/ck/ - Food & Cooking

whichever one your disgusting lardass frequents the most

Long John Silver's

Any fried chicken joint or fried seafood. That shit gets on your clothes and the smell is there always.

I worked at BWW and would not recommend it. Only fresh things are wings, vegetables, and beef. Everything else is prepackaged frozen shit. Also each sauce has a bucket for tossing. Shit like garlic parm that gets tossed at 10:30am may not be cleaned until 2am.

arbys was the easiest
gayest was blaze pizza

Panera Bread and it's not even close with anything else. I've never met anyone else who worked for one that didn't fucking hate working there, including dudes that have been head chefs at top notch restaurants.

>>15077994
any place like chipotle or moes or even subway where the customer watches you adds an extra layer of bull shit that isnt worth $10/hr

>>15079999
Whats wrong with it exactly?

>>15079986
What made Arby's so easy?

>>15079999
What made Panera so bad.... asides from the absolute basic bitch clientele

>>15080021
you just pull a knob and wait for the beef to slicce, everything else is pre portioned, you dont cook you just microwave and usually the people working the fryers are also doing expo or drive through cashier so you dont have to fuck with it
only down side is cleaning the slicer at night

>>15080021

big and varied menu requiring several utensils in a cluttered but giant and open in front of customers space. fast food speed requirements coupled with full silverware/plates. tons of varied but poorly implemented different drinks: you're dumping out tons of drinks every other minute. huge dining room areas that were carpeted and a bitch to clean. patios. running a panera seems crazy to me. you need an unnecessary amount of staff tripping over each other's shoes. The people you'd think of as the "average person who eats at a panera" were that times ten when it came to the management and higher ups in the company. People constantly pulled aside for a new pointless "policy change training course" or something inane shown on an overly long video or slideshow.

As someone who previously worked at a nearby Starbucks the customers were basically the same people and not even close to the top in issues with working there.

I don't know maybe it doesn't sound bad when listed out but if you've worked at one it seems to be generally acknowledge that it was a terrible place to work at unless you were just the overnight baker or cashier that only had to make smoothies occasionally.

>>15077994
listen, cunt, i want the most meat that you are allowed to give me. i do not want to pay any extra money, but do not jew me with the meat spoon.

I thought nothing could get worse after working at my first job, maggianos (owned by chilis) but it was nothing compared to working at i hop.

>>15080335
ProTip: Tell us why IHOP was terrible.

>>15077994
Moes is pretty fun, wrapping the burrito isn’t as hard as it looks. Free food, good music and retarded coworkers, it’s a good first job

>>15080190
found the wage cuck, shut up and make my burrito

>>15079999
Quads speaks the truth. Worked there for a stretch during college and no other chain made me want to kill myself the way PB did. The customers are entitled like no other, something about the ambiance makes them feel like they're not actually in a fast food/fast casual joint or something. Middle-upper management was always a shit show as well.

probably Yum brands or subway

>>15081370
This thread is literally about wage cuck stories you fucking dependa.

>>15077994
Olive Garden. To-Go especially

WELCOME TO MOES

It's not strictly a restaurant but 7-Eleven was my worst food-service job by far. Imagine making everything for the lunch rush by yourself, while also running the register and shopping online orders from the store. While there's a line around the corner and some crackhead is hassling you because they didn't get the 20 cents off their free foodstamps slurpee with two packs of cigs and a load of beer and the timer is going off, shit's burning, and they're speaking plague straight into your face the second you come around the counter to double-check the fine print on an outdated promo from three months ago.

Then I got sick and had to go home because I was spending more time vomiting than working and they fired me because the store had to close for 2 hours because there are literally only 3 people working there including management so it's never ever ever more than one person in house at a time and somehow that's my fucking fault right?

>>15077994
I've never worked here, but the shirt alone lets me know that Texas Roadhouse is the lowest form of wage slavery.

bjs brewhouse kinda blows lmao

chipotle: "I want double meat, double rice, double cheese, double sour cream, two torts...."
JUST ORDER TWO BURRITOS FATASS

>>15082844

Yum Brands ruins everything it touches. Thank God I live in an area where The Habit locations retained original ownership.

