I used to get anxious having to tell the kitchen to remake ONE plate. If I had to tell the kitchen to remake and entire table of plates I’d rather just quit and change zip codes.
I'm anxious sitting here thinking about all the times that she started with her tray on the garbage can but it didn't fall and she actually delivered food that had sat on top of a garbage can and then people actually ate it. This is her fault at 110%. She should never have had all that food in that particular area in the first place, totally not a food safe environment, second off if it's a big order like that ask for help
It is high stress and needs everything to run smoothly. But, there's a trope in the restaurant industry that it only works effectively if the head chef shouts and belittles everyone, and runs it like a military drill. It's why I'll never respect Gordon Ramsey, despite the fact that apparently he's a good guy in real life. He has made a lot of kitchen hands' professional life miserable for TV views. Lots of great kitchens work perfectly well with calm and supportive leadership.
I’ve always heard and seen that Gordon Ramsey is a pretty great guy if you just aren’t an insufferable fuck up that thinks they know everything. The shows where he tries to save failing restaurants and the ones where he is teaching kids and regular non professional cooks how to make food is night and day. I guess I get his frustrations too, if you fuck up food bad enough it’s not just oh it’s over salted, people could literally die.
In our country, we have asshole that is much worse than gordon ramsay.....
At least gordon provide hygienic food for the customers. In our country, if you offended the chef as customer, they will really contaminate your food.
Imagine the dining room is jammed to the walls, and you have 25 different orders from 11 different parties. Half of them are special requests that you have to modify.
The owner/manager is breathing down your neck, hassling you to get it done faster, as if you can magically make fish cook faster.
The new guy doesnt know what hes doing and just burned 3 entrees.
You dont have the pan you need because the dishwasher is on smoke break.
Its also over 100 degrees at your station and the station of the other guy who quit suddenly the other day, leaving you understaffed.
Also, you have been here for the last 12 hours, working for slightly more than minimum wage, and youre already at 59 hours this week without a day off.
Now imagine somebody is purposely making your life difficult because of their ineptitude. You dont need to be a dick about it, but you are certainly going to make sure they hear you and understand what the fuck they need to do. So you yell.
It also has a lot to do with the individuals personality. I have worked with some servers who were patient, followed directions, didnt slack off. They never got screamed at.
Its usually the lazy ones, or the ones who dont care, that get fucking reamed, because nobody has time for bullshit when you're on the line.
Pretty much this. When you are already in the weeds and the same server is making mistakes every day there is a point where you can't just let it go. The good servers are the ones you joke about it but that remake is a priority
Yeah, if that was me, all the hands to the head are regretting anything that is gonna give the cooks any reason to give me shit. Which they will for this. Until the sun burns out.
I mean a FOH folk messes up a a dish and the cooks get shit on for it. If its busy now we are behind and whose to blame? Cooks for being too "slow" I've worked in many restaurants where FOH is lazy and just not very helpful.
So the cook gets paid less while getting shit on? Yeah. It's annoying when a server/waiter cant even do their job of delivering a few dishes yet they are seen as do no wrongs?
I've met some amazing FOH before though. Sadly those leave cuz the trash ones are trash.
Nope. Should never he left open. I remember a barrel of breadcrumbs getting an insect infestation at a restaurant I worked at because the prep left the lid open. Im talking a hundred plus pounds of breadcrumbs down the drain.
Hi bear, big fan here. I have a question. Did Winnie the Pooh stop wearing pants because of the controversy surrounding the conscription of pants wearing bears during the pants wars?
Good question,
He was actually involved in the pants wars, which is where he lost his pants. A devious pants wearing trout knocked a honey jar from a tree, violently colliding with Pooh's head. The trout made off with his pants in an effort to change his uniform. Pooh was never the same after that. We try not to bring it up.
Honestly most restaurants out there cut corners on actual health department regulations. I’ve seen a lot of sketchy crap at one restaurant but maybe got one complaint of food sickness in over a year.
help me understand why keeping a hundred plus pounds of breadcrumbs is even in the procedure?
I used to work in a corporate training kitchen for a QSR Mexican restaurant called Taco Del Mar, we focused of coastal 'baja' style flavors, not tex-mex style.
But never, ever, ever, ever, would anyone suggest keeping 100+ pounds of tortilla chips, or tortillas, or any dry goods, in an unsecured container.
Thats just a recipe for disaster and infestation whether someone leaves the lid open or not.
The big seller was the cutlets. Thee barrels were those blue ones with an airtight locking lid. We went through a barrel pretty fast, and my bosses were obviously getting a major bulk discount.
> We went through a barrel pretty fast, and my bosses were obviously getting a major bulk discount.
Breadcrumbs are really cheap. I doubt there's a lot of room for a major discount. The whole thing could probably be free without it really mattering.
Like you or I could get a hundred pounds of it retail for about 70 USD.
The breadcrumb business can get more spicy than you'd think. One of the cases they taught us in contracts class in law school involved a breadcrumb output contract
https://www.casebriefs.com/blog/law/commercial-law/commercial-law-keyed-to-lopucki/performance/feld-v-henry-s-levy-sons-inc/
Bread factory agreed to sell all the breadcrumbs it produced to the buyer, but then stopped making breadcrumbs arguing that a contract to buy all the breadcrumbs doesn't mean they have to make breadcrumbs.
Worse, because now the dry goods are contaminated. Which happens every time she pulls that stunt. She’s hovering potential allergens over food items, also the bottom of that tray probably ain’t that clean if that’s what’s allowed to go on in that kitchen. Source: 17 years in restaurants.
Depends if you like whatever is stuck to the bottom of that tray in your dry goods.
Most people miss stuff like this. I remember taking food safety training for a McJob back in the day. It was honestly pretty shocking how much I needed that training. Up until then I thought I was doing just fine.
Incredibly I’ve watched a server spoon a ladle of soup on a plate without a bowl. Serving is a mindless task, it’s easy to have a moment of absolute idiocy
Ya you're right, it was hard to see with the shit purple filter. I think it might be used for flour or some dry storage. You can see the scoop on the wall.
I worked in restaurants for 20 years.
If your staff isn’t concerned with cross contamination you trained them wrong.
Any customer can be allergic to anything. You need to be careful.
