>management tells me to make it just so theyll shut up
i hate foh

>>16122962
You work with the cunt all day, and you can't be bothered to make them another plate? You sound like a real joy to work with

>>16122970
nigga if im trying to pre close or even close and they just ring in shit instead of asking of course im going to be mad
we even have a cut off for employee meals but no one fucking listens to that anyways

>>16122766
stop making these threads
places normally call "last order" 45~90min before closing for a reason.

>>16122970
not my fault the cunt doesnt wanna make their own food

why dont they just make it themselves

>middle of a big lunch rush
>employee has to go on break
>rings up their order and doesnt make it themselves, while we have to slave away at the orders

>servers
>making their own food
>doing anything other than looking pretty
mmkay bro nice fantasy

>paid to make food
>complaining about making food

>>16122970
its fine if they let me know at some point before so they aren't interrupting my workflow. it's like if I ask them to ring something in for me when they're running food

>>16123046
it's mostly just being on the line for 8, 9, 12, 16 hours a day for 6 or 7 days a week with no breaks will wear most anybody down to a nub. line cooking is a fucking wojack party meme.
>it's hot
>my feet hurt
>becky rang in a roasted half-chicken at 5 to close
>do you even season?
>tfw have to change the fryer grease
>i wish paul bocuse would throw a copper pot at me
>nobody even noticed my new whisk and spatula tattoo

>>16123024
>>16123067
why are you such a pussy ass bitch? if its closing time just say no, wtf are they gonna do? jesus christ you are a fucking bitch complaining on 4channel rather than telling your coworkers to fuck off

>>16123077

>>16123067
>>nobody even noticed my new whisk and spatula tattoo

>>16123022
>>rings up their order and doesnt make it themselves, while we have to slave away at the orders
>aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh i have to do my job that i'm paid for

>Be FOH
>FOH makes desserts too
>This guy from BOH always asking me to make him shakes and shit outside his employee meal
>Always oblige cos never get in trouble and others do it and he smokes me up
>Be closing with him one day
>Decide to order some chili cheese fries after I'm off, think he'll think nothing of it
>Hear him bitching his ass off about front house niggas always orderin shit as he takes forever to scoop some existing fries out of the fry bin and put nacho cheese and prepackaged chili on them
>Asks me to make him a shake the next day
>Tell him I got yelled at for making him shakes and he has to order them
Fuck y'all. Also you'd be working FOH if you could make eye contact.

>>16123577
Show those cook cucks whose boss

>work prep
>boh and foh are gay

>>16123577
>losing your solidarity with the fellow working class
pathetic.

>>16123577
when i was serving i made more than youll ever see from tips
i despised every facet of foh tho so i asked to learn kitchen and love it more

>>16122766
a hidden talent of mine??

>>16122970

Why can't the employee make their own food?

>>16125410
I work at a place where boh gets a share of tips so I get basically an extra $3.50/hr from them on top of the $17 I started at a few weeks ago. It's nice.

>>16122766
I used to deliver chinese food years ago. I spent a lot of time sitting around in the restaurant waiting for orders. They'd stop delivery before they shut down for take-out only. If I wanted food they made me go outside, call in my order and stand and wait for them to bring it out to me because "we're closed you can't sit in restaurant".

>>16122766
>WAAAAAH I DON'T LIKE WORKING OR PUTTING ANY EFFORTS INTO MY WORK
You're a little bitch, I like making the FOH food, they work too and deserve some good food, in return they slip me some beer

>>16123067
lmao just change job jackass

>>16123771
The real blackpill, everyone working in restauration in a selfish asshole who can't be bothered to do their jobs properly and expect a good pay out of it

BOH fags are pathetic losers with no goals in life. I was a FOH chad that got drunk, made 3x their pay, and fucked the female waitresses. Sorry BOH niggers

>>16123577
So you heard him say that and didn't call his ass out on the spot? Back when I was in the shithole industry we fucking chirped each other back and forth all the time.

