/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>9706288
That just means no union workers, not an indication of actual rats.

>>9706288
that's the rat from the show difficult people

If you are in a restaurant it is shitty food. No one goes their to eat good food but because they are lazy.

>>9706288
>It's Friday evening and there's only a few people eating there
>Staff is slow and unfocused
>After getting my sandwich, they forget to give me fries, then it turns out I have to wait for them to cook more
>Open containers of sauce are developing a skin on top
>One table is covered in trash despite there being several workers just standing and doing nothing
>Music is loud as fuck, can barely hear the person I'm with when we're talking during the meal

That was last Friday, I'm not going back to that place again. Most of the workers looked and acted like they were on benzos or opioids.

No chicken tendies on the menu.

Its a area where they got their own parking lot, or shares it with nearby stores, and there is actually a lot of parking space.
And there is barely any cars there, during whatever is the prime time.
So basically around 11, maybe 12, and some time in the afternoon.

Now, it doesn't have to be true, but the opposite is generally true: If a place has lots of visitors, its food/quality is generally good.

>>9706292
It doesn't just mean no union workers. It means the establishment in question pissed off the union to enough of a degree that they're protesting it. And while I support labor unions in theory my experience with unionized workers has really soured my on the idea. They tend to be arrogant, entitled, overpaid cunts who half-ass whatever they're paid to do. So while I think unions provide an important (even necessary) check on corporate behavior I really don't give a fuck about them in practice, and would happily patronize an establishment with a giant inflatable rat outside it and a bunch of jerks hanging around trying to intimidate the customers.

>>9706597
>>9706288
why are these always outside Chick Fil A?

>>9706612
A company that refuses to unionize in spite of employee interest?

>>9706597
I'm union and I work in a place that is primarily union, they have put this fucking rat up in front of our place because that one time we didn't use union labor for this tiny project. They can go fuck themselves.

>>9706636
I've been union for a year once because I had to for the job I took. I appreciated how the union took care of the old guys who had put in their time. But fuck was the union out of step with the times and my own interests. Glad not to be working that job anymore. Think I still owe a couple hundred dollars in work dues to a CA local, but fuck them. Protip: dues are voluntary. You don't HAVE to pay them.

>>9706675
Being a union member is a condition of my employment here and thus my union dues are mandatory.

>>9706689
Here's hoping your union is better than mine was.

"apple slices" is one of the sides

Unions are just political machines, stop feeding the REAL rats

Few years back, union protests were all over the place where I live. The plumbers' union were protesting a children's clinic for installing new toilets without using union workers. A new shopping development went up and builders were protesting the new Wendy's. Finally, a new coffee joint opened in the renovated first floor of an early 19th century office building near my old office. The tile-setters' union was protesting them, too. As I passed by and saw the protest, I told a union guy "Well, I didn't want coffee but now I do. Thanks for letting me know the place has finally opened!" and hobbled my way inside to buy an overpriced cup of a very bad brew. On the way out, I spoke again to the union guys: "Maybe you'd find more work if you spent less time protesting and more time looking, have you thought of that?"

I can talk shit to most people and few're gonna do anything about it cuz no one wants to be on the news and social media as the guy who assaulted the helpless cripple. Disabled privilege is real. (:

>>9706828
While I am glad you put those union workers in their place, I will absolutely look down on you and call you a cunt if you were being cuntish, disabled or not.

>>9706854
I appreciate it, seriously. Many disabled people are coddled to such a degree that they're even more spoiled than the worst high-WASP or JAP girl. I'm not that bad, but know I'd pussy out and wouldn't have the balls to speak out about most of the things I speak out about were I able-bodied for fear of getting beaten to a bloody pulp.

>Previous people forgot a scarf
>Waitress pulls the scarf,almost throws my grandma to the floor

>Brought me the wrong thing, grandma's fish was completely breading
>Finally brings me my chicken half an hour after grandma finished eating
>It's floating on some nasty sauce
>Take two bites and ask for the check, leave no tip what an awful experience

>>9706828
In NYC that kind of behavior would have earned you a beating.