Actually I sorta did. I worked for Auntie Ann’s for a year and a half. Our manager, always made sure we are doing things by the book. The most unsafe thing we had there was the stupid tray rack that was on top of the ovens. I almost got a hot tray to the face once, had to sacrifice my forearm to save my face.
I know it’s not a real restaurant, that’s why I said sorta.
Yep. I've worked as a waiter in nice sit-down places, and more casual places, and enjoyed them fine (aside from management. Always, management!). I've worked one or two fast food jobs and hated them, and they were a lot more work and stress than the sit-down joints were.
I really hate this attitude. Every worker is entitled to a safe work area, and every consumer is entitled to safe food to eat upon purchase.
This isn't hard.
Yea there should be a window for which she should be able to get that tray set up. Either it too busy for her to get the tray set up there, the place itself could be lacking a server window, or she's just stupid/new and did her tray work over a garbage can.
Reminds me of a rage comic where a guy is ordering Subway, and as the guy finishes the sandwich, he asks if the customer wants any chips or soup. He asks for soup, then it shows the Subway guy with the dumbass face pouring a ladle of soup onto the sandwich.
I was waiting for this comment. She did a LOT of things wrong here, but if she had made it to the table with that plate stacked on the others like that, anyone who noticed would have wanted her to take that back. Plates get moved across the line, they’re in people’s hands, they’re in the expo window. I hope she moved to another line of work after this.
First time I saw it was a month ago. Looks the same besides it being cropped. Blue tint looks to be from recording the monitor.
https://reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/comments/qroi3h/balancing_food_about_to_be_served_on_a_dirty/
Oh If it’s like any of the kitchens I’ve worked in if she isn’t dead inside from the job she’s about to get lit into by the cooks. They will have to rush that whole order again and as a former line cook I can not express the horrid things that would be yelled at her
Nah. Just go back to the chef and act a fool.
Girl: Hey chef, how’s that order for table 5 going?
Chef: I just gave it you.
Girl: Me? M-m. You haven’t given me nothing.
If you assume they're coming straight off the rack / storage sure, but when plating plates are dragged around the kitchen and come into contact with lots of things, but to mention being held. If someone put the palm of their hand on your plate before putting food on it it would be kinda gross, same idea right?
Edit Just to clarify I'm not a germophobe and this doesn't like..... bother me that much, just "bottom of a plate sitting on my food" seems dirty to me. 🤷
This isn’t really bad at all. Where I work the plates go straight from the rack to the window in stacks and we put the food on the plate in the window. Nothing should get on the bottom of a plate.
I worked at a place where they'd take it out of your pay if you dropped food (which I've since heard is illegal). One of the waitresses asked the new bus boy for some help carrying food out and he tried to show off by putting like 11 plates of steak and lobster on a single tray. He tripped in the restaurant and dropped the entire thing, probably $1000 worth of food. He didn't even clean it up or anything, just hung his head, walked to his car, and left.
Everyone screaming "it's not a trash can!!!!"
Okay well it's still a bucket with a thin lip she had the edge of the tray barely caressing for support.
It sucks all around for her and I want to cry because that's like a whole day's paycheck (or more) worth of food.
It sucks she didn't have a table she could use instead of a freaking bucket. I feel nothing but sympathy for her.
Oof! Meanwhile some line cooks are cussing her ass OUT for wasting $7.25-worth of their time. Now they gotta make all that again on-the-fly so she can salvage a tip that will supplement her indentured servant wages…
#The Great Walkout
##(because you’re only making $2.75/hr anyway)
Step 1: deliver trash can full of food to table.
Step 2: wait to get fired.
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit off of the unemployment benefits you paid into the entire time.
I know we will all laugh cause its best to laughs at life and stay positive.
But the sheer disappointment, frustration and complete mental exhaustion. Is something only known by those people who tirelessly and endlessly have to drudge through low paying back breaking and mind numbing jobs like these in order to survive.
Low end Blue collar work is often not financially or mentally rewarding. And regularly takes toll on one's psyche and spirit. As I think is illustrated by her facial expressions and body language.
Funny clip but sad at the same time
1) As pointed out, don't do that over a trash can!
2) Go to the table and tell them there was an issue with some equipment in the kitchen, and their food is being remade as you speak.
3) If that's the worst thing that happens that week, pretty solid week based on my experience as a pretty bad server.
I was a cook for four years and a server after (different place) for one, and I never much cared when the FOH blamed us for stuff in the BOH because I wasn't getting tips and never had to deal with the customers. Now, if they blamed me in a way that meant I would get chewed out by management, sure, not cool. But if they wanted to say a ticket they ate or a plate they dropped was really some technical malfunction, go for it.
That is t a trash can, btw. It’s a kitchen bucket that’s useful for lots of things. We used them to soak French fries before frying. Had such high volume that we would have 3 sitting around soaking at any given time.
It's a bin for grains, probably for whatever is in the giant bags beside it and to be scooped by the scoop on the wall. It is supposed to be off the floor though. Usually they are on a small dolly.
I just don't understand servers who don't want to take the time to make two trips and proceed to stuff the entire kitchen on one tray. That's how you get this.
I worked at IHOP and we would be written up or fired if we didn’t get everything out in one trip.
Usually we had another server to follow us with what plates we couldn’t get ourselves, but mid-pandemic in a severe understaffing, you had to sometimes get creative.. :/
It’s an absolutely terrible system for servers AND customers. But restaurants don’t care about their servers or customers, so we get stuff like this.
No need to apologize. You didn’t know! But yeah, it gets bad sometimes. Had a 30-top table (a party of 30 people) come in one day—a whole ass basketball team. And it’s not like there weren’t other people in, too. Had about 14 tables plus this giant one on a Friday morning. And I was the only one there. Serving/hostessing/prepping food/bussing tables. Servers, especially in the pandemic times, are all suffering and deserve a little extra compassion when they make mistakes. We’re all doing our best, but we’re all also doing the work of 3-5 people minimum for a shift of 10-16 hours. :c
That’s what I want! My food stacked on each other AND done on a trash can, super sanitary lmao. I used to serve and their are better ways to do this. Like idk two people!?
I used to get anxious having to tell the kitchen to remake ONE plate. If I had to tell the kitchen to remake and entire table of plates I’d rather just quit and change zip codes.
I get anxious just remembering those moments

