do you work in food? what are your biggest complaints about your job? let it out.

- no we don't toast it we are not subway
- no we don't have footlongs we aren't subway
- no banana peppers; not subway
- no steak either. not. subway.
- yes we are open. did you get inside? then we are open.
- the bags and napkins are self-serve. i'm not handing you anything unless you are actually crippled.
- customers who get the stickers stuck to the tables and leave residue, or cunts who leave trash inside our triangular promo table cards.

the #4 turkey tom is the most popular sub at our location. i don't like the turkey personally, since i have to slice it. whenever i open the turkey packs, i have to drain out the foul-smelling preservatives. permanently turned me off to the turkey.

try the #1 pepe. we are supposed to recommend it when a customer asks for a recommendation, because it costs the least for the store to make, but i recommend it because the ham is good. add dijon and cucumbers to it. #6 veggie is also good. add bacon to it ($2)

first time i went to five guys i had no idea i had to specify single or double patty. i find it kind of funny the default is double. america.

>>6990894
i totally agree our policy on substitutions is stingy. it's just set up to make us extra money. customer satisfaction takes a back seat. want a garg no turkey extra beef? that'll be two extra dollars sir.

we also don't do any sides except peppers. this i think is justified. we're not a salad bar. you can't have extra portions of all our veggies on the side just because you don't know whether or not your picky wife will like it. that's your problem. no sauce on the side because we have nothing to put it in. we charge for water cups too. i've made many people unhappy explaining these policies, all i can do is try to relate and tell them it's out of my hands.

there are customers who don't read the online menu and end up spending more when they could have saved money. i get orders like 4 turkey tom add cheese add avocado all the time. that's the #12 ya dingus. we won't let you know you made these mistakes either. we talk shit about you when we see the ticket too.

I work at a Wawa. Extra shit on your hoagie or sizzli will cost you extra, stop fucking bitching. Our coffee is prepackaged shit, and the flavored ones during second shift usually have been sitting there for hours. If you have a special request, I hate you. Don't leave your slip on the counter and complain when the guy on register throws it out, or bitch him out because you left it in your pocket while you were getting rung up. Remember, you're a customer, not our best friends, stop talking us about your personal issues, we don't give a fuck.

Just stopped working for Rally's

-No you can't have a Big Mac
-No we can't take the seasoning off our fries, they come out of the bag that way.
-The difference between an All American Cheeseburger and a Rally Burger is an AA has 4 ingredients and you cant add anything and it costs a $1. A RB has everything on it for $1.89. Sorry I cant add every vegatable on the store to your AA for free, becuase then it would be a different sandwich.
-Sorry did you say large FRIES or large SPRITE?
-Will I trade large cup of fries for a blunt? Fuck yeah I will.

Im the only white dude that works there.

I'm a server at Steak n Shake.

I somehow make 100 plus dollars on weekend nights serving people food in a sit down McDonald's.

I actually make more at this job than I made as an EMT and as a CO.

The only thing that I feel like truly sucks is the massive amount of niggers that flow through the place attempting to have a job.

it doesn't make me mad but it sure gets annoying. not as annoying as people who stand in front of the locked doors staring inside, knocking, waving, expecting to be let in when we're trying to close up and go home. two people have done this to me so far and i don't understand where they got off.

>>6992148
bagging every sandwich is a waste of time and money and we prioritize speed. the vast majority of orders don't need a bag. do you really need a bag for 1-2 sandwiches and some napkins? are you kayaking home?

the reason they won't deliver to you and are so stingy about it is because corporate has a list of streets and addresses inside the delivery range and when the auditors come they will check the delivery history they will subtract an insane amount of points for having delivered outside of your range. it subsequently impacts the monthly bonus salary managers receive. so not caring and delivering to you could potentially result in hundreds of dollars of income lost per manager each month.

sometimes night managers don't care (i don't since i'm not salary.) if we already took the order and made it before realizing, i will sometimes be the good guy and deliver it anyway, but i'll have the driver explain that we can't do it again.

Yeah. It's only annoying at most sometimes.

Like when you're getting destroyed and the other servers you're working with suck.

But then you count your tips afterward and don't care how pissed off you were an hour ago.

But good lord the only servers that cry about wanting a raise are the bad ones. Fuck off I don't want minimum wage I already make like 20 an hour. And usually it's servers at nicer restaurants that bitch.