>Someone outside handing out flyers
>Someone outside trying to get you to come in

>Pictures of the food

My favourite restaurant has recently added pictures to their menu
>Mfw I wouldn't eat there now if it was my first time going

>>9706885
It hasn't yet, but I'll letcha know if that changes.

>>9706895
Many of my favorite restaurants don't even have English on the menu, or if they do it's in smaller print than the language of where the cuisine hails from.

>>9706937
Don't try that shit in South Brooklyn or SI.

>>9706597
My wifes store had this rat and some union guys outside for a week and they harassed her and the other low level employees because the company used non union labor to remodel the store
If you want to bitch to the company thats one thing but yelling at employees who had nothing to do with the decision is shitty

>>9706956
Unions really are just domestic terrorists. So fucking glad my state is right to work.

>>9706959
>So fucking glad my state is right to work.

I wouldn't go that far. I see how some of you in those states are treated. When you make the game 'everyone for themselves' things tend to slide to one extreme end or the other.

>>9706938
Fair point.

>More than two languages on the menu
>Menu displayed in more than two languages

By this I mean, the national language and the country the food is from. Anything more is too much.

When I went to Venice recently I saw a menu with English, Italian, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese

>Traditional Italian
>Mfw

>>9706959
Unions are like women’s lib. Once needed, now unnecessary but you can’t get rid of them

>>9706967
>When I went to Venice recently I saw a menu with English, Italian, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese
That's a clear sign you've mistakenly wandered into a tourist trap.

>>9706975
Close. I'd argue both are still necessary but neither have kept pace with the times, so they do poor jobs of serving the people whose interests they claim to represent.

My melanin-enriched friend, I've said more than that to working class Bensonhurst eye-ties with no reaction beyond a 'fuck you, buddy' here or there, spoken as rage seethed from the guy's eyesockets. No one wants to be the guy who assaulted a defenseless cripple.

>SI

What happens in our cites eventually makes its way to you, though it may take the greater part of a decade. Things rarely if ever go in the opposite direction, except for people moving from there to here.

I call bullshit; There's no more Italians in Bensonhurst.

>>9707137
SI you might get attacked by junkies from needle park but who am I kidding? They don't work so you'll never see them protesting a non-union jobsite lol

>>9707163
There are still a few, but it's fast becoming an extension of Bklyn's Chinatown.

>>9707067
It also means you have zero rights as an employee, and can be fired for any reason at your employers whim.

>>9706288
The prices are in USD.

>>9706405
The solution to that is to either:
1) Go to a better restaurant (as you've established)
2) Go on your dates on opioids or benzos
Did that second one last week, was great.

>>9707385
not sure why you think we live in some kind of dystopian future where that sort of thing happens. The bottom line is money and companies spend a lot to onboard and train new people, so they arent going to take on that expense unnecessarily
workers don't get fired on a whim if they are good workers

everyone should have a right to work and do any job without having to pay for the permission of a 3rd party

>>9707385
Then maybe you shouldn't act in a manner that makes you get fired?

I was you four years ago. get the fuck out of there as soon as you can and go work in an office.

>>9706876
Why would you pay at all? Maybe it's because I'm 6 feet tall, big, and loud, but I've walked out before. I made sure they knew I wasn't paying and why. No waitress or 22 year old twink manager is going to fight a guy 3 times her size.

>>9707793
It's not a bad job desu. I over exaggerated a little for the laffs bit the owners are real nice people and the work is pretty easy and I get to run deliveries and I get paid cash money. Been with them for 5 years always as a part time gig and it's not a bad source for extra dosh

Also free food

>>9707817
UK? I've never heard of a white boi working for chinese takeaway outside the UK

>>9707826
Nah I'm a burger

I ate there one day and the lady just offered me a job when I was finished with my meal. She has the English comprehension of a 9 year old so I help out with the language barrier with her and customers sometimes.

I'm pretty much their only employee, some Chinese students come to help out once in a while when I'm not there.

>>9707690

>>9707850
people like sunshine, fresh air, and people-watching.

