesus christ where did I go wrong

Unemployment sucks, I don't know why you guys would want it. I got laid off and didn't apply for it. Apparently to get the money you have to prove you're actively looking for new work. Fuck that.

>>13793446
that req has been waived for anyone furloughed by the shutdowns in NYC. also it's not hard to show or pretend you're looking for work anyway

My city's just had dining-in shut down for 2 weeks. We're going to have to change shit rapidly to be reliant on pickup and delivery.

Im not in that industry any more but its pretty clear how its going for the people I know

>Work 50-60 hours a week
>Get shit pay
>Work every weekend
>Have to bail on plans with family/friends because the restaurant gets busy and they cant leave
>Put their heart and soul in to the restaurant because its 'like a family'
>Suddenly theres no work so they are either not paid or just lose their job

Fuck the hospitality industry. Its bullshit. So many idiots thinking that they owe something to their boss/manager/owner. Working thier lives away, giving up everything. Not realising that their employer doesnt give a shit about them, and they can be replaced within a matter of days or weeks.

If youre over 30 and still doing it, you really fucked up.

>>13793276
Just remember the democrats like cuomo that you voted for and keep voting for, time and time again. He's a moron and manipulative scumbag even worse than his father. WHAA! WHAA!
Now shut up, you bitches voted for him, deal with it.

>>13793276
Why aren't you supporting the scumbag cuomo that you voted for?

>>13793452
This.

>>13793446
I was laid off last year and had to file a petition along with everyone else I was laid off with.
The petition was only accepted today.
It was worth while to get paid to just look and apply for jobs.
Sites like indeed and ziprecruiter allow you to 1 tap apply for stuff so it's not all that time consuming unless you're also writing cover letters.

>>13793276

I feel bad for you guys....

Had I known they were going to be taking it this far I would not have voted for Trump.

I'm fucked, interesting how nobody at work cares about catching the virus and the only thing they were concerned with was how to pay their bills now

we net 400k a year into the bosses pocket, the cash flow is transparent so we all know this
we are expecting them to take care of us and nobody asked for much, just a few hundred bucks to get us through

but they said no. and so everything was looted by the staff tonight, all the food, clothes, everything that wasn't bolted down went out the door
I have 7 days worth of meals here easy. They can have fun looking for a new staff when this is over

>>13793633
Why after being laid off did it require you to get some permission to get your own jobs? That seems pretty strange to me and going through some shit like "ziprecruiter" from india makes you look like fools. Why consign yourself to some shit site "ziprecruiter?"
Don't be a moron.

>>13793661
I wonder why people like you voted for that in the first place? No one saw this coming, you know that right?

>>13793673
is english your second language?

>>13793673

You're bad at pretending to write and read English.

That isn't what I said at all and you're not even replying to me anymore, you're replying to some other anon who is also confused as your sentence structure and question.

Signing a petition is not the same as "permission".

>>13793692
What do you do think that it says, mr knowitall?

>>13793703
I signed a petition.

No where in my post does it say "permission"

Now tell us what language you actually speak. Because it's definitely not English. Or are you just drunk?

>>13793698
You never wrote "petition" and a "petition" has no force of authority unless done properly, and that you don't seem to able to realize.

>>13793708
So what?
You signed a pizza, hahahahaa!
These idiots have no idea.

>>13793738
>oh to your prove your own ignorance
this doesn't even make sense.

>>13793746
I know that you don't are you so arrogant as to think that someone else doesn't know more than you? That would make you like a negro, pathetic.

I’m in salary and we’re seasonal anyways

>>13793742
I mean, it clearly says petition.
I think you're just fucking assblasted cause you got called out by multiple anons. You're probably also a typical /ck/ drunk and you can't even see straight right now.

>>13793764
This isn't even about a disagreement.
The post says petition. Clear as day.

Again. Please keep drinking until you fucking die.

>>13793768
You don't even know what the petition was for. I left it vague on purpose.

>>13793771
I've never voted for anyone. Did you mean to reply to >>13793677 ?

>>13793353
This. You ain't getting rehired in the near future by anyone when we're entering a depression the likes of which will make 1929 look like a schoolgirls picnic. Ironically, you were one of the faggots that enabled this disaster by joining a cult.

>>13793787
hahahhaa, fuckin poodle head democrats!