I don't have a hostess, or a busser, or a food runner or even a dish washer 80% of the time and I still feel overpaid.

you can get around the delivery range easy with social engineering, just pick an address up the road you know is in the range, walk or drive over and wait there. if you get to know the drivers and tip well, they'll probably remember your name, and then you can just leave your real address in the delivery instructions. word it carefully as it has a character limit. drivers are usually just kids trying to make a buck, so they're pretty relaxed. the older ones are bitter, lazy pricks and won't bend over backwards for anyone.

All the JJ talk reminds me of when I was an EMT and my partner was asleep, I was hungry as fuck but couldn't leave without her, so I ordered Jimmy Johns and just opened up the garage and sat outside and waited for it.

Literally 2 minutes after I get my sandwich my partner wakes up and is like ohhh I'm hungry too and orders from the same place and it was the same deliver driver...

This whole thread is why waitstaff dont deserve a fucking dime in tips and why I am very happy that most restaurants and fast food places are either already trial running or are looking into automation.

Was at a McDonalds the other day and asked for a mcmuffin with no egg. Fucking waste of air nigger behind the counter asked us FIVE fucking times (IM NOT JOKING, FIVE TIMES.) what that meant, and they STILL put egg on it. $15/hour for that? Kiss my fucking ass.

I work at some Sandnigger place for a Jew:

-they try to open the locked doors and knock
>are you open?
No, if you bothered to look at the sign right next to the fucking door you'll see the hours of operation.
>it's like 30 before you open, can I get something please?
No, it doesn't work that way.

-I'm cleaning tables or taking out the trash.
>hey do I give you these or should we just leave it on the table?
The trash can is right there.
>are you serious it's full? it's your choice man.
The other one is right over there (equal walking distance from where they're standing to where they were eating)
>we'll just leave it on the table
I hope these people get heartburn, even though it is my job to bus tables, them holding their trash and coming up to me to throw it away for them is ridiculous.
>WHY ISN'T MY FOOD READY? I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR 5 MINUTES!!
You asked for the steak/special chicken/well done meat, it takes longer than the meats we already have cooked.
>BUT THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO ORDERED AFTER ME AND ALREADY GOT THEIR FOOD!!
Like I said, it takes longer because they have to be cooked to order, and they ordered stuff that can be made on the fly.
>Can I get the tea
Sure, I'll bring it in a couple of minutes
>Why is the teabag in the cup? It's too dark I can't drink this!
Okay, I'll make a new one and give you the packet separately, just give me the old one.
>NO ITS FINE NEXT TIME REMEMBER TO NOT PUT BAG INSIDE

that happens a lot. hotel dwellers see the jimmy john's topper on the driver's car up front, or the driver carrying a delivery bag, and they'll call in an order, driver has to drive back. it's their job though, they don't complain as long as they get tips. we do appreciate any business we get from free advertising.

there's a pharmacy in our range that does place individual orders all throughout lunch. when it's a place of business that does it, we get genuinely concerned at what kind of a sedulous, depressing workplace it must be that they can't even casually chat with each other about what they want for lunch..

I'm not a tea expert, but that's a retarded fucking complaint, so retarded that they should be ashamed for even using it to get a freebie.

Are you not supposed to press the tea bag with your spoon against the cup to get the most out of it? Have I been doing it wrong? How is not darker tea better? It just means you're not wasting tea bags.

you aren't supposed to push on the bag, no. it releases toxins from the tea leaves that noticeably affect the taste. embitters it and makes it leave a dry aftertaste. regular tea drinkers will notice. pressing also won't speed up the steeping process, but if you must, press very lightly as to just release the fluid from the bag. i spoon the bag out and use the string wrapped around the spoon to release the water.

experiment on yourself to experience what your service is like from the customer's perspective. think like this always and you'll be the best employee in your workplace guaranteed.

Every summer I've been working at this awesome burger restaurant in a tourist town. But my god I never knew how stupid people could be. It's like no one ever reads the menu.

>we state in bold letters at the top of the menu that you can any additional toppings (even big toppings like bacon, egg, avacado, etc) for no extra charge
>taking a customer's order and he asks "How much does it cost to add bacon?"
>we also offer 10 different types of cheese, there is no default cheese
>I go up to a table and take an order, customer says I'll just have a cheese burger with fries.
>what type of fucking cheese do you want?!
>get tired of asking more than half of the customers this that whenever they ask for just a cheeseburger, I automatically mark them down for cheddar on the pos machine.

