do you even work in a restaurant

I do, actually.

I get weekends off because my grandpa's recovering from a stroke and so they're giving me some time off for a few months to drive him places and take care of him and stuff

Why even work in a restaurant if you are going to bitch about petty shit?

Oh, I can't wear cute clothes or paint my nails and I smell like food. Grow the fuck up or get a different job.

Some of us love every bit of our jobs and think every sacrifice is worth it. Of course who'd expect a woman not to bitch and moan about every little thing.

>> No.5520846

oh my god relax. I probably love my job more than anyone. I think it's fucking awesome that I get to do what I love.

Excuse me for complaining about mundane shit that I'm not even angry about so others can laugh about their various inconveniences with me.

Actually work in a 2014 zagat rated italian place in NYC but okay

Also being overweight is really detrimental in an intense kitchen environment, so I try to keep in shape so that I'd be able to keep up in our kitchen.

gross. no.

back in high school, it was one of those cathartic things I'd do whenever I was stressed about stuff. I'd either paint my nails or I'd cook

I just cook or bake now to ease any stress I might have, but I do miss the whole nail painting process every once in a while

Alright, well, this was fun, but I'm going to head out for a run and then I'm off to work.

if anyone wants to post stupid, funny shit related to little inconveniences that come with working in a restaurant, please go for it.

shitposting's cool too, though, whatever floats your boat!

I'll be lurking later tonight, but I hope you all have an awesome day, /ck/, make some yummy stuff.

That really is the hard part. So much of the chef culture is working hard and then drinking to excess when you have a day off.

I mean sure it's fun to get wasted, but then you're at work the next day hungover not the least bit well rested.

So fucking true. I wonder if there's a blog just devoted to the shit cooks and chefs eat.

Bitch are you actually retarded?
Anyone doing cheffing properly has maybe coffee and smoke of some kind for breakfast, a quick little meal after lunch service and maybe some reheated shit after dinner service, or more often 6 beers/some bourbon.

>then gets mad when I tell him everything he's doing is wrong
Yeah i try to avoid giving out any tips to any home cook I know, better to show them or comment on the methods when eating with them.

Sure I didn't make as much money then, but it was a very comfortable lifestyle. If you can
survive the "hazing" and verbal abuse for the first 10 years, you'll earn the respect of the kitchen.