Bread orders are falling at the bakery as restaurants close. I'm giving my employees guaranteed 2 weeks of full pay regardless of hours, and encouraging them to explore Unemployment claims after that if orders keep falling. If they level out I may be able to keep everyone on at reduced rate and hours. If they keep tanking I'm going to need to run everything solo to keep it sustainable.

>>13793787
>you were one of the faggots that enabled this disaster by joining a cult

what the fuck are you even talking about?

shits fucked

>>13793276
service industry, always under report tip earnings, pay less taxes while still making a decent living. pls feel bad for me, while I collect benefits I barely paid into.

My state just announced the closure of dine-in restaurants for the next 10 days at least,
although delivery and take-out is still an option.
As a server this fucking blows, but I'm just thankful I'm not in a dire situation,
and can survive for a while without work.

If you are unemployed and ordered to stay indoors, attempting to access a government website at around 3AM is much more feasible.

>>13794038

...Yes? Night work is notoriously hard on people.
Have you never heard the expression "odd hours?"

i've been getting takeout pizza nonstop trying to support you bros but i can only do so much.

good luck and know that i love you.

>>13794181
Everybody do shit like this
I'm in OH but same deal with the restaurant closures. Plan on trying to spend the same, or more amount on restaurant food during this whole thing at only local places I value and don't want to go under- hopefully they can do right by their employees somehow.

Here in Michigan all restaurants and bars are only doing take out now.

>>13793276
Copypasting what I said in a lil thread:
Tomorrow, all of the restaurants and bars will be closed. Both of my jobs will be shut down, I'm a cook and a part time brewer. Indefinitely.
I'm filing for unemployment and I topped up my supplies. I was hoping that Montana would stay clear of it but we're infected and going into lockdown. I bought two guns and as much ammo as I could. My landlord is a neo nazi biker who owns the whole damn trailer park and I'm pretty much the only one in the park who isn't in a biker gang. We talked today, and I guess I'm an honorary member as long as I'm ready to help protect the neighborhood from looters. His friend owns a lot of hunting land just outside of town with a lot of game. Also made plans to go raiding ourselves, should it come to that.

I don't know what to do without work, though. I love cooking and I love brewing beer. I can't cook as much as I'd like to at home because I need to make shit last, and I'm not set up to brew at home. My only hobby is cooking though and that's why I love my fucking job. I'm going to cry.

Work at LCBO, deal with mouth breathers, mentally ill, addicts, drunks etc. Get sneezed on, coughed on daily. LCBO not closing (as of yet), store policy on COVID is extra cleaning, gloves, not handling customer's reusable bags. Still handle cash, still interact with customers... the virus is airborne so absolutely all these "measures" are pointless, and everybody knows it, anyone can be contagious within 6 feet with no symptoms. Feel fucked over by the company, but also don't wanna close because I need money.

>>13794198

>>13794235
The very real possibility of being in a raider posse is kinda cool, except I've never killed anyone yet and I'd really rather be back to my regular way of life.
Supposed to only be a week but this shit never works out like that. The end times are here, brothers. I'll miss you guys.

>>13794181
I work in fine dining, we don't have any takeout business, and then the brewery I work at part time is strictly a brewery, and beer delivery isnt a thing as far as I know...but it really should be, now that I think about it.

Work for a college kitchen, today was the last day for the few people needed to keep a line running for faculty and students living on-campus. Supposedly we come back on the 6th but I'm not terribly confident of that. Nothing to do but cash those unemployment checks and wait it out.

>>13793687
Socialists don't volunteer, and are the least charitable people. They do take a lot of time to complain about other people not doing the work for them. Or take credit for other peoples work and ideas.

In the meantime, get your unemployment started asap. Hopefully within 2-3 months things clear up. People will want to get out and start spending money again.

There's going to be a lot of volunteer services struggling really quickly, if you are healthy you should consider what you can do. Also good chance you can pick up work and a meal through volunteer work. You're not going to be doing anything with your time anyways, except looking for jobs everyone else is looking for. When everything blows over the people that tend to run volunteer services tend to have a lot of other connections.

>>13794198
Pro tip: Brew them beer if supplies get scarce. You'll go up more than just a few notches just because you can provide a steady stream of alcohol.

>>13794584
Is it airborne? Could have sworn I remember reading somewhere that it's different from the cold/flu, in that doesn't really hang in the air and is transmitted via contact with droplets (like someone coughing at you, or touching something that was coughed on). But maybe that info was wrong.

