2 or 3 oz of steak. Filet?

2 or 3 oz of halibut.

Potatoes scooped from a 2 oz scooper.

Squash, zucchini and carrot. Poorly trimmed. Note the stems. Cheapest veg for banquet dinner.

Sauces from a can, and thin as hell.

This probably cost them 20 a plate, and three guys to plate the whole shebang. Imagine paying 1 million dollars to get fed worse than a budget wedding.

Didn’t notice until he said “You lose your hat or something?“. I tend to keep private about my life so this was an embarrassing moment, but at least nobody thought it was a big deal. I blame my gay husband for buying it

Oh no, so you're telling me you only made $58 an hour with your base pay? Please, tell me more.

P.S. I do generally love the servers I work with, but this will never not bother me lol.

Then you come across this video. 16 year butcher here and I have studied this video so many times.

This came in as soon as I opened to work a solo double at the food truck I work at. The door dash delivery driver showed up 12 minutes early and started hounding me to get it done faster, I literally told him "you need to wait, you don't understand how this is fucking my whole day up" while thinking this fuck is going to get a $30 tip to drive this food 5 minutes when it took me 40 minutes to put the order together and I'm getting no tip. 12 hours of a shift later and I'm still pissed off about it.

I’ve worked in many kitchens in my life, both front and back of house, all with bad customer stories. But I had a collection them in my time working at Whole Foods.

1. When I worked at the juice and smoothie section, we allowed customers to buy produce and bring it to us. One time this lady bought raw sweet potatoes and ask us just to do sweet potato and almond milk. I warned her that it wouldn’t be very good, but she was insistent. She took and was disgusted, and then was mad at me for making it. Unfortunately, the only thing I could do was warn her.

2. When I worked in the prepared food section, I saw someone ladle out a sample of the soup in a container, take a quick sip, then pour the remaining portion of the sample back into the soup.

3. Again in the prepared food section, we had a nasty freeze that took down the electricity. We had a skeleton crew working our asses off to put all of the frozen and dairy products into refrigerated trucks until the power came back on. There was a decision by the store manager to close down the prepared food section, even if the electricity came back on. However, the electricity came back on much faster than anticipated so we went on business as usual and started making food. A customer came in not 5 minutes after the electricity came back on. He was really pissed off that we didn’t have food ready. I watched him scream at our store manager for like 10 minutes after she warned him we didn’t have anything ready to go just yet.

4. Again and prepared foods, I worked at the taco stand. We were meticulous about vegetarian and vegan orders. We would label them with extra care and kept all the food isolated from all the meat products. This guy ordered a vegan breakfast scramble and grabbed the wrong container and ate one that was full of pulled pork. He was furious with us, screaming at all of us how he had been vegan for 20 years and how now we’ve ruined that for him. We thought that we had missed labeled it, but it turns out he grabbed the wrong container for another customer. Still after we pointed this out to him, he blamed us for not taking more care to label meat products as meat products.

5. Again at the taco stand, we had just tossed out our breakfast stuff for lunch/dinner stuff. This guy demanded fresh breakfast tacos. After the cashier explained that we couldn’t do that but we had some remaining premade breakfast tacos, the customer started pelting her with the premade tacos with full force (and was kicked out of the store). It was so absurd I couldn’t help but laugh.

I'm not sure if this is appropriate to post in this sub, but I'm devastated and just wanted to vent. A man that I worked next to for 7 years just got picked up by ICE at his other job. They raided the place and blocked both exits, took his wallet and phone and took him away. He is on his way to Miami right now to be deported. All I've ever seen this guy do is come in and bust his ass and do a great job. Between his 2 jobs he works 80 hours a week and was the fastest and most consistent guy on the line. Again, maybe I shouldn't post this but I'm crushed. Hearing everything about ICE it lingered in my mind that something like this would happen, but it's still so shocking that it did happen. I may never see him again and he was a good friend and somebody that everyone else looked up to because of his work ethic and friendliness. It's a messed up, unfair world we live in.

What are your guys thoughts. I know mine.

I said do whatever you want, come up with something cool it’s just for the concierge lounge tonight. This is what they did.

Following up my post from yesterday on my head chefs excuse for a veg stock. Today I made a proper one 👌. This is what I’d say is the most common sense method 🤷🏻‍♂️. I hope this isn’t new info to anyone here🤞

Roughly chop your onions, I like a varying of size, so some take longer to break down - then lightly sweat them off. Add more aromatics like chopped celery, leeks, carrots, garlic and herbs - preferably thyme and rosemary. Let those guys get to know each-other in the pot. You don’t want to brown the veg too much as it will make the stock too dark. Fill the pot up with cold water, add whatever trimmings you have from preparing your veg, and bring the stock up to the boil, then leave to reduce. About half way through i add a bit salt, and after preferably 5/6 hours, pass the stock and you can reduce it even further for a more intense flavour.

Let me know if you guys make it any different 🤗

Some how they used the wrong filter paper, should have been the filter bag. They essentially ran this thing without filter, on two units. One thing about stuff like this is its job security 😂

😅 there's gonna be hell to pay. But also Jesus Christ this things more of a skewer than a knife at this point. Clearly they don't pay their butchers nearly enough.

(I am not OP)

On a scale from 1 to Even I just Can’t…

Finally got a new fryer at work. Turned it on and this happened. The other fryer is also on, never seen it do that. It also has some black smoke and weird smell coming out. And everyone freaked out about it. I secretly think it might just be burning off some factory debris or coating or something in there.