It also annoys me to no end when people ask what comes with our meals. Every fucking ingredient is written out on the menu for every meal. holy shit people are so stupid.

>>6992399
i'm just telling my experience, my opinions, maybe i am wrong. i've drank tea ranging from cheap to expensive. the only difference in brands of tea leaves depends on the physical dimensions of the leaves. how they're shaped effects the dissolution process. flat leaves eliminate some of the hydrophobic properties of the leaves allowing them to absorb water quicker. so in theory if the leaves are all squished together in the bag, it'll steep slower.

i'd prefer to be served the bag and hot water so i can steep to my own taste.

I work in a grocery store. Not "food" in the way you're thinking of but still a lot of food there.

It's alright I guess. A lot of customers are pretty nice, some of them are very impatient. I just think it's odd when people get so mad when they have to wait an extra two minutes because an item didn't have a barcode on it. Also, paying with checks is pretty silly.

But one thing that really annoys me: reusable bags. I get they are better for the environment, but they are always more of a pain in the ass to handle.

I sort of agree, but to play devil's advocate, it's a very American phenomenon where people in these jobs are expected to be all nice and smiley. In most other places in the world, you're not expected to have to smile all the time and pretend to be happy.

It's pretty strange that people expect retail workers to actually be happy when they so obviously are not. It's pretty obvious there's just doing it for the money, so why so much pressure to be super nice?

I used to work at a chain called the montana club, it was decent food but over priced. The wait staff was paid regular minimum wage, therefore there was a small tip pool. I used to always hear people bitch and complain about getting bad tips, and it drove me up the wall. I would bust ass in a no a/c dishpit, trying to keep up with food covered plates that the waitstaff couldn't be troubled to scrape off for me. while moving plates and cookware to the line, waitstaff couldn't be bothered to move out of my way when they were counting their tips. I once had a guy tell me how he only got a two dollar tip on a 15 dollar bill. They would all brag how each server could make 100-200 a night on tips alone, yet the money I got each week from tip pool was about 15-20 bucks. Loved working with everyone except waitstaff, and Its made me a really jewey tipper when waitstaff could be doing better.

Sure but American service jobs pay a shitload more than say, service jobs in Brazil (the third world shithole I'm from), or service jobs in any other third world shithole (many of which I've visited). And the workers in those places generally greet you if not with a smile and cheerful helpfulness, at least an absence of passive-aggression

Honestly, might have something to do with service jobs in America being literal bottom of the barrel work, whereas service jobs in other countries compete for that position with manual labor, but hey, I don't want to need to take your subdued rage against a society that deems you and the job you work as complete losers with my fries, I just want my fucking meal without the attitude

So relax and take it easy. You sound exactly like the reason I don't tip. I mean come on, if I asked you these things I probably don't eat at Jimmy Johns.

that's a secret sandwich not printed on any menus but in every POS machine called the 'Dubbagutbustah.' a garg add all meats is more expensive if you don't ask for it by name. google says it's sometimes called the 'Noah's Ark.' another secret menu item is the 'Chuck Norris', just a tuna add bacon (not in POS machines.)

also not on menus is the Slim Bacon. it's just bread and five slices of bacon (formerly six) but isn't listed in the slims menu due to the low profit yields from bacon. this is why we'll never upsell you bacon. we also have yellow mustard packet sides that nobody seems to know about.

holy shit, all the time.

We also had a regular customer in our store who would get an "extra hot, ABSOLUTELY no foam, milk to the tippy top" latte (dead serious), and she bitched all the time about any kind of milk 'film' or bubbles on her latte, demanding her latte remade. She constantly said, "I don't know why I keep coming back here when you guys never get it right." One partner dared to take the lid off to show her it was really "to the tippy top" after she said it was not (without looking at it herself, because she could "tell by the weight"), and spilled it on herself.

I would always skim as much foam as I could and then top it off with boiling water. Fuck that bitch.

Our servers make at least 1k a week based solely on tips. And because most tips are in cash, they get barely any of that shit taxed

And then they think it's cool to complain to us because hey, at least we like our jobs, who cares if we get paid half the amount as a server just even though we work 3x as hard, right?