My solution is that we change the US government entirely. I don't have any solutions for other countries that are also being effected by this.

Shit was nice.

I live alone, I did prepare a bit, got enough food to last a while, and I've got enough money save up for about two months of rent.

This shutdown is only supposed to be for four weeks.
God fucking help me if it actually lasts longer though....

Fuck Cuomo, and fuck the Stacies who are freaking out and panicking over a Boomer Blaster disease.

What's everyone freaking out about?

>whole cities quarantined and forced to stay at home
>restaurants closed
>people that would usually eat out start learning to cook
>because of economic uncertainty everyone prefers to save money
>state of emegerncy eventually dissolves and people still have loads of food at home
You retards are doomed.

>>13793661
Not really sure what you fags wanted Drumpf to do. Every travel ban gets challenged. Mandatory quarantines and COVID19 tests every time someone comes back from a foreign country would get shot down as government overreach instantly because HURR CHEETO MUSSOLINI. Anything more extensive than those options would have been seen as a heavy handed response. Orange Man can't win for losing.

Let's stay on food-related topics, guys.

I was working for Walgreens and got a job at a restaurant last month. My training started last week and they took me off the schedule, saying they’d let me know how things are going. As the new guy it’s not surprising they cut me out first.

I’m undecided on what to do in case they go under. Even though I had put my 2 weeks in I could keep working at Walgreens, but it’s very likely I’d catch corona from the customers. I also lost 1/2 of my PTO from cashing it into my paychecks when I was getting ready to leave.

>tfw he would scoff whenever he saw me bringing bottled water and canned goods I was stocking up on, saying, "you're being paranoid, it's just the flu, bro"

Now, he's out of the job and moping in the living room while I'm at work. It's bittersweet, since he's been humbled, but I could potentially be evicted from my apartment if he can't pay his bills. This all happened so fat. Shit's fucked, brahs.

>>13794381
That is really true, not if directly because of this, but because elderly women need a little help from time to time.

>>13794550
Instead of having a debate, why don't you post it here? If post any information here then we can all be availed of it instead of it being secret.

im one of the only cooks who has a car at my place so i've been delivering. honestly thinking about quitting after this and delivering pizza or some shit. this is chill just driving around.

>>13793876
Yeah, this. My roommate literally gloated a couple months ago about making $7k in cash tips, all of which he didn't report to the IRS. Now he's out of the job and freaking out about bills. I fucking hate libtards.

The problem people had is that the disease, in and of itself, really isn't that bad. Like, at all. The problems are all caused by a feedback loop of people panicking. I didn't believe at all that it would get this bad, at first. There's no real reason for it to get this bad, except people freaking out.

>>13795879
Their are a lot negros involved

>>13794707
The government exists by dtealing money from people. Why would it care about efficiency and effectiveness?

>>13795815
Except hes not paying the price of the disease being a big deal. He's suffering because the state is shutting everything down in a panic.

>>13795904
Negros were always welfare queens, but now they're gonna sue just like everyone else. Those cumbuckets will get right to the end of the line.

>>13795875
Find a source saying he didn't fire the team then

I think that it'll be funny suing the Chinese government.

>>13795160
It honestly is pretty ridiculous, I get that you don't want to overwhelm hospitals, but at this point that seems like it's going to happen no matter what. It sucks but closing restaurants and making people lose their jobs isn't the answer.

Stupid welfare queens suing the Chinese government for ineptitude.
LOTS OF LUCK!

>>13795879
The panic is just causing toilet paper to be scarce, it's not a big deal.

The economic damage isn't caused by panic, it's caused by the government imposed shutdown. The economic damage is bad, it is 1930's bad. The only advantage we have is that the world is not on a gold standard so states can go into much deeper deficits. We need many Trillions of stimulus world wide. Fuck Austrian economics, last time the world tried it their way we got 2 world wars.

>>13795930
>people are going to get sick anyway, may as well just abandon all precautions and maximize risks

You're retarded.

>>13795933
I was talking with some chicks and don't forget tampons and pads and stuff.

>>13795934
>bro just wash your hands
>bro just stay home and literally be unable to pay rent and then get evicted
one of these is retarded but it isn't the one you think

A lot of you people don't think of the chicks. No wonder you never have had girlfriends.

