You should speak to LC about the joys of computer janitor jobbing, when you are ready I can apprentice you in the dark arts of the mainframe and you can make 6 figures confusing everyone else and getting them to go away.

Oh yeah, I wasn't making GBS threads on it, that's what most sandwich shops use for their steaks, the ones that slice it themselves from ribeyes are relatively few (and some of those turn out really lovely steaks so it's not like a guarantee of quality or anything). I've just never heard it called that, and 'cheese steak patty' sounded like some abortion like you'd get in Ohio or somewhere where they don't know what food is.

I'm moving from Los Angeles to Ohio. Should I just kill myself now?

I quit my last cook/bartender/whatever gig at the diveist of college dive bars because I graduated and I'm moving away to find a big boy engineering job. We had a staff meeting after my graduation party two weeks ago and the owners announced they were retiring from the bar business after 18 years and shutting down. They've been trying to sell the business for a few years now, but they want to sell it to the right people. It's been a college bar under various owners since the 70's, and alumni still come back and say it feels the same.

They formally announced it yesterday, and goddamn, the outpouring of tears has been amazing. It was an amazing place to work, and the owners spoiled the hell out of us. Feels good to have a hand in making an impact on so many people's lives.

Buy the bar. You know what to do.

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.

So I will be in Dublin as of the 11th. If you want to get together in Short North or something sometime in July let me know.

There is always an implication, when asking for a raise, that you might leave if you don't get it. This way you proactively establish a legitimate need, an imbalance in the relationship if you will, and avoid the assumption that you're merely being greedy or flighty. It also doubles as a litmus test to see if your boss gives a poo poo about you as a person, or if they only see you as as a working unit who they will exploit for as much labor as they can for the least about of money possible.

Don't do this. You never ask for a raise because you are poor and need it. She deserves it. They promoted her and promised her a raise and didn't do it. That's bullshit.

As I walked up to my car today from the store 2 little shits left alone in the car next to me threw multiple pieces of chewed gum against my car door from their car and started laughing.

I wanted to wait for the parents to come out and start screaming at them. Instead I just told the kids that doing that isn't funny and left.

I wasn't mad at the kids. I was livid at the loving parents.

Also, I'm not positive on this, but I think if you use Square they handle all of that and just charge a flat % to the shop. But restaurants shouldn't use Square because its designed for running a booth at a farmer's market, not the service industry.

Its funny how much I used to hate Aloha until I had to use any other POS system.

Can you give more details on this - I see a lot of newer restaurants here (New Orleans) using Square?

Square is fine. It has a lot of updated capabilities since it's inception. It has built in kiosks/registers now, can track inventory and do forecasting. It also has every reader needed, swipe/chip/NFC and it's cheaper and easier to set up for small restaurants.

I'm not just saying this because I own a bunch of stock in square and want it to go up (I do, I got in during the IPO and god drat has it gone to the moon). I used it in my place and it worked great.

An IOS system is just like anything else you pay for in life. You get what you pay for.

If you are running a Pizza Shop that does dine in, pick up, delivery, and online orders good luck with a lower tier iOS system.

You do realize that the front end of a program is not the same as the back end right? Just because it has an iOS interface for users does not mean that Square is an iOS only application.

Except one injures a person and one makes your diet Coke taste bad.

As a line cook we used to salt people drinks if they left them lying around because that poo poo was funny.

One bartender left a beer in the walkin and kept coming back to swig from it. So we filled it with tobasco. That poo poo was hilarious.
