Restaurant Work Stories

Mine is probably a bit on the mundane side.

>Be me, work at small fast food restaurant
>Notice the Dr. Pepper is low, so I decide to change it
>For those unaware, fountain drinks tend to come in boxes like pic, with a bag of the syrup inside
>Sometimes, it's easy to rip the tab open, sometimes they're bitchy; Dr. Pepper tends to be particularly irritating
>Tab doesn't rip properly, think about using a knife
>There's labeling on the box that specifically says to not use sharp objects
>"Pfft, I know what I'm doing," I think to myself as a lightly stab into the box
>It starts leaking
>Oh god, it's leaking
>Who could have possibly seen this coming?
>Frantically run to the sink, alert assistant manager to the leak
>Don't tell him it's me, naturally, just say it started acting fucky when I tried to attach the hose
>He looks at it for a bit
>"Oh, anon, I figured it out."
>"Y-yeah, manager? W-what do you think it was?"
>"See here?" He points to an area near the plastic bit that connects to the hose. "The seam is broken. Guess it must've been weak."
>"O-oh, ha ha, you're so right, manager! That makes sense."
>He manages to seal it with duct tape, sort of. The Dr. Pepper comes out extra foamy, but is otherwise fine.

It wouldn't have been a firing-level offense, especially since I was a pretty reliable worker (which is rare in fast food), but I'm sure I would have been reprimanded for being a loose cannon retard.

What about you anons?

Not a particularly interesting story but I guess I'll share.

>be me, work at generic Tex Mex restaurant as a server
>Have only worked for a couple of weeks so I'm total shit at the job and multitasking
>Monday morning, we're understaffed and it's busy as all hell
>have 5 tables with 4 people each give or take
>Overwhelmed. No one to help me due to how busy the place is
>Two dudes get sat at another one of my tables though I couldn't take it
>Hostess said she had to do it since everyone else is also very busy
>One of the dudes looks like Captain douchebag from the get go
>Try to move as fast as my novice self could
>25+ minutes have passed since table 6 arrived
>At least they have water.jpg
>Finally get to table
Douchebag pulls his sunglasses down and says "what the fuck took so long"
>Try to explain
>He interrupts with "how about we start with a cheese dip ON YOU and we can forget this ever happened"
>Food comes out but dude left
>He was on lunch break
>Feel kinda bad but w/e learn from mistakes I guess

There's not really much more than that to it, but working in a super busy understaffed restaurant, I was really feeling the heat. Needless to say I quit after a couple of years due to the terrible lack of organization at the restaurant among other things.

You are functionally retarded and you suck at life. You are doing the job of a teenager and failing miserably. Changing out soft drink syrup and fucking it up? God damn it anon, just kill yourself already.

I was a bar back. At the age of 16 I was changing out and rotating the stock of full kegs of beer; back breaking labor. Carrying a stack of of 5 cases of beer at a time to 3 bars in a mega restaurant to restock the coolers during busy times. Rotating the stock from the big cooler to the little one. Changing out the soft drink syrup was a trivial matter. Yeah, I did it. Never thought twice about it. You must be a drooling, mouth breathing retard to fuck up such a simple task. Fuck.

I don't work in food service any more. No, I'm not a boomer or a fucking millennial. I hate you all.

>Be me, teenager working at Mickey D's in 2006
>Dude comes in, asks for a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal, Supersized
>"I'm sorry sir, the Supersize is discontinued."
>"Discontinued? When did you do that?"
>"About...two years ago? It was kind of a big deal. Leno and Letterman did jokes about it in their monologues."
>he just looks at me blankly
>"Yeah, it was after Morgan Spurlock made that film, 'Super Size Me'. Where he ate only McDonald's for 30 days, and every time he was offered the Super Size option, he had to take it."
>blank stare.

>blank. stare.
>"I probably shouldn't have said that last part, right? About how our food is lethal? Not while you're trying to order that food, right? I probably should have just stopped talking before I got to that point?."
>...blank...stare.
>"...okay. So, Large Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal, that alright? Because I can make that happen. I can get you a Large Double Quarter with Cheese meal. It'll be [sum of money]".

And this is what happens when you put an autist on the front register, and amazingly, I did not get fired for this. On the long list of "shit I did not get fired from McDonald's for", this is #2, right after the time I accidentally threw a snowball into the manager's ear.