>>9707856
I can understand this kind cafe on plazas, but when it's near the road there is no fresh air, dust and smoke pollutes your food.

>>9709637
Get competitive

>>9707594
Not him but in my state that does in fact happen, hell I've known people who have been fired officially because of "downsizing" but unofficially because they aren't Mormon. And before you say that's against federal law, this is Utah, Mormons control everything including the courts here.

>>9709643

Not him but that goes against everything our system was built on. Up until very recently it was that you worked for the company and were loyal to it, and they took care of you in turn. This was a process that worked very well, and globalization took it away.

>>9706895
>Pictures of the food
Why is this bad?

>>9709643
>get competitive
>when the people you're competing with is immigrants who work for wages so low that it's literally illegal for you to negotiate to be paid lower and realistically would be too little to survive on
Competition is one thing, but you're asking people to compete in a race to the bottom.

>>9706288
>Mexican place
>California Burrito is their biggest item

>>9709676
Kill illegals. Being competitive means you don't play by rhe rules.

>>9707067
No, right to work means you can quit at any time without notice or reason, and they can fire you at any time without notice or reason.
Guess who gets a better deal out of that?
Right to work was the official death of loyalty meaning jack shit in the US.

>>9709666
Globalization has been nothing but good for everyone involved. Stop belieiving in nationalist bullshit.

>>9709676
If wages and prices were allowed to freely adjust with no government mandated floors and/or ceilings that wouldn't be an issue.

>>9707594
>workers don't get fired on a whim if they are good workers
They do if that whim happens to be "Well we fucked up our projections so now we have to fire people instead of the CEOs (the people responsible for fucking up) taking a salary hit.

>>9709690

>>9709696
>CEOs
Literally the most overused "evil" word these days. Corporate Executive Officers are just ONE COG of upper management. They aren't some mythical untouchable being. They get hired and fired just like anyone else.

>>9709693
>If wages and prices were allowed to freely adjust with no government mandated floors and/or ceilings that wouldn't be an issue.
That's irrelevant when bringing into the equation people that legally a company can't even hire.

>>9707850
It was originally done because corner cafes wouldn't have any seating space in the building, then it became a method to separate smokers from non-smokers, nowadays it's just there for decoration and they are now most commonly found in gentrified areas that are heavily laden with overpriced San Francisco-bred microchain restaurants.

>>9709699

You dirt people are determined for fuck each other over.

>>9709699
Be mad all you like.
But also realize I am right when you hear employers bitching about turnover when they pay shit wages and fire people to cover their dumb business decisions.
>>9709702
The context I used it in was obviously to imply that those who decide to do layoffs are often the ones who made stupid business decisions which necessitated them in the first place.

>>9708491
Didn't know I was talking to a cripple.

>>9709688
>Being competitive means you don't play by rhe rules.
That's literally not true, otherwise business schools wouldn't be required to teach ethics. Just because a lot of people don't play by the rules doesn't mean those rules aren't important. Otherwise you're giving others carte blanche to fuck you over on the assumption you'll do the same to them. Even though cooperation allows both parties to achiveve more.

>>9706288
I don't remember these being a thing when I was a kid.
>started in 91
Oh, so they actually weren't a thing back then

>>9706828
Your quite a charming fellow arnt you?

>>9709722
Every college is required to teach ethics.
Doesn't matter if it's business or STEM or fucking basket weaving, they'll shoehorn ethics into your graduation requirements.

>>9706828
It's because God fucked you over harder than any of us ever could, why bother. We can't compete.

>>9709743
Maybe that's because ethics is actually important to a society so it doesn't have a populace of sociopaths.

>>9709747
>we can't compete
it certainly doesn't help that you're union, either.

>>9709753
I'm not, I'm a neet that lives off inheritance. But at least my body still works.