>live in the middle of nowhere
>owner of local burger joint calls customers every name in the book and swings a mop around when it's closing time

>>16126458
>implying I wasn't getting drunk and fucking the same foh sluts

im gonna need a refill on my diet coke, also my child took a shit on the floor and you're gonna need to clean it up. I aint payin btw so it's coming out of your tips cuck

>work at restaurant/bar
>constant drunk idiots want food after kitchen is closed at 11
>boss comes up with idea
>starts buying bulk frozen foods
>taquitos, mini hamburgers, hot pockets
>drunk idiots still want food? No problem. Charge them $5 for 2 hot pockets so only microwave is being used

>>16122796
Shit like this is why I realized sometimes it's best to just lie. At any given moment someone will come and add 40 mins onto your shift and your only defense is to just flat out lie. Semi unrelated, while trying to close at UPS someone came in at the last 8 minutes of the day 7PM to do an international shipment that would have been about 45 mins of weighing, paperwork, not even factoring in the people who tend to back out at the last minute when the price is upwards of $300.

Telling them
>We shut the register down early today
Fuck that. Working there gave me a whole different kind of insight, and I'm no longer the person that will order at 11:28 PM right before the place closes.

>>16123067
Yo honestly just realize that working in any kind of customer service position pretty much means to everyone else that you're subhuman trash and don't deserve empathy and that you may as well start playing the part by being a devious and lazy piece of shit because regardless of if you do the actually "crime" you're still going to get "charged" in the end.

>>16126636
>t. salty BOH nigger that barley made above min wage
Have fun in the dish pit Jamal Hernandez. Only whites are allowed up front

>>16126636
this is one of the worst larps ive ever seen
why would you brag about bringing your kid to work and having it shit on the floor
not only that but i have literally never worked in a restaurant that dug into FOH's tips for anything, let alone a diet coke refill
do you work at fucking mcdonalds

>>16126658
plug in that air fryer, tots, fries, tendiessss

>>16126375
They used to slip me bevys for food but we have bar metrics now so they don't, so naturally I don't like making FOH food.

>>16122988
There is no pre-close. Open hours are open hours if someone rings you up at 9:59PM despite you closing at 10PM then YOU MAKE THE FUCKING FOOD OR FIND ANOTHER JOB!

>>16127495
>Sorry the kitchen has already begun packing down as it has been an extremely slow night.

:^)

>>16127517
Then I walk up and speak with your manager and if you say you're the manager then I contact the owner of the building you're in. You're not weaseling out of work around me cunt.

>>16127522
>I then get the big Maori to escort you off the premises, whilst telling you to try dominos or McDonalds.

:^)

>>16127552
I unzip Maori's pants and give them oral sex in favor of making you COOK MY FUCKING MEAL!

>>16125421
Because they're front of house, probably.

>>16127561
>no

:^)

>>16127583
*teleports behind you*
You will cook my meat...

>>16127570
FOH will steal food if it's ready to go anyway, ie brownies, ice-cream, Persian fairy floss

>>16126727
>only whites up front
correct, so get back to the back

>>16127603
this is un-ironically true, we've never had a minority on the pass our nepalese chef sometimes grabs dockets off pass if we're busy but they don't stay, nor do we have an uggo on the pass ever unless we absolutely have no choice.

>>16125424
I wouldn't wipe my ass for less than 25 an hour.

>>16125424
what's the share. how we do it (and its fucking cringe as fuck) is however many employees are on for the evening get it split between them all (3-4 front on week nights, 6-9 front weekends inc fri) but kitchen no matter what always counts as one person (team ranging from 3-6)

I work FOH at Popeyes and send joke orders back all the time when they shutting down. 10 orders of 6pc tenders with 5 mins till close, each order with a different side, after they have already started packing everything away. I only do this once or twice a week, so they don't suspect it's me

>>16122970
>Work 16 hours and can't even eat an apple
>Bitch is here 5 hours and wants you to make them free food

>>16127872
its worse when they don't care that they order shit when your obviously getting pumped and then pester you where their food is

>>16122766
>a group of people sit down for 30 minutes only to order meals within 1 minute of closing time
when this happens i dont actually immediately make the meal. instead i find the fucking BITCH waitress who allowed these animals to order so i can give her a hard time.