>>13795933
Fashionably retarded

>>13795934
Look, I get closing shit like schools, at least kids can still learn via internet and there are programs for poor kids to get meals. But a small restaurant is probably not gonna have tons of people packed into it at once, so long as they place limitations on how many can come in at once and are diligent about cleaning, letting them stay open seems better than putting a lot of people out of their jobs. Unless the government is planning on assisting them during this time.

>>13795940
My government has put a ban on evictions for the time being and there are welfare safety nets to make up for lost income in a time of emergency.
Shame you yanks disparage this sort of thing as filthy socialism though. Enjoy your pandemic.

I've been listening to that Michael Osterholm podcast and he's talking about a vaccine in the works.

I think it's ridiculous to tell people to stay home and not give them any kind of compensation. What's the point of being alive if you are going to end up homeless and dead anyway?

>>13795961
It is a brit term for us, we don't take it personally, kind of like we call them limey cunts. We don't think twice about it. Why do you?

>>13795966
oh a podcast, so he's really in the works? Yeah right. How much do you get paid to be a shillng faggit?

>>13795501
fellow orgonian here
glad to hear you were actually able to get unemployment. Some other people I know were having a hard time getting it because everyone is trying to sign up at once.

>>13795909
Why is the state shutting everything down, retard? Riddle me that.

>>13795615
>Every infectious disease expert saw this coming
And they did absolutely nothing about it? Sounds like they should be put in the chair.

>>13795982
government people have to pretend to "be in charge" that's how they make their money. What are you some kind of doofus?

>>13795933
>The economic damage is bad, it is 1930's bad. The only advantage we have is that the world is not on a gold standard so states can go into much deeper deficits. We need many Trillions of stimulus world wide.

Agreed. The government also realizes this will be forced to provide temporary stimulus to its citizens. This is an unprecedented circumstance, and both parties should work together to alleviate the burden that has befallen us so suddenly. As of right now we are in the midst of a global recession, and if policy isn't enacted soon, we'll stumble into a depression. Our best hope is to develop a vaccine or cure, but that will take up to a year and a half, if we're being optimistic. The Chinese insectoids really fucked us.

>>13795967
>reflexively launched into an anti-brit screed
>oh, but i don't take it personally
lol.

>>13795765
I'm willing to believe what you're saying but how is that any better? If anything, that's even more of a stupid move than doing it now. We clearly have a fucking health issue in this country and he's already fucking it up for next year?

That's fucking retarded. You're being fucking retarded.

>>13795980
"Panic"

>>13794164
wat if you tell them you feel sick?

>>13795997
eventhough you twisted it, it was still pretty funny. Fuck the brits and you foreiners would just love that wouldn't you?

Someone should kickback in court, no government has the authority to stop companies from running.

>If post any information here
When ever I see people type like this, I assume they're either really fucking poor at english because they're ESL or because they're a typical /ck/ drunk.

I'm not gonna go into /x/ material on this board. You can just google Danny Casolaro and read about his story and the account from his brother.

Instead of having a debate about non cooking shit on a cooking board, why don't you go read up on stuff before you spout off, typing like a mad man.

For restaurants that are closing dining rooms, can you still go in to order take-out? I don't have a car and would rather not pay delivery fees.

>>13796029
Keep at it since you're clearly a shillary supporter what's next for you a democrat failure?

>>13795859
depends on where you work I think. Last time I worked as a cook, we all pooled tips. They were split evenly.

I'll go to the one next door, NY, just to fuck with these stupid government restrictions.

what does that have to do with anything that I said?

>>13796042
Of course you don't, yet you bother with our elections you foreign sack of shit.
Of course that's OK for you.

>>13796046
Nothing since you didn't write anything worthwhile in the first place you fucking nig.

>>13796047
>foreign
I live in the US and I was born here.
Who the fuck said I bother with the government? I don't do anything with the government other than pay my taxes because I literally can't avoid that without going to jail.

What are you even fucking talking about at this point?

>>13796053
Calm down, god damn. What kind of fucking bug crawled up your ballsack?

Can't take what? This is text on an image board. nothing more.

>>13796066
Again, I'm from the US and I live here. I have no idea why you keep going on and on about foreign nonsense.
I don't care that he's going to do that. I care that he's shutting down the CDC cause that's actually fucking stupid considering what's happening right now.

