Having a wonderful time working a shift that I’m technically unavailable to work, I have two more shifts this week that are on my “mezzanon cannot work these days” schedule.

The first time anyone shows up for a shift that he/she said well in advance he/she's unavailable for is the last time the scheduler cares or believes him/her concerning unavailability. I'm not saying that it's right and I understand some folks can't afford to risk their job saying no, but I firmly believe that's a lovely truth at most food industry jobs.

We had a snowstorm yesterday and two drivers straight up tapped out and refused to do anymore deliveries on the night.

That's a real gently caress move.

Why would I watch him do it? He has butchering skills on his resume, came from a decent hotel, staged well, said he could do it. If I was going to watch him do it, why wouldn't I do it myself? I have other poo poo that needs doing.

Always watch the new guy. Training is more than actual "training". It's mostly fixing bad habits people have from their old job. eg, that swordfish, lol.

was the cost of a swordfish more or less than a minute of your time to start him off (edit: or cut him off)

Go gently caress yourself? It was funny, stop trying to make me feel like a shithead.

Edit: yeah, I should have done it myself, or had one of my sous do it. I'm aware of that. Give me a loving break.

FOH talking poo poo here, but isn't that what training actually means? Teaching someone how to do the job they got hired for, no scare quotes necessary?

I didn’t get mad. I said “that’s your decision”. I don’t get paid enough to get mad. The gently caress move is working 5 of the 6 hours of your shift and then less than an hour before close refusing to do anymore deliveries and leaving the one remaining driver to take three triples.

There’s was 3 inches of snow on the ground and that’s not out of the norm for Canada.

I'm in southern Ontario and I just got home from having a fire outside at my buddy's girl's place and I'm wearing a t-shirt and (was) wearing sandals.

I'm from Saskatchewan originally so I'm still used to snow falling in August. The world is hosed up, yo.

Fun fact: I have to go to an award show today where I got nominated for server of the year. Is it weird that I think that that's depressing as hell? Doesn't it seem kind of inauspicious to be considered the best in a field that has a level of implied transience?

Yes to both. Or he was just taught wrong. Always watch the new guy with every task at least once during the first 1-3 weeks.


Now, if you hired him for management, well, good luck with that.

Would you take them at the cost of your phone blowing up with random bullshit for hours? If I was a specific kind of pervert it'd be fun to know all of my co workers shoe sizes, but I'm not that kind of pervert.

Also not a fan of blasting my phone number out to everyone I work with.

Edit: Yeah, it's turned creepy because a lot of people listed their shoe size and name instead of just whether you buy mens or womens shoes, and I'm learning coworkers opinions about the size of womens feet.

Oh boy, got a one star review on Yelp that I got pulled aside to get talked to about for "being inattentive" when I was by the goddamn table every two minutes but forgot to get them ketchup when they asked one time! Totally worth blasting the restaurant and calling me out by name over.

Yelp is a cancer.