>>16128037
Always the cycle. They get flat sat, ring in the entire restaurant at once instead of trying to trickle in orders, then get huffy when it's taking too long (or too fast because they're too slow to set silverware)

>>16125421
Letting FOH staff on the line is a big mistake.

>>16126458
>fucked the female waitresses
>female waitresses
As opposed to all of the male waitresses.

>>16126375
>they work too hard
what are you talking about dude
niggas spend half the shift staring at their phones and eating instead of going to customers or pre bussing, causing us to be short on plates during busy as fuck days

>>16122766
>Line Chads demand free drinks at the bar after the kitchen closes
>Can't close the bar and go home until they finish drinking
>Most of the time they keep drinking, for free, until the sun rises
Line Chads, I kneel

>stupid fort year old cool wine aunt type vegan lady is a waitress at the restaurant where I cook
>Always sending back ridiculous, heavily modded, off menu orders, and always in the middle of a rush
>Always bitches if it's not made within five minutes, or if we plain old tell her we're not making it
>Tries to order hummus, which we neither make, nor have the ingredients to make, in the middle of mother's day brunch
>Actually stamps her feet and throws a tantrum and carries on like this until first the chef, then the rest of us joining in, started throwing eggs at her
I love being a cook, so God damn much.

>>16128863
this is why i could never be anything other than a cook lmao

>>16128863
wait you throw eggs at a waitress during service?

>>16128889
Yes

>>16128893
>yes

>>16128893

>>16128813

man i had the comfiest job at a fast casual place cuz everyone was so tight knit and the owner let us just destroy the bar every night after our shift then i went into fine dining and now i havent been able to get fucked up with my line bros for free after we close :/

>>16123067
Why work like that though? Why not do 8 hour workdays like normal people?

>cleaning kitchen at end of day.
>10 minutes before closing.
>entire fucking bus full of soccer fans pulls up
>management tells us we can't let this profit go.
>they stay until 1 fucking am.

I was mad as shit.

>>16126658
p smart desu

>>16129236
Make hay whilst the sun shines anon.

>>16122962
>>16125421
>Why can't the employee make their own food?

Or bring their own fucking food to work. Fuck those stupid whores. Make 7k a night for a few hours of moving plates to and from tables.

>>16122766
Employee meals are reddit

>>16129236
When I was a wagie I was always excited about overtime opportunities.

>dumbfuck customer calls for 15 straight minutes as our restaurant is about to close
>all of us working just know not to answer
>we all get to go home early

>order comes in 1 minute before close
>table of 9 with starters
>head chef flips the fuse switch for the kitchen
>tell waitress we cant cook, kitchens broken
He did it a few times and always blagged that it was faulty and it's been on too long

>>16130744
Good goy

>>16131662
Same here
>they leave a review that says:
>nobody ever answers the phone, terrible customer services!!!

>>16131770
based, my EC would probs do this if the bar manager wasn't a dick head that min maxs like no tmoz

>>16122766
>>16122962
So it hasn't occurred to you to ask them what they want before you start cleaning up?

The Pollo Tropical near where I live just puts the "caution wet floor" signs in front of the drive thru to block the shit so they have to do like 80% less work because almost nobody goes inside here. I can't even hate that hustle if I was working fast food and could get away with making it significantly less work I would.

>>16122766
i always make my staff meal ticket look like a regular order. problem, kitchen fags? if you cunts even think about complaining im making a mess in the kitchen after you leave

>>16133025
See operator name on docket and your fucked lmao. If every table has had mains and/or everyones gone your fucked also.
>B but I'll make a mess!
What are cameras? How to lose job? Whole kitchen vs one FOH good plan convincing the manager that BOH left it messy.

>>16133103
do you actually have cameras in your wage slave kitchen? TOP KEK. no wonder you're such a salty little faggot. the whole kitchen staff are my drinking buddies and secretly they all hate you

>>16133130
Do you blow them???? Thats surely the only way your maintaining that 'positive' relationship

>>16126703
>Used to work as a waiter while studying
>Get treated like trash
>Studied for IT server and user management
>Still get treated like trash because people think we have to provide a service and takes this whole "customer is always right" mentality to work
I'm seriously considering switching career to land surveying.
