Animal-Mother posted:The walk-ins have been getting cleaned out these past few days. They have to give us 15 days notice if there will be a layoff. So maybe they're expecting we'll all take vacation time for those 15 days? That's certainly what I'll do instead of sitting in an empty dining hall for two weeks. They probably have to cut you a check for unused vacation time,so they'd rather not have to do that and pay you to sit in an empty dining room.

I will say that I hate the plastic full face shields that some of my BOH coworkers wear. I get they're supposed to be cooler in a hot kitchen, but the problem is two-fold: one, they really muffle and distort your voice. Two, the wearer hears their own voice bouncing off the plastic, so they dont speak/yell as loud as they normally would. The result is I can't hear or understand them for poo poo when they call for a drop or "behind" when I've got all my fry baskets sizzling, under a noisy vent hood. They're dangerous if you're carrying a hot stockpot behind me and I can't hear you because you sound like Charlie Brown's teacher in a fishbowl whispering "hot behind". Obviously not saying "no masks", I wear mine without complaint (and thanks to being a cook, I already had 673 bandannas when this poo poo broke out). But I do wish we wouldn't allow those.

They also do practically jack poo poo by themselves. They're for medical staff who are also wearing mouth coverings and what not to protect from infection entering through they're eyes if a patient coughs or sneezes in their face.

My KM is a very bizarre Trump-supporting lesbian (I still dont get that, either) who thinks masks are stupid*, and no one wears them before we open at 6 and close at 2. It's the industry equivalent of airport/TSA "security theater", we only go "shields up!" when we're open. *If I sneeze after making 15 lbs of dredge, flour and pepper everywhere, while wearing my mask, she feels the need to crack wise "Masks are really working! Keeping us safe!" and I have to chomp so hard on my tongue, I taste pennies

They're a splash guard, you're still spraying contamination out the bottom if you're not wearing a closer fitting mask beneath it.

Yeah, she's like Log Cabin Republicans, I just can't wrap my head around it. Also thinks BLM is a bunch of hooey, yet her ex --- who still works there --- is black. Shes, uh, a piece of work. She's in her 60s and went to Catholic school so my armchair psych guess is a whoooole lot of internalized phobia/hate. Anyways, enough about her. We finally got a 2nd fryer, so now I have 4 baskets. Being used to 2, just having a third one was a delight. The grill/flattop guys decided to play with 4th one, and started deep frying everything from their side. So today i tried deep fried: Fried egg (I dubbed that Fried Egg Squared) Country ham Bacon Brisket Hamburger (turns into beef flavored chewing gum) French toast (that poo poo was fire) Pancake (kinda like a big flat funnel cake) Garden Grown (our in house veggie burger) ...and a few others I think I missed By the time we deep fried an Atomic Fireball (and they grilled one, too, For Science) we were laughing so hard we were missing callouts for drops. Dare I say, I had... fun??? On a Saturday?! JacquelineDempsey fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Sep 19, 2020 |

Fryer bacon is good when you need it fast. Fryer peppers & onions is also hella valid, just be sure to drain them well either way.

The special this week is a panko-crusted fried pork chop with apple butter on a cheddar biscuit. It's pretty tight. All day I kept giggling and occasionally blurting "pork chop sandwiches!" when I had to drop one. Not a one person got the reference, leaving me to wonder if I'm old (that meme's from what, 15, 20 years ago? Some of my guys werent even born yet) or just the only terminally online person there.

I can sing "pork chop sandwiches" but its so deep in the recesses of my mind I couldn't tell you the source. Edit: I'm pretty sure I'm thinking about the "Frankfurter sandwiches" song now that I think about it. Still don't know where any of this old meme bullshit is from.

Restaurants here now have to register everyone who comes by, yet there's no masks, and not much in the way of capacity restrictions (try to keep st least 1m between each party). Public transportation is packed and maskless and most people have gone back to work so I don't think this will do much good.

It's been in place in my (most?) Canadian provinces. One person from the party gives a time, name and phone number. If your public health system isn't already hilariously overloaded then it helps with contact tracing if you can say who was in the restaurant at a time when there was a case and tell them to get tested.

Yeah. I'm in Ontario and that's how we're handling it. We've been asked to keep records of all groups that come in for I think 2-3 weeks?

Man, that sounds like such a pain for FOH, I'm sorry. Still --- do y'all ask for ID, or just take it on my word that my name is Mike Hunt and my number is (540) 420-6969? I guarantee that if this was implemented in the States, a good portion of your records would be absolute junk from the "the virus isn't that big a deal" types giving fake info. And if you asked for ID, people would be screaming holy hell that it's the lizard people Illuminati tracking your whereabouts and calling to boycott all restaurants. edit: I'm really tempted to call that number now and see if anyone in my city has it.

I haven't heard of too many people causing issues. In my own place, we're only taking dine-in by reservation so it's just the information we'd normally ask for anyway.

Names, contact information, the time and duration of their stay and if possible where in the restaurant they spent their time. It's to be used for contact tracing; it's still early days, but it seems like some places are asking drop-in guests to register with their online booking services before seating them. Norway.

My situation is pretty simple, since it's a members only club we've always had everyone's contact info saved in a database. The only changes we've had to make are mandating reservations and disallowing walk-ins and requiring all guests names upon reservations.

This drives me up the loving wall, do not label the jars "clean" and "dirty" Try 'sanitized' and 'used' instead, so that the jars actually reflect their intended purpose Someone using a pen doesnt make it dirty, for fucks' sake
