the back of the house.
This includes the kitchen staff and dishwashers.
Well, I like the young back of the house.
Anyways, this is today.
COOK: Is this fish even done? Only part of it is floating.
I walk over and look at it.
Meanwhile, the dishwasher just walks through the door.
I say, "yeah, when the white stuff comes out, it is done".
The dishwasher says, "yeah, that's usually how it works."
I love, love, love it. Haha.

gross.
I love how crude cooks can be.
I went into work for my paycheck on Wednesday.
I was wearing a skirt, and not a skanky one either.
It was a pretty cute plaid one and it had a bow..and that's not the point.
Today, I go into work and the cook is standing there and he's talking to me for awhile before he calls me over to the fryers and says,
"Hey, next time you come in wearing a skirt, you shouldn't wear underwear and we could have a quickie downstairs."
How romantic, and then before I leave,
"Hey rememeber what I said."
Haha, yeah I remembered, and I hope your girlfriend reads this. :)

5 Signs your manager is quitting on you:
1. She schedules herself less and less hours (despite being on salary).
2. She doesn't do her extra work, because she doesn't care.
3. She takes her husband off the schedule completely.
4. She calls off of work when there is no one else to fill her spot.
5. She takes all of her stuff home.
duh.

FAQ's
I don't know how many more of these I have, but these are just questions I've been asked...
Q1: I like my co-worker; do I go for it or just keep it a secret?
A1: Well, does your co-worker like you? If not, save yourself the embarrassment and awkwardness.
I'm the type that says just go for it, even when they aren't TECHNICALLY available. Haha.
Don't make a fool of yourself, because you have to work with this person the next day. Oh and the one person he told, and the one person you told just told everyone else and now the rumors are beyond fixing.
Good luck!

So..
I got a new job today. I will keep this blog going, because I'm still working in the restaurant number 2, as I will continue to call it for lack of confusion.
This other job is at a playhouse (they have shows and stuff there, like from broadway. get your head out of the gutter, my friend).
It'll be included in my other blog (see my profile).
Anyways, my last blog was about sending stuff back.
I need to check out this movie, and you should too, although this DOES NOT happen everywhere, in fact I have yet to see it.
well, not all of it, and I will explain this once I see the movie.
Here's the trailer, it's called Waiting.

FAQ's
Q1: The food I got sucked! What should I do?
A1: Tell your server. Most likely they will offer you something else. If it's a steak or a burger, the cook may be asked to fire another one on the fly.
Something to know about steaks and meats in general, when you order the food, many restaurants undercook it slightly to what you requested. This is done purposely because if you overcook it, you have to make a completely new one if someone doesn't like whereas undercooked could be put back on the grill and made to your liking.
As I cook I feel like you should always say something if you don't enjoy your food. You're paying for it, and we're here to cater you.
If you ate half of it, piggy, then that's just asking for a free meal! Say something right away to avoid conflict.
Q2: I'm afraid the cook will spit in my food. Will you spit in my food if I send it back?
A1: My question is have you seen Clerks 2 or something? Also, have you seen some of the ridiculous movies out there? Please don't believe everything you've seen.
Honestly, someone might spit in your food one day, but it's doubtful.
I eat out a hell of a lot, because I work so much. I would NEVER and I don't know a single cook who would ever do so.
I guess this is more realistically found in fast food joints, and typically there are people being supervised. Please don't refuse to eat out because of this.
If you want to send something back, always be nice about it. The waitresses will be quick to tell a cook/superviser about the pain-in-the-ass at table 11, but they usually will say "oh those people at booth 4 were very nice about it".
problem solved.

FAQ's
So, I think I'll give you some frequently asked questions I've been asked over my next few posts.
Some will be realistic, others sarcastic, naturally.
Here we go, my friend, and if you have any questions, just ask.
Q1. How much should I tip a waitress?
A1. There are many answers to this question, but I guess it depends on the type of waitress you get and the type of person you are.
Did the food suck? If it did, then you weren't eating my food. Haha, just kidding.
If the food was awful and you were upfront about it, how did the waitress handle the situation? Did she offer you options: new food, a way to fix it, did she offer to take it off the bill?
Was she friendly? Did she cater to what you needed?
Did she seem knowledgable?
Bottom line is, if you had a good waitress, you really should tip 15% of the bill. All restaurants legally must make waitresses claim their tips for taxes; most places [all places I've worked at] have their waitresses claim 10%.
That is the absolute minimum you should tip, if you have an awful waitress.
I mean, stiffing a waitress, despite how blonde is never recommended by me, but the situation definitely influences your decision.
I, as a restaurant employee never tip below 20%, but I haven't had the most awful service ever, so I'm somwhat biased.