>people asking us if they could bring food on board, and the answer is yes, especially since we're right by all the boarding gates and anything you buy after the metal detectors you can bring onboard

Once, I was flying home from Dublin to Charlotte on US Airways (fuck US Airways btw), and had some Eurobux to spend up, so I decided to get an Irish coffee from a little stand right by the gate. I didn't think it'd take so long, but the cute Polish girl making it ground beans, made espresso, added milk and cream and honestly a pretty good tot of Jamesons, and by that time my boarding group or whatever had been called. So I grab it, thank the lady, and head on over to board the plane, to be told that I can't board with a hot beverage. I end up chugging as much as I can, because it was like a nine euro drink, but still manage to burn my tongue and not finish it.

Anyway, the moral of the story is you can't take hot beverages on planes, and that's fucking bullshit and I am still upset about wasting about half an Irish coffee.

we do have cherry peppers, just ask for the hot peppers. they blend with the taste of our choices in meats perfectly in my opinion. subway, as a custom sandwich shop, uses the milder-tasting banana peppers to complement their wider selection of sandwiches. they also have jalapenos which from my experience was the least popular subway topping. everyone loves our cherry peppers though.

ask for ez hot peppers at jimmy john's. less is more. they'll add a spicy kick but don't burn and destroy your meal.

The worst is when we have prospective members come in.

9/10 kitchen staff are Hispanic. We hide them all while the prospective members look, so it's all white guys in the kitchen when they're looking.

By the time they found out it wasn't white people cooking, theyd be down 40k for a membership and 15k for a wine locker, so it's either Mexicans cook for you and you deal with it, or -65k because you're a whiney entitled bitch.

actually the issue comes from lazy in-shoppers who don't know the system, who will hand someone their paid online pickup order with an open balance and let them walk out without clearing the order. sometimes there is an issue with the pickup orders, such as ones that show a 1 cent open balance, and being the idiots they are they won't know what to do so they just close the order window silently and let management discover it later.

a pickup order will also stay open if an in-shopper doesn't apply a tip/no tip (yes we accept tips on pickups yet it rarely happens.) at the end of the night i have to clear these open orders or else the software freezes trying to calculate its end of the day report. i usually do, sometimes i forget.

so you can do what you like, but online orders have to be paid for, pickups can't be set to be picked up after close, you're going to get bread that's nearly expired, you have to sit with the feeling that you made a handful of minimum wage teenagers go home about ten minutes later than usual, and if you want delivery there's an extra charge and you're also going to have to tip my driver. you'll be the loser at the end of your hilarious le ebin prank, trust me.

It's ridiculously rich white people in one of the wealthiest suburbs in America. They know that it's one of the wealthiest suburbs too, so it makes it all the worse for the workers.

And it's not so much that they expect it, it's that they see only white dudes in the kitchen when they check out the place the first time, and then see Hispanics when they actually join. I felt bad for the kitchen staff because they were actually really cool guys. We (well, the managers) basically pull the wool over their eyes until they fork over a membership fee.

I work at a golden corral, and you wouldnt believe how much of the food isnt even prepared there. Working at a fucking buffet sucks. Jesus fucking christ it sucks. And our regular customers are these awkward autistic disgusting assholes, or stupid fucking foreigners with extremely picky tastes that can barely tell you what they want because you cant even fucking understand them.

And then there's the fucking blacks. No sir, we don't have any more well done steaks as I was just mauled by the 20 member umbiwi tribe, each wanting 2 fucking steaks. They'll be ready in 15 minutes sir, unless you want a medium rare. Oh you dont like blood or any pink in your steak, well fuck you!

Not long ago, I was waiting at a place that was very slow and had a cheap menu (imo, considering the quality, portions, and state I live in). Now I've got a new job working at a classier place that's much busier and has a menu about twice as expensive, though the job is more demanding because my boss demands a greater level of formality and there's more pressure to perform well with these higher stakes.

And now the tips per table are holy shit, obviously larger than what I was previously making. Whereas before, a shitty tip meant the difference between going home with almost enough for rent or with pocket change, now I can finally see how the other waitresses I work with can actually support their kids with this pay.

One problem, now, though. At the other place, I could gauge my level of service pretty well. I knew when I'd fucked up and the customer gave me a light tip because of it and I knew when I'd given the best service possible and the customer was just cheap, as well as having an average of fair to good tips. But now I'm not sure if I can measure my quality of work as easily. Now even a "bad" tip isn't as disappointing, but I can't tell if I'm getting a low fractional tip because my service wasn't on par, or because the customer just thought their meal was overpriced, and so shaved down their tip to save themselves some money. This makes it harder for me to figure out where I need to improve and what each of my customers wants.

