It's more a side effect of thread hopping. In another thread, the Enrique thing is used to mock rich people. As in "I don't turn the shower on. I have Enrique to do it." and such.

Good thing you don't have to be mindful of context on the internet, huh? Let's denigrate migrant labor (ironically)!

Pretty much. Had some of the prescribed for a back injury that kept spasmong, and holy poo poo did it turn me into a pile of goo. Do not pass go, do not even reach for the remote because that is too much effort.

I had some prescribed for a muscle tear in my groin, and my doctor warned me not to drink on the meds. I did, had the most incredible nap of my life, and quickly got habituated to the sedative nature versus relaxant.

When I mentioned to my doc that I didn't stop drinking (heavily), she expressed sincere surprise that I was still breathing. poo poo was rad.

I am with you, but I gotta re-characterize that last statement. “Obligatory” is closer to “permitted” by which I mean “not actively discouraged by terminations for acts that range from tasteless for a man in power to afflict on people without power to sexual assault”. I suggest the thread to this excellent framing of the “boys will be boys” culture people feel the need to excuse or distance themselves from- https://www.gq.com/story/mario-batali-harassment-response

Seize the means of production, collectivize the restaurant.

Seriously, this is why people without business degrees running labor and capital-intensive businesses should shut the gently caress up and let PR do their job. Don’t address your guests with sarcasm on the goddamn internet. I hope this putz gets yelped into bankruptcy.

In a casino specifically, this'll in theory save 'em money on overpours for tips, too.

For this reason, casinos, airports, most large corporate chains use those captive ball pour spouts that stop after 1.5oz. The robot is purely to save on (presumably union) Labor.

Chef de Cuisine, from experience- you are going to crash. Hard. Make sure you have pedialite and flowers for the lady in your life what has been putting up with this, and try to start delegating some responsibility so it doesn’t fall apart while you sleep the sleep of the dead.

I hear “he could have gotten help” and I hear someone who is shocked and angry and understands the mess a life leaves behind.

As someone who has stood on the edge of a roof wondering what asphalt tastes like at terminal velocity, may I humbly ask that you take ten minutes, go gently caress yourself, and reach out to someone you know with problems that don’t seem to get better.

Rest in Power, chef.

Man I was in the middle of a construction site for a very prominent upcoming opening and I briefly thought “man, I miss the energy and purpose that goes into opening a restaurant, how that clarity makes life so vibrant” and then the lights went off for no reason and I had to turn the water back on to the apparatus I was installing manually and I was all “lolz no, I’m gonna go make dinner for my lady and be in bed by midnight”.

E: maybe look at brand work? Seems like a nice halfway point between sales & managing.

I went brand side and I am shitposting from the back of an uber on my expense account and I also went to a F&F for an incredible high profile opening last night to pair highballs with ramen. That is my job. Also I’m organizing a skeeball competition.

Oh, and did I mention the life insurance? It’s free, and it’s two years of my salary. If I kick it, my cousin gonna buy a house.

You wanna get in on the real racket? Get a job with the distributor. Sales is always gonna be the bottom line, so get your commission and go home by 5.

If not, I freelance for a few months, finally rest and recharge and travel with my boo. I feel an immense amount of relief.

Whoooooooooooooooo I Hope if you’re coming to the dark side it’s with us, but I don’t think so. Fingers crossed either way!
