Arkhamina posted:Heh. She calls herself a kitchen troll. Should clarify she's not a jerk to coworkers, just not cut out for customers, and not patient enough to manage. I'm seeing her this weekend (I live one state over) and will try to bring up some of these suggestions. She's been killing time doing leather craft this last year, but it's low volume and not going to cover rent. If she is capable of driving, Lyft and Uber are really open ended and flexible ways to make some extra money.

I drive Lyft a bit, like an hour or so after work 4 days a week, and make an extra $250 a week. I promise you I am not causing $1000 worth of damage a month to the car lol

Just like pizza delivery, if you get hit they'll drop you like a hot potato if they find you've done any ride share stuff with that vehicle.

Elephanthead posted:You can use that to repel rats and mice also. When you are salting your doorways to keep evil spirits out, I find that fleur de sel has that je ne sais quoi to keep all but the most ancient and forboding beings at bay. Kosher salt is obviously better if you are dealing with Abrahamic entities but that's more of a niche, targeted thing. (for real tho you can use all sorts of stuff like that to deter various vermins and varmints from getting into your poo poo, like diatomaceous earth for insects eating up your vegetable garden)

The line of our open kitchen restaurant. I'm down for a few test clicks. But holy poo poo, our guys play the tongs like people play spoons (a guy was actually playing the spoons last night too). It can be heard from every spot in the restaurant.

It's a rule that I have to snap tongs three times and then go 'rawww' and have them bite my wife on the butt. I don't think that would fly on a line.

Are they... good at it? Like musical, or just frenzied clicking? When I was dish grunt for the Army DFAC, we had this dude Felix who moonlighted as a drummer/singer for a Mexican band. We had no music in the dish room, just the endless mechanical hissing and clatter of our 16' long dishwasher machine. So we loved it when Felix would start pounding the steel tables like bongos and singing. Sometimes our would-be hiphop stars would spit over Felix's beats, that was always fun. The troops (esp the Latinx ones) dropping their plates off would catch us dancing back there to Felix's sick rhythms as we washed 1500 plates/hour, and it made them smile. (So of course the staff sgt would tell us to STOP HAVING FUN WHILE DOING YOUR THANKLESS JOB)

Occasionally it'll be a rhythm, but usually it's just clackity-clackity-clackity really quickly for far too long. Sometimes tapping on a plate repeatedly to indicate that they need more of that type of plate. They really have our managers by the gonads. They're a great team that puts out fantastic food almost as fast as they click their tongs.

Arkhamina posted:Question for y'all - I am not industry, but my sister was until March 2020 (covid, her bar/theater closed up), and then she tripped and broke her neck in October. She's 70% recovered now, but she was 20 years a line cook, generally at higher end Indy bars. Going through disability hoops now, because without arm strength and the ability to stand for 8-12 hours, she doesn't stand too much chance being able get and do the job, as I understand it. Have her talk to Chris and Mollie. She should have *some* connection to them if she was serving at high end establishments. They've had consistent growth and support enthusiasm so even if they can't help her out they should be able to help her land somewhere. If she is willing to deal with some light sexual harassment, the management at the cigar bar by the circle always had a sweet tooth for the easy alt-girl type. IDK if #metoo changed that, I haven't been around there in a decade. The cigar bar on 96th by the fashion mall mostly serves liquor and bottles so that's another option. It is pretty low traffic so bad for tips but good for not being on your feet for long stretches. I feel like Ted would be a good asset here. He knows a lot of people and he hired Squeak.