>>15083969
Everyone wearing those shirts is miserable looking as hell on top of it.

Worked a short time at a Bob Evans busing tables. Bob Evans specializes in food slathered in gravy and syrup. Everything was sticky, the tables were a mess, just a nightmare to clean up. Digging ditches as a construction laborer was a step up.

>>15080335
I worked at Maggiano's, and that place is awfully managed but the tips were okay. Olive garden was decent but the tips were absolute shit.

>>15079986
>blaze pizza
Can attest to this. Only thing that made it not total shit was a based GM.

Cheesecake Factory. I've known a few line cooks that worked there. One person is hired to watch every cook on a security camera. If you do something one gram away from the corporate cookbook you get written up. Another guy walks around and measures your knife cuts with a ruler. I know consistency is a good thing but its typical QSR slop that consistently tastes like ass no matter what.

>>15083969
I really despise this world

>>15084641
>>15087034
The overwhelming """"positivity"""" at these corporate jobs is something else. Texas roadhouse is the most visible example. Not only must you do your job, you have to LOVE your job as well. Most places where you have a shit boss who really only gives a shit that you get the job done in exchange for his money are fine, because as long as you do your job there really is no problem with you having a open disdain for your situation. You can hate your job, bitch with your co-workers and whatever. All that matters is that the work is done.
In these massive corporate jobs that doesn't fly, there is no room for cynicism of any form. Every person some sort of supervisor or employee wellness representative who's job it is to fire you if you acknowledge the fact that you do not enjoy your shit tier minimum wage job or that you are only there because they are paying you.
They're quite literally stripping you of your basic human right to not enjoy yourself. Sure you can just leave, but if you're working at a place like this you probably don't have many options. It's probably the most brutal form of authoritarianism that most first worlders will ever see.
Honk honk.

>>15087060
This. I worked at a corporate job and 50% of each day was spend shooting the shit and bantering with coworkers and bosses didn't give a shit, because we completed our tasks at the end of the day.

>>15087080
I'm sure a lot of what I said is location dependent and based on whether or not whoever the manager is has a rod up his ass.
When I was in high school I did an interview at chipotle. The motherfucker asked me no questions about my actual work history, ethic or whatever. He's starts rattling off questions about the history of the company and it's missions and all this other bullshit I know his district manager forced him to give a fuck about. It's a shitty burrito shop and I was 16 at the time, dude knows why I'm there.

>>15079999
Just started working there about a month ago and I've wanted to quit since the first week. This is my 4th shitty entry level job but this is the only one I genuinely hate and dread going in to work every day. Doesn't help that all of my co-workers are ghetto black women who have nothing in common with me.

>>15079999
Also chequed and balanced

>>15083969
Jimmy johns has similar shirts that say “I love my Jimmy Job”

I know plenty who worked at JJs too and you either sold weed on the side or bought weed from your coworkers.

>>15077994
The real answer is any chain spot in the ghetto. that being said, when i worked round Table as a kid I burnt the fuck out of my hands and arms in that fucking oven.

>>15087097
stfu craka ass hoe. get dat clam chowda ready whiboi bich.

>>15086986
Oh man I've only been to cheesecake factory once but their menu is so fucking huge that I couldn't imagine working in the kitchen there.

>>15087393
One of the managers at the JJ's I worked at passed out in the bathroom high on drugs. He didn't get fired for it. Then he did it again a week later. But yeah most of the people there were drug dealers for some reason. I was just an alcoholic at the time but every single coworker of mine offered me drugs at some point. It was honestly not a bad job and the oldest delivery guy would show up with his end of work beer during his last delivery and no one even cared. A few people working the closing shift got fired because they stayed overnight just getting shitfaced and passed out in one of the booths.

Starbucks but depends if you work at busy location.
Pizza Driver is by far the easiest. Its also extremely comfy

Worst i've done was Pizza Hut, mostly because one of the managers was some middle-aged bitch on a power trip that'd screech at you for doing nothing for 1 second, despite her taking a break every 10 minutes to smoke. Also she'd schedule drivers until 2am and make them come in at 10am.

