The resort I worked at toyed with something like this for the fine dining areas. It was a site that would allow customers to review individual servers and we were all supposed to make accounts with our pictures and info. It went over like poo poo and several people threatened to resign immediately. In better news apparently I served a legit "made it big" chef with dope rear end restaurants and TV appearances. He was a really nice guy and enjoyed everything. People talk hot poo poo all the time, but googling his name actually backed him up.

I wish we could write Yelp reviews of customers. Right now I'd be pounding my keyboard so hard about the 6 top of teens that came in 2 minutes before we closed, the seismic shock waves would be felt three states away. I think I fired their food solely with my anger; the glare I had on as they walked in was probably the closest I will ever get to having Superman's heat vision. (And that's why I work BOH, I can't do "service with a smile" when it comes to assholes, I'm more of a "service with the snarling rictus of a rabid German Shepherd" kind of gal) I'm generally one of the most patient, even-keeled, and good-humored people in my kitchen, but gently caress people that come in less than 15 minutes before we close. At that point I've been up since 3:30 am, working for 9 hours straight with only two 5 minute breaks, so gently caress you and your loving "duuuude, I got so wasted last night and just woke up" 1pm hangover pancakes. gently caress ALL y'all. ...thanks as always for letting me get that out my system, thread.

I'm with you there, and I have to be up front a lot. I've got this rep now that apparently SOME nurses think I'm 'mean' when that's just how I am. I'm a pedant, namely. And I worked retail to long so I always have to make sure to repeat what they've ordered. Especially since folk have such an inordinately hard time figuring out cheese and buns, between 6 and 2 options, respectively.

If it's the type of place that does a lot of take out the last half hour of service should be take out only.

So I just walked out of my job because everything was so hosed and had been for awhile and I reached the breaking point. Don't eat at Umami Burger, and definitely don't eat at the Umami Burger in SOMA.

if you are around there and looking for an expensive hamburger, try out garaje or marlowe (if you want the full weird hamburger-with-white-tablecloths experience)

Skwirl posted:So I just walked out of my job because everything was so hosed and had been for awhile and I reached the breaking point. I drove by one today and make a mental note to check it out. I usually just stop by Five Guys, In n Out, or a local diner style place where the 1/3 lb bacon avocado cheeseburger is $5 or less whenever I want a burger. Is Umami burger all flash and no substance? I've been to more then a few of those craft brew on draft truffle oil fries $15 burger places and for the most part its completely hit or miss. At best it's never truly disappointing, but always seems like they use a bunch of fancy things and try too hard rather then make a satisfying burger. For a typical example, I went to a place that offered a bacon peanut butter and jelly burger. The adjectives for the jelly, meat, bun, and bacon were plentiful on the menu, but from my position at the bar I saw the chef make the burger, then grab a 5 lb jar of Skippy Chunky Peanut butter and add half a spoonful to the bun. It was pretty disappointing when I tried first tried it only because it was a ton of artisan strawberry jelly and a tiny scrape of peanut butter. I asked for more peanut butter, slathered it on the bun, and the crunch and saltiness made the burger taste much better.

When made right they're good burgers but everything was just comically inept at my location. You might get a different tables food, or a different table gets your food, or your burger will take 45 minutes when the person sitting next to you who came in 15 minutes after you gets theirs in 10 minutes. And that's assuming that whatever you want to order is even available, we pretty much never had cheesy tots (when they are available they're the most popular side dish after french fries) and in the last month I've worked shifts where they've run out of french fries, hamburger buns, and one night hamburger patties. Edit: That last one happened during the NBA finals, I'm sure a bunch of you don't care about sports but Umami is a psuedo-sports bar and a local team was in the championships.

Okay, seriously, I don't give a gently caress if you do drugs. Just keep that poo poo on your own time, and stay functional at work. So when my Chef showed up 5 hours late yesterday, with loving cocaine still on his nose, with the dishwasher (me), one of the servers, and the GM doing the loving breakfast rush at a hotel, you can imagine I was slightly displeased. And then he spent the rest of my shift going out every 15 minutes and returning sniffling, cause that's real loving sneaky. With the dishwasher and server making, plating, and serving every order that came through. What in the gently caress would possess someone to think that the goddamned dishwasher is the person to have alone on the line instead of the chef and the loving cook who was on schedule(who's only on because the chef hasn't changed the schedule in two weeks, and the guy only showed up for his first two shifts and then disappeared). This loving industry.

Dragging in drama from elsewhere is going to get a slower response than a report. His off-forums behavior that he's talked about here has been pretty reprehensible, but he's never been a dick here. AFAIK, there has been no drama elsewhere. That said, punishing someone for what they discuss here is a very, very fine line to walk and I wouldn't want to punish someone for being open about how they act unless it's really egregious - that shuts down conversation. And unless I'm missing something, he hasn't gone that far. Skwirl, quote something if I'm wrong.

Peanut butter is fantastic on a burger but it’s one of those things that you order once for the novelty and never again.
