That's too bad Sandwich Anarchist. I loved that thread, you really cared about your coworkers and all the crap they had to take from TSA and single businessmen. Also that story about how you can eject one customer for harassing staff and that jerk can turn around with his friends and trash your restaurant's online rep.

Don't get me wrong you gotta protect yourself. Just saying I'll miss that thread.

I was just mocked and insulted for wearing a mask into a store. By the owner. As he served food from a hot case with no mask, gloves, or anything else. He asked how stupid I was. I just turned and walked out.

It’s where I always buy my beer and lovely deep fried food after work. At least it was, they’re never getting another penny from me.

Gloves are less safe than washing your hands properly, because if you're wearing gloves you should be washing your hands every time you put a pair on or take them off, and straight up no one does that. My regional health board suggests that kitchen staff should avoid unnecessary glove use and just step up the hand washing (even more than normal).

Gloves are required for all staff in contact with customers, food, utensils, etc. in my area's current restrictions and boy is it fun watching the front of house of nearby restaurants go from clearing dirty tables or taking cash/credit cards straight into setting new ones, serving drinks, food, and so on without changing gloves or handwashing. Also the way the city shutdown a street to provide extra outdoor seating is especially choice as it funnels foot traffic (like 25-50% mask usage, on a good day?) through the seated guests of two restaurants on one end. Eagerly anticipating a resurgence and further shutdowns just as yearly benefits maximum and the extra unemployment runs out for me and my coworkers.

The county that my story happened in never actually pushed any mask requirements of it's own through, so they weren't required until the California Gov made it statewide... which the county refuses to enforce because the governor is a democrat and for some reason rural republicans all seem to think this is a political issue instead of a public health issue. It also quadrupled it's cases in the last three days.

Me, it's the heavy duty waxed ones that poultry and some produce come in. Fuuuuck those boxes, as well as the fact that I've yet to have a place be consistent in telling me if it goes in the cardboard dumpster or garbage because of the wax. I usually got my daily frustrations out by jumping my hulking 120 lb frame on top of 'em until they were slightly smushed and then threw them in whichever dumpster had more room.

The worst ones for me aren't even something you see in a hospitality setting, it's the 4 pack box that Yellow Rose beer comes in. It looks like this:



Absolutely fantastic beer but holy hell the packaging is annoying. Why couldn't they just use 4 packs of tall boys like every sane brewery?

I remember ten years ago when Oskar Blues was one of the few microbreweries that had a canning machine and it was their whole marketing angle! I'm guessing yellow rose doesn't actually have the ability to can it requires a whole setup.

oh god these boxes, you're right. Imagine working at a grocery store that does those roast chickens. Back when I was doing the stocking those things were the worst. Because I had to haul them from the dairy storage to our kitchen, on a u-boat. The minimum was like, 10 a day, 50lb each.

That was back when I thought i was a guy though so they weren't terribly heavy. But it was repepetive. I always learned to trash them.

When I was working the taproom at a brewery and they started canning they hired a service that set the operation up, canned a whole bunch of beer, then broke it down.

Anybody have a good inventory application they use that's not integrated into the POS system? We've been doing it manually but we keep forgetting to order things because they get lost in the weeds.

We're gonna sort the spreadsheet by vendor, at least, but we'd really appreciate an application that can automatically flag items below a determined stock level, keep historical data electronically, and estimate usage based on that historical data (we don't need ideal vs. actual usage, so it doesn't need to track waste for now.)

I used bevspot for inventory and ordering it has just about anything I could need. Also several extra things I didn’t use because I prefer to do the accounting bit where they couldn’t access my data. I got it for a lifetime trial price at one bar for $50/mo. Then when we opened the next spot it was $100 per month. I think it might be higher now. It probably saved me 4-6 hours a week and allowed me to place orders remotely if I was out of town for something

It's less of an argument about bottles and cans, and that Yellow Rose seems to have deliberately picked the most annoying packaging possible. I'm 100% in favor of cans over bottles, but a bottling line is less expensive - so why the 16 oz bottles, and why the godawful cardboard 4 pack rather than the standard 12/6? The only answer I've been able to come up with is that they didn't really want to sell packaged beer and wanted to stick with on prem draft sales only but yeesh.

Been loving sending my wife to work crying every day, because I keep trying to calmly explain that if I keep working in a crowded restaurant every day, then none of the precautions we've taken will matter. So far, "well maybe I'll quit working" extreme anxiety and tears. "Well, I can go live somewhere else until this this blows over" extreme anxiety and tears. "Well, I've accepted my inevitable death..." extreme anxiety and tears. Great country we got here. Sticking on the go to work, probably die from it plan for now, but I don't really want to take her out too.

They lost their cool and shouted that we're making lots more money than usual so we shouldn't complain about the (mountain) of extra work and the constant scolding for not doing things right (every work protocol has changed and grown complicated)

We're making 'more money' because we don't have a loving host and we're overworked to total burnout in less than a month, and also we're not making more money because the company cheated us out of thousands when they forced us to accept a weekly paycheck instead of unemployment because they took a scam small business loan

This manager is going to get a very cold and rude awakening, really soon here

The owner of our place is being seriously depressive. It's been busy, like normal summer busy. We did just over £8,000 this Saturday alone; that's the the rent and bills paid for the month and he still wasn't happy.

I think the issue was more with FoH making mistakes, but we are all pretty fried. I've done 63 hours this week and some of the FoH have probably done a little more.