You know, this can't be emphasized enough. I've seen it tons and this is why I never, ever treat people like shit at a restaurant, any type of restaurant, even fast food. Always be nice, patient and forgiving to your server/cashier/delivery driver. They are going through hell every moment of every day at that job for shit money.
>Protip:
It amazes me how pleasantly surprised/relieved fast food workers are when you are specific and clear with all the information needed when making your order. "Hi, I'd like a large number 6 combo, with BBQ sauce for the nuggets, to go please." vs "Yeah uh, I want a nugget meal..." and then making them have to work for EVERY piece of info your dumb ass should already know.

I've rarely wanted to kill myself as fervently as I did when I worked at McDonald's, but that's long behind me.

And while I'm indeed very creepy, I'm not little, nor a wimp. I was the Xbox-huge aspie they kept on staff to push stalled cars and SUVs out of the drive thru. On a couple occasions I picked up a belligerent co-worker in a fireman's carry, took them outside, and very deliberately planted them in the dumpster. Then went back in and got back to work like nothing happened, to prove my dominance. That's #4 on the list of "shit I did not get fired from McDonald's for".

I used to throw my co-workers in a dumpster to make a statement, and management didn't come down on me for it because I was the most competent person in their employ, and you will never know what that's like, you fucking NPC.

Usually the cashiers handled those things for us, but there was one time I was sent to replace the syrup once. The restaurant was inside an old renovated home like most of the shops and restaurants were in the district, and to replace the syrup, you had to go into the cellar. There's maybe four feet between the floor and ceiling, they handed me a flashlight and said watch out for rat traps.

When I was working at Jimmy John's, we had two buses from a Christian Summer camp show up. They were kind enough to forewarn us a bit before they showed up, but it was a Sunday between lunch and dinner, so we only had five people working and one sandwich line open. Two registers were going though, so three was that.

At first, it was kinda stressful dealing with that many kids/customers at once, but in actuality, wasn't all that bad. The kids were pretty well organized and read the menu before ordering, and pretty much everyone working was on their toes. Only took about forty minutes to get through all of them, I think.

Thankfully, due to all of that and the smooth teamwork we had, it was actually kind of enjoyable.

Not a restaurant, but food related.

First job, Walgreens, work in photo (back when they still did film) i also have to stock and face the cooler and freezer.

In the freezer back stock is supposed to be stacked on pallets, to allow air circulation, assistant manager takes them home to make a table, freezer frosts up bad, assistant manager decides to use a screwdriver to chip ice off the cooling units, he puts holes in the tubing and all the freon leaks out, he passes out, had to go in a pull him out.

Manager shuts down the freezer/cooler, everything thaws, thermostat says 72 degrees, stays like this for 24 hours.

Gets fixed, coolant replaced, everything cools down and the stuff in the freezer re-freezes.

Manager wont allow anything to be tossed, nothing, claims it's just fine, only 1 out of 10 people will return an item, sales/profit/bonus more important.

Long 4th of July weekend, lots of sales.

Guy returns milk says it's sour (no shit), manager asks for receipt, he do have it, too bad for you.

Bunch of people got sick from some ice cream, District Manager blamed the distributor, I got a promotion to assistant manager at 18, since i kept my mouth shut.

Feel bad that people got sick, would have been living in my car if i had lost that job.

Worked in a 5* hotel in Kensington for a while. My worst moment was when I was taking a tray of cocktails to a table of 4 ladies and ended up tipping the entire lot over one of them.
It was a bride, her mother and 2 sisters.
Yes it was the bride who had a sugary shower, yes the £25,000 dress was ruined, no the photo session in Kensington Gardens had not yet happened.

It's surprisingly hard to diagnose level 3 (high functioning) autism accurately when they're still undergoing puberty. Unless they show very clear signs that move them closer to level 2, like severe sensory issues or anxious 'ticks.' I try to avoid making assumptions because if you get the wrong diagnosis, that person will be fucked up for life unless another specialist comes by and doesn't a 2nd diagnosis to correct it.

Up until around 2003, something like 35% (give or take, I'd have to look up the exact number) of autistic teens were diagnoses as bipolar because the symptoms are REALLY similar during the teenage years.

I worked at Chipotle in college for a few years. Behind the store was a golf course full of raccoons. A few of us loved spotting them digging through the dumpster. To attract more, we would put leftover food in bowls near the woods to attract them. We called it Coon's Cuisine.