>>9709696
CEOs could take no salary at all and it would be insignificant once it was spread among all the employees
if the waltons took $0 and gave it to the employees (that's all profit from 51% of the company) the employees would see a 1 cent per hour increase

I had a ceo get fired during my time at a bank. He closed a local call center and outsourced it, the employees there were offered jobs in other areas n the company or they could take a severance package which was 6 months salary.

the CEO who authorized that was let go when the whole call center outsourcing project was bleeding money by missing employee training deadlines and the quality of the service took a nose dive because it was sent to fucking Baltimore of all places

>>9709751
Not that anon, and I completely agree with you.
But we already are a nation of sociopaths.
We are just sociopaths who know that if they get caught they might be fucked, depending on how powerful and wealthy they are.

>>9709764
Not him but it's just bad PR for a CEO to give himself a bonus after huge layoffs. Even if the two things are unrelated, to the average person it just looks like corruption.

>>9709766
>if they get caught they might be fucked, depending on how powerful and wealthy they are.
Weinstein showed it literally doesn't matter how powerful and wealthy you are if you don't stop doing the bad thing.

>>9709751
More like so it doesn't have some chunk of marginally better educated sociopaths.
I haven't heard of any high school curriculums with ethics.
You underestimate the number of people who haven't actually had higher education. Excluding tradies.

>>9709658
>living in Utah
I'm in Idaho but most people here grew up mormon but stop going when they hit high school and become alcoholics. Even arizona is better as the Mormons there hate each other.

>>9709766
>But we already are a nation of sociopaths.

We aren't though. This may sound strange but the reality is we care too much, primarily with politics. I blame the creation of 24 hour news networks and people caring too damn much about politics. Historically, democracy works best when people aren't constantly obsessed with politics all the time. And no I don't mean in the "keep the people ignorant" sense, it's just that when people don't think the world is in constant crisis, they tend to not make kneejerk voting decisions and see everyone with a slightly different opinion as the "other", primarily because they didn't even know that person had that opinion.

There's a reason the old saying is that if you want to keep lifelong friends, never bring up politics or religion.

>>9709781
That's harder when you're smack dab in the center of the religion. That gives a lot of social pressure to not leave because of ostracization.

>>9709764
>CEOs could take no salary at all and it would be insignificant once it was spread among all the employees
That isn't what we are talking about.
We are talking about companies firing people, cutting benefits, etc etc to recoup profits instead of taking the hit that rightfully belongs to the upper management.
Why are you even talking about wage distribution when that clearly isn't what is being discussed.
Your anecdotal evidence doesn't cancel out the reality that more often than not, the employees of a company suffer for the mistakes of those above them rather than those people who made the mistake.
Gambling pensions on the markets is a good example of this, despite it being the low hanging fruit.

I'm not trying to be an asshole here, but if you seriously think you are going to convince me that the american worker has not been fucked to hell and back over the last 50 years by moneyed interests, you are going to have a long night ahead of you.

>>9709781
The problem with Arizona is that most trade jobs here are sunk by illegal immigration.

>>9709774
>Weinstein showed
You think Weinstein is fucked?
How naive you are...
Sure, he'll never make another movie again, well maybe, Gibson trash talked Jews while working in hollywood and still gets roles, but I digress.
The point is that guy was set for life 30 years ago and that isn't going to change.
Like I said, if you are already wealthy when your career goes in the toilet, you still get to fuck off to some tropical island for the rest of your days, so at that level it really isn't much of a punishment to go into early retirement.

>>9709841
Do you plunder?

>>9709834
That's one of the entry jobs, but add hospitality, food service, and agriculture. I'm not sure if landscaping counts as a trade, but that's a big entry as well as a lot of other service jobs. The issue as I see it, though, is that it has a ripple effect on other sectors even if a sector is not considered to be directly affected.

>>9709784
You make a good case.
I agree about politics being entirely too all encompassing in daily life now.
Seems like every day another facet of life gets assigned to either the right or left, or often both by each other.

But I still believe that most people do what is best for themselves, regardless of how it affects those around them. Well, so long as those around them aren't aware of who is causing said effects.
I'm not the religious type, but I think right around the time Americans stopped depending on religion to guide them, the dollar stepped in to fill the void.