>>13794198
yeah okay anon

>>13796080
Riiiiight, you more than everyone, so you're posting the cure here on 4chan.
That seems legit.

I got out of the industry years ago and now in a cushy office job.
Seening past friends on the dole because no jobs.
Restaurants aren't just on hiatus, they are purging staff.

Fast food places shouldn't be closing down.
They should be screening staff and doing drive through only.

Just like Supermarkets should have locked doors a long time ago and prioritiesd delivery so they can actually manage the stock and effectively ration to combat the idiots

>>13796080
>I care that he's shutting down the CDC

no one is doing that sweaty.

>>13795982

Sorry but I'm a firm believer that there were labe assistants that graduated the bottom of their class and were just being fucking idiotic about this and now people are dropping like flies.

Because if even 1% of the population requires simultaneous ICU, the hospital systdm overloads and lots of boomers die.

Contrary to the memes, there are lots of good boomers who don't deserve to die.

>>13794252
Me too..I own a small cafe in one..the university closed originally for 2-3 weeks..
I recieved the email last night..the entire semester will be closed..until April 24th..
This is nation wide in (US) I'm in Los Angeles..globally
I'm beyond fucked, zero income..might just pull out all the equipment and move to a better state, I was planning on Nashville (but was gonna take a year to save) now I might just load up all the keep able stuff (fridges, marzocco, prep tables, ovens) sell the rest (chairs, tables, etc for nothing - to get rid of) and bounce..
No one thinks of it, complete industry is killed, food wholesalers, drivers, office staff, cleaning crews, small craft food companies, wholesale everything companies, loaders, security, all gone)
Beyond fucked doesn't even come close to the proper description..

>>13796170
Then, the disease is a big deal after all, huh, you fucking retard?

>>13796151
Do you understand how infectious disease research happens? They monitor population trends and virus trends. They can't predict the strain of what it will be that does something like this, but they can orchestrate proper protocol for containing this stuff which they weren't allowed to do since there was no task force to advise anyone on it

>>13796172
Jesus. I don’t even know what to say. I’m so sorry, man.

>>13796173
I'm a different poster. I agree that this is a rather big deal.

I just don’t get why a fucking vaccine would take so long. Literally: can send people to moon, but can’t to deal with some cunt bat bug.

>>13796172
You'll be alright man. Everyone faces set backs like this in life. Clearly you have the ability to run a successful cafe which is rare. Just get through this and you'll be alright

>>13796196

What? How does that work? If you have sick pay and they're not letting you use it during this, maybe it's time to threaten legal action.
Unless they had you sign one of those documents that doesn't let you take stuff to court.

Is it even possible to get a new job right now?
I've been a restaurant worker my whole life, its really the only thing I know how to do. I doubt Im getting hired anywhere right now.

>>13796473
The stores that are staying open want to hire new wagecucks pretty bad because of the demand. Amazon in particular wants a bunch of new warehouse slaves.

It takes up to a year to properly test it. First test was done today, second in a couple months and 3rd months after that. Given if the test went well then it will be January at best till it becomes available. Testing isn't just meant for the short term effects but also the long term effects on the human body; reproduction etc.

>>13795946
A lot of restaurants may never open again after this.

>>13796019
Emergency powers etc.

>>13796035
That's very unusual, and in many places attempting that causes a mass exodus of FoH staff. Where I work many servers make more in tips in one busy night than most cooks make in 2 weeks. Technically yes it does vary but very rarely are cooks not tipped drastically less than FoH staff.

>>13796196
Even if we developed it right now it'd take a year to get approved for human use.

>>13796473
Nope, no restaurant jobs for sure until this blows over, probably a couple months at least.

>>13796304
My bad I misinterpreted

>>13796954
I'm legit worried some of my favorite places will go out of business, keeping a restaurant running is hard enough at the best of times

>>13793463

I am so glad I left 4 months ago and got into IT. I was getting fucked over for 5 years, and when I swapped to other restaurants I was getting fucked harder

Now I''m getting "paid" to work at home during the shutdown where I just play video games and jerk off.

The hospitality industry got me friends, a girl, and some great memories but holy fuck do they brainwash people into accepting shitty conditions for shitty pay

Dine in only pizza shop i work at has switch to only Delivery and the server girls are now delivery drivers, got a feeling they gonna bail soon.