>>15079966
+1 for BWW
but it's real easy to nail your coworkers

>>15088526
1. find numbered entree in freezer
2. pull out numbered entree from freezer
3. put entree in microwave
4. consult entry in handbook for numbered entree for final preparation steps
5. plate

>>15088526
It's no better than dennys but they make decent drinks and will over serve you.
>>15088717
Pretty much this but add
>pull brined thrice frozen meat, and all sauces from freezer
>cook bootleg steaks and put the sauces in a steam table
>pull all appetizers and fries from freezer
>throw them in deep fryer
Seems simple but they have huge dining rooms and they're always busy. You're a food machine on an assembly line and I'm sure it's a shitty job.

>>15087060
That's one thing I like working retail for amazon. They don't give a single fuck as long as you don't piss off customers.

>>15087060
>Not only must you do your job, you have to LOVE your job as well
God, I fucking HATE places like this with a passion.

>anon you should smile more often
>why aren't you happy? Don't you appreciate this opportunity?

Fuck off, (((upper management))). In this world, working isn't an option. You have to have a job in order to survive and have some life as an adult. Just let me do my job and stop forcing me to enjoy being a wagecuck.

>>15090002
... this was always a thing. I had to pull a few district managers into the office on my breaks/end of shifts at Starbucks to explain myself a few times.

I always killed it, regardless of my mood, and the customers like me because I was attentive, and didn't try to shove some fake positivity down their throats. I might not always smile, but I'm usually likeable. On top of that, I trained three managers in things I wasn't supposed to know, and brought enough throughput in the three stores I usually worked to bring them to the top of the district, and the district up to a consistent top three in the region.

Being told I wasn't gung ho enough on their corporate cult to ever manage a store was all the push I needed to go improve my life. It wasn't time completely wasted, but it's three years I'm not getting back.

I am a civil servant, what is time management?

>>15083969
That's just kiddie shit.

>>15090038
worked at a walmart for a few weeks before rightfully quitting. It's unreal how much they deify the founder.

>>15090084
Sam didn't help you, anon?

>>15090038
absolutely positively GRIM

>>15090038
>this shit
>the fucking walmart cheer
i'm convinced the people that think this shit up aren't human

>>15090161
Most of them have never had to do what they make the workers do.

>>15090033
imagine thinking of a barista job as a career

>>15090182
>they pay an average $10,000 in taxes

>>15090182
Someone has to do it. You can't run a store with a revolving door of green-haired art history majors and bois of soi

>>15088618
It was my understanding that anyone who works overnight/third shift was basically unfirable thanks to how hard it is to find anyone willing to work the shift. Is that not correct?

>>15090210
that is exactly how starbucks across the country run though

>>15090038
>So help me, Sam.

>>15090210
its an entry level job for bubbly teenage girls

>>15090182
>I want a job for uneducated women that pays minimum wage

>>15091497
I was making minimum wage slinging lattes in highschool. Took a victory lap because I didn't know what I wanted to do in uni. The option was kind of there to quadruple my pay in the next year, and then that door slammed in my face because even at 19, I couldn't fathom being a corporate whore... So I became a chemical engineer. Half of my time is devoted to developing safer heart, endocrine, and boner meds. Tell your father he's welcome.

>>15090038
>so help me sam
We are lost

>>15086986
Big Brother? Why?

>>15087097
Fuck them

Post their pics

Probably Hot Dog On A Stick

>>15090038
Cuck

>>15092182
So unhappy

I worked at a small fried chicken chain, one was Frenchys the other was Louisiana chicken. Both were hell in different ways

>>15092143
Consistency. Notice how you can go to McDonald's in California, then fly to Illinois and go to another McDonald's and it tastes the exact same? Part of quality is consistency. All corporate restaurants are like that to some degree.

>>15092182
i miss malls, or maybe i just miss being young

>>15090038
Oh damn are you the same walmart anon from /pol/? I was worried about you bro l havent seen you in a while.