>>9707610
Good employees get fired or "laid off" (the difference between being able to get unemployment or not) all the time.

>>9706288
The food is prepared by Mexicans, or the restaurant sells Mexican food

No one learns anything form college and depth through breadth has been debunked.

He wont be lonely when he has 30% of Hollywood to keep him company. Polanski did worse and he's surrounded by friends eager to make kino

workers unions are good, if you don't agree, you're naive and you can enjoy working at walmart/mcdonalds at 30.

I learned a great deal from college, both directly and indirectly. I could've learned all the coursework stuff from books, but I wouldn't have known which books to read.

Your first statement is untrue, I'm not going to trust you on the second one. That said, teaching ethics to sociopaths is like teaching art history to the blind. It'll never be more than an abstraction, a memorize-and-recite exercise.

Vote Republican.

Oh, hey, that puts me in mind of something on topic. Politicization. A sign in the window isn't too dangerous, but if they're going overboard that's risky. Any food items mocking a candidate, that's your cue to back away slowly. So is anything blatantly sexual. Dangerous to eat things made by crazy people.

If a race to the bottom is unappealing(and it should be) then race for the middle or top and become good at a skilled position that Mexicans won't take away. That's what I did and I ended up in employment where getting fired is near impossible if you don't kill people

>>9706885

What, the soyboy fairy sons of real men who can't stand said bitchass sons are gonna do something? New York isn't hard anymore, homie.

>>9706828
As a unionized worker, a fairly proud one at that, this shit is embarrassing. If you're in a union, find some fucking work for fucks sake. Goddam bums think they can represent everyone in their trade with this cringe brotherhood shit. Problem is, they often do because the real tradesmen are of being real tradesmen.

>>9715532
>societally encourage raping women
Put to bed this fucking fiction son, nobody in modern america would go up to their buddy and go "yeah see that chick, I totally smashed her head into the wall until she couldn't see then I fucked her rough with no lube, dumb cunt" you've been pushing the definition of rape so far afield that it doesn't even mean anything anymore.

>>9717029
You're willfully ignoring it if you think so

>if the waltons took $0 and gave it to the employees (that's all profit from 51% of the company) the employees would see a 1 cent per hour increa
okay so .01*40hr/wk * 40wk/yr =3.60$ per year per worker

so does Walton's have 1000employees and make 3,600$ a year?

does he have 10,000employees and make 36k a year?
does he have a million employers and make a fair ceo salaray of 3.6million/year?

wow I bet ceo's get an even bigger share of the profit than I expected

>>9706288
here's a good sign: I'm eating in it
if you hear a sound coming from inside the diner that sounds like a rhino with diarrhea, then turn back

Fuck off with that, avocado is a legitimately good foodstuff and you're wack as fuck if you don't think halal has great good too.

I think he was referring to the union culture here, which has a reputation for being seedy, violent, and mob-connected

but hey don't let reality stop you from making sarcastic comments about stuff you know nothing about

>>9720101
There are really good Halal foods, but you know, sometimes you just want to eat peacefully without being surrounded by ISIS.

>>9719000

Blacks are the worst drug abusers.

anyone remember that one fancy restaurant where the chef talks about how he has you make your own eggs and when the eggs are done he adds a green sauce and garnish? what was it called? I can't remember for the life of me

Utah here also. I wish the Mormons controlled everything. They have a good amount of influence, bit it's really the Federal Government that controls everything out here.

You look at the menu and there are items labelled as Deconstructed.

>>9726926
What do you think all your fake food is made from? Soybeans

>The menus are laminated and have a fabric on the outside of them
>the fabric is stained with food and grease
>the fabric reeks

unless its southern food, a high density of coloreds is a bad sign

Any indian place with a stained tablecloth. A dirty tablecloth is pretty much universally a bad sign, but the food is known for being brutal on white fabric due to the turmeric, oil, and other spices. It's standard practice for indian places in developed countries to swap the tablecloth after every cover. A dirty one, or worse, a plastic one means they're being lazy as fuck. If they can't even keep the table clean, the kitchen's probably a shithole.
