What I'm learning is that the "pickle sandwiches" that I invented at age 3 1/2 (actually copied off the picture on the box of saltines) -- a plate of 12 crackers topped with pickle slices topped with cheese -- is a "charcuterie board"

"charcuterie board" is just a seemingly fancy-sounding way of saying "plate of starch, cheese, and savory stuff like salted meat and relish"

I work in a deli and I'm so loving triggered right now. Okay, so first, I don't make nearly enough money as is but that's a particularly garbage minimum wage. Second, if you're ordering that somewhere, they have to make a profit because that is how restaurants and stores work, so yes, there is markup. No one's selling you food at cost, idiot. Third, you priced it with the absolute cheapest poo poo and admitted it, but that's a huge assumption about what you're comparing it to. Fourth, I have made all sorts of party platters ranging from piles of cubed cheese and sausage to platters with the thinnest of prosciutto laboriously wrapped around pieces of cantelope, and I will happily murder you with my dull-rear end knife that corporate can't seem to do anything about if you want to argue that this is some easy, effortless task, putting together a charcuterie board. AAAAHHHHH. Last weekend someone came in with a last minute order of thirty loving trays which just barely fit in under our twenty four hours notice rule, and we can't get any beef (roast, corned, garlic, pastrami) because the packing plant tested positive for listeria and they're fixing that I guess, but it was for a funeral so we pulled together and made it happen, and I did eight of them myself, and I spent fully four hours cutting cheese and folding salami to make nice little rosettes, and then she showed up the next day and said "oh that's way too much food" and took like. Half of them. And I don't even care about the money lost, because gently caress corporate, but it just makes me want to die. RoboRodent has a new favorite as of 14:37 on Aug 6, 2020 |

That tweet is actually a great example of false economy. He went with the cheapest items rather than cheapest by volume. Both the almonds and meats would be 1/3 the cost by volume if he wasn't buy individual portions, and it's not like nuts and cured meats don't keep. Also $3 for a baguette???

It sounds like you are stressed out about that knife, do they not allow you to sharpen them yourselves? I worked at a restaurant like that, they had a knife guy who came in and sharpened because, we were told, it was a liability to let us do it. Even though we used the knives every day, cleaned the knives, just constantly handled the knives. It sounded like a racket to me, but I wouldn't mind sharpening knives for local businesses. Just a side thing until I make it.

We have a sharpening steel in the department, but I'm just about the only person in the department who's comfortable using it, mostly because I take my knives at home seriously. I do my best. A sharp knife is a safe knife. Edit: throwing it out there that I cannot remember the last time I cut myself cooking at home, but I nicked myself yesterday at work because the knife slipped cutting through gouda.

A sharp knife is a safe knife. Solidarity. I worked 5 years of grocery retail in the prepared foods department. We never had anyone say "oh that's to much!" for trays of subs or what have you that I know of. But God there were some orders that made me want to stab someone. The worst was every year. We would make like. Two Thousand boxes lunches for (J?)ROTC. And we'd also cater a lot for the local college football team. It sucked being the closest grocery store to the stadium as well. So much Buffalo chicken dip... E - I try to not use the knives here at the hospital I work at now. I bring my own knives. At least they bought me a new knife roll so I didn't have to. They offered knives, but I just wanted the smaller roll.

Not fixing bugs in a supported online game is definitely a thing to get piss and bitch at a company about. Don't do it in a thread about the company doing a good thing, it just makes you look like an rear end in a top hat who should be ignored

A few weeks ago I was accused of being a pedophile by a guy who was going to "beat my motherfucking rear end" because I wouldn't walk through the door he was holding open. He wasn't wearing a mask and I told him so. People are sociopaths.

If you don't wash your mask and just use the same one all day every day, its gonna get funky and make you sick.
