If you have a passion for cooking, you'll probably just lose it by making it a job/career. I hear cooks say it all the time

I used to have a passion for something, completely lost it even though I no longer work in that industry

>>16860843
Too late anon, you're old and busted :/

>>16860304
reminds me of when I used to scare my fellow line cooks who run in the kitchen by showing up around the corner with a kitchen knife pointed at them, I'm glad they took it in good jest and not snitch on me to the manager

half-chub, your 6

>>16860304
Look at me ma! I'm dabbing on the tranny!

backs!

>>16860843
no, cook for fun and if you want to make money start ur own pop up/truck/supper club eat

in most restaurants you'll likely b working for ppl who do not know what the fuck they're doing, even if the head chef is good they'll constantly be at odds with retard owners who want to put dumb shit on the menu

>say behind you >1000 times every day

>>16860843
Don't bother, go right a cookbook or something instead.

What percent of BOH staff have been to prison?

>tfw you still hear the printer running, long after you've come home from a busy night, you just hear tickets printing as you try to force yourself to get enough sleep to open the next day
>Tfw you try to have a nice lunch or dinner at some other restaurant, but instead of peace and conversation you keep hearing their printer going off and keep jerking your head towards it like Pavlov's dog
>Tfw you try to take time off to get away from it all, but even in the depths of the woods in Wisconsin you can hear "ererererer"

>>16861245
LOL I hope you are saying that in Tom Delonge's voice because I do that shit all the time.

>>16862546
I am the only person who has yet to have gone to prison, in a kitchen staff of 15, but I've been on felony probation and have done time in county before that.

>>16860966

>going to go but its gonna make my shift harder i think, dont really know
work is my cope i guess lol

If you think you'll enjoy working in a kitchen because you "like cooking" then cook a meal at home and don't eat it. Then cook another. Then cook another. Do that for 10 hours. See if you still enjoy it. Also, while you cook, think about how there are endless other jobs that pay more and where you're not confined to a kitchen doing the same thing over and over.

faggot get off your phone and wash the dishes. and use the scrubber.

>>16863572
I don't work in a kitchen and never have. I'm smart enough to have avoided making that mistake.

>>16860883
Sadly this.
I'm one of the outliers that still cook for fun outside of work. But 90% of my boh bros don't/ avoid cooking at home because of burn out.

>>16863298
I'm sorry about your grandma anon. But it's not unheard of to bury yourself at work. My sous did that when his mother passed. I know it's damn hard to get time off since we're getting into the holidays but try the get some time off for yourself and to be with family.

>>16862552
I feel deep sorrow for those who work in fast food and are subjugated to the beep beeps of every piece of equipment. Thank god when I worked at Taco Bell in high school our manager was a chad and didn’t make us use them and instead would check the times himself and allow the food champions to work on our time management skills.

>>16863557
chopping veg can be fun though

>>16862552
God I hate the kitchen. I keep telling myself I'll learn a trade soon and get out of this shithole.

I remember working at a pretty decent restaurant when I was 18 it was my first job and the guy pretty much abused me to the point of having a crippling panic attack where I collapsed on the floor. Unfortunately I am now unbelievably autistic when I cook and must make close to everything from scratch and If I do something even a lil bit wrong I'll get infuriated and it'll ruin my week. I'm guessing this isn't too uncommon.

>>16863708
man I get this but with driving scrapers. I got abused for months by a boss at work, in the pub and at home. 24 hours a day I would be watched and 14-18 of those I would work. if I have a hose blow it doesn't matter if I'm on a site where carrying tools as an operator is instant dismissal, I have an intense urge to get out and fix it before I'm shouted at. the next job I had after that I used to hallucinate his car when I was tired

>letting some retarded faggot yell at you
didnt 4chan teach you anything

I'm still really early into being a line cook, but it's been the most enjoyable and rewarding job I've ever had. I'm sure I'll get burnt out one day but for now it's comfy life

>>16863862
I make more in a week now than you do in a month lol all because some guy yelled at me. being unable to take temporary inconvenience for long term gain is why your life is where it is

>>16863866
that's nice, sweetie

"you got here later today"
"my - my shift starts in 45 minutes"
"we need you early

>>16863589
>food champions
Is this THE most retarded and insulting name for employees, or are there worse ones?