I work at a Chipotle now, after years of real cooking. I tried to kill myself a few months ago, quit my job of two years, tried to work at a hotel for a less stressful environment, got bored too fast and got the job at Chipotle. Have kids barely out of high school trying to explain basic cooking and knife skills and food safety to me, and marveling that I can dice an onion, and yelling at me for not wearing a pussy glove. I think I'm going to do a better job of killing myself next time.

I respect doctors, surgeons, nurses, etc for the work they do. But to pull the "do you know who I am?" Card over something as Petty as getting your favorite brand of chips in a vending machine hints at a very, very deep seated ego problem. I see it all the time.
The most humble healthcare workers I've ever come across are black men and Asians of both genders.
Whites, black women, and Indians are the fucking WORST when it comes to job-related ego.
You would THINK that being in an industry that pretty much requires a college degree to get your foot in the door (except for positions like mine, obviously), people would act more dignified or whatever. Do you know how absurd it is to have someone pulling $200,000+ a year throw shit across the counter and have a screaming bitchfit because we were out of honey mustard for chicken tenders? Shit is Wild.

But also some of the best. Some of the people here would take a bullet for their patients. In fact, in a veterans hospital not too long ago, someone pulled a gun and started shooting. A doctor, a nurse, and 2 fucking JANITORS bumrushed the guy and brought him down, some of them taking bullets in the process. I don't know about you, but if I swept floors and cleaned up shit and vomit all day, I'd be the first one out the door if I thought I might get shot at work.

>have to carry literally 40 pounds of quarters, buckles, and dimes around because machines get treated like change dispensers
The fuck? I'm not supposed to use coins in a vending machine? Good luck with that.

>>12253117
No, dummy, lmao. I mean
>put dollar in machine
>immediately hit coin return
>get 4 quarters
>"yay, now I can do laundry"
Bill recyclers (equipment that holds the bill you inserted in stasis until you confirm an order, so it can return it to you instead of coins if you cancel) are still fairly uncommon, since most people keep their equipment until it breaks instead of updating it as newer stuff becomes available. So when you have hundreds of people doing this, every day, you get machines that have no quarters. So then people keep doing it, and end up getting 2 dimes and a nickle back. Then they feed this into OTHER machines to get a quarter back. This happens hundreds of times, so more trafficked machines end up completely empty of coinage. And when THAT happens, MOST (ethical) businesses make the machine shut down, or only accept exact change, if it can't give people change. So we're losing sales AND having frustrated customers bitching to management. Interestingly, the machines DO have a "short change" setting which will make it dispense the product but basically tell you to go fuck yourself as far as change goes.

You've got a magnetron pumping out microwave energy into the cooking compartment, which is a sheilded metal box, except for the magnetron. Thus there's nowhere for that energy to go except back into the magnetron itself, so it overheats and burns itself out.

I work in fast food (fast casual) also. The only time we ever had a microwave shit the bed outside of old age was towards closing on a dead night. We we're all high af on different shit causing a ruckus BoH so FoH told us to go to the back of the parking lot to chill for a bit. We got waaayyyyy more high and started to devise a fucked up plan once we found something along the edge of the parking lot.

We found a trailer hitch ball that probably fell off a truck, covered in rust. We we're all fucked up and busted up laughing because if you held it by the part that screwed into the truck the round section looked like the company logo if it was painted red.

Anyways we stuffed that bitch into what we all dubbed the 'prime mover' because it was only one out of three industrial microwaves we had to handle about half the food we served at this shithole.

Thirty seconds in and it hummed loudly for another ten seconds then popped and stopped working. Management had to go comp a couple people because they wouldn't get half of their food.

cross-training is probably one of the best kitchen trends to date. making sure everyone is competent on every station makes things run a hell of a lot smoother. my restaurant doesn't get nearly as busy, but we're one of the largest in the city, with a capacity of around 100 or so inside, and maybe another 40 in the biergarten, and we're a mile away from the downtown area, so parking is free (majority of it is street parking)
unfortunately, we regularly get large parties of people with no reservations (like 12 to 20 tops) on nights where there is maybe 2 to 3 people on the line.
fortunately, it's a pretty chill place, and the kitchen staff all gets along and treats everybody with respect (including the executive and sous chefs)
probably helps that weed is legal in my state.