I'm trying to communicate with my customers to see how their meal is going, but you guys probably know about the amount of people that will just nod and vaguely say "good" when asked how everything is, only to have a complaint at the very end of the meal or when they go home to write a yelp review, when the server could've just fixed it at the start. And I can't believe the amount of people that come in to a nice meal at these prices and are already in a bad mood, and apparently spend the whole night fighting with eachother.

Why do you guys do it? Like the ones who are putting themselves through college I can understand, but why do others do it? Why waste your life?

I'm working in IT with my best friend and it's fucking great. Paid about twice what minimum wage is and literally have 0 complains about my job. Love to cook, so I do it at home.

>pastry chef at a fine dining restaurants
-destroyed social life. You know those times when people like to go and hang out with their friends? That's when I'm at work, making them food.
-most of the waiters are retarded, complain frequently about not getting enough money/when tables don't tip enough and don't know shit about food

>>6992113

sometimes we still have the door unlocked because customers are still eating, yet people still will try to come in well after we close and occasionally retarded waiters actually seat them because it's a great idea for the restaurant to lose money by paying people to stay to cook for 1 table.

>>7003461

I dunno, I have some irrational drive to keep doing it because I love having people enjoy my food and my dream is to have Thomas Keller yell at me for a living. I could always go back to school if I decided I wanted to actually make money or have a life, I have a BS in dietetics and biochem but I just decided I wanted to cook after I graduated.

Server here, sorry if you're question is just targeted at kitchen staff. I guess I'm just not jaded yet. If it weren't for this job, I'd be a NEET shut in, and so have a reluctance to gain other career skills and am still working in the same industry as my first job. I love food and being around food but can't cook well myself. And I like watching other people enjoy food and restaurant ambiance and hospitality. I feel it's good to be making people happy. I sometimes like to pretend that every customer is having their special night out (and know some really are), and it's my job to make it the best possible. I like catering at weddings because it feels like it makes me a part of making the best day of someone's life. I like living on tips so far because I like the satisfaction of being rewarded for a job well done. I get paid for what I provide at the amount the person I'm serving thinks is fair, which is something I couldn't experience if I received an hourly wage whether I did well or not. There are drawbacks, especially if your experience tells you most people are selfish entitled assholes, and I think I'll get burned out someday, but not yet.

My sister is in hospitality too, but not food. She works for a tour company and travels the world leading people on their vacations. My job is less glamorous (on the outside looking in, that is, her job deals with all kinds of bullshit) but same principle. I'm a romantic sap, but sometimes, it's like we're in the business of making dreams come true.

I have been. Keeping track of my paystubs and hours, tips too. My paycheck isn't matching up what it was when I started working here, and it's definitely not because I'm making good tips. It's been pretty dead lately.
The owner's a weasel and will lie his way out of anything. Pretty sure he should have paid for my car repair when it broke down on the shift (after being forced to use it, because the regular vehicle was in the shop). He said "I would swear on a bible that I heard you say it was okay to use your own car", when I would have said no just because my car can barely make it back and forth to work without problems anyway.
What other things should I be keeping track of?

I'm second in command of a famous chef restaurant here in my country, he's my friend and we invented all the plates together.

All our food is fucking expensive, and our clients are always extremelly rich, that's cool, we treat them all with respect, and our crew always put their best on all food.

But sometimes, those really expensive plates, we have to serve missing a few spices, even a few ingredients. We keep quiet, we serve 'em and they love it. Then I proceed to ask what they think of missing ingredient #1, #2 and whatever and they talk like it was there all along. I always thought that people willing to eat in places like this are a bit pretentious, but I'm pretty sure now.

So much of the business is about psychology. If an ignorant person spends that much more money for something, they can trick their brain into liking it more just to avoid feeling regret. You can serve the same dish on a silver platter in a mansion as you do on a plank of wood in a poor man's cellar and see the difference it makes in how much the receiver will gush about it.

Wealthy people go out to eat for the experience, not just the food. As long as they think it was worth it, they'll come back. But they also expect you to do your best, so you should always strive for that. You never know what people are thinking in the backs of their minds. You could quietly, or not so quietly, lose a regular and that'd be horrible for business.