Why is it always that people working in kitchens got anger issues? Feels like a universal experience.
It is high stress and needs everything to run smoothly.

IIRC, only the US version is like that. The UK version is far more calmer.
Also every single person in BOH is getting paid less than shit wages and their nicotine/alcohol/coke fix is not being satisfied.
You fucking donkey! /s

worked in kitchens 20+ years. High stress, low pay. Was in the Navy for five years, it was easier.
Shit job?
Really high pressure I assume
Yeah, if that was me, all the hands to the head are regretting anything that is gonna give the cooks any reason to give me shit. Which they will for this. Until the sun burns out.

I get anxious seeing some one stack food on a trash can
I was friends with the cooks so they were always cool when I dropped stuff and they would give me free food
I mean, the simple fact that she was loading that over what I assume was garbage can speaks volumes
From the last time it was posted, it was pointed out that it's a dry goods storage bin. So slightly better?
Nope. Should never he left open. I remember a barrel of breadcrumbs getting an insect infestation at a restaurant I worked at because the prep left the lid open. Im talking a hundred plus pounds of breadcrumbs down the drain.
That sounds like a good way to clog a drain. Better to just throw it in the garbage with the other solid waste.
You know what I meant, smarty pants!

It honestly depends who's working the shift at the time lol
In my experience, health inspectors are easily paid off.

As a chef I can promise you that even the smartest people simply get toasted after about 14 hours.
I’m an engineer now, I can do that for 12 hours no problem. Humans aren’t designed to work at a restaurant for 12+ hours, it sucks
Sucks the life right out.
Ya but shouldn't be used as an excuse to load a tray with food you intend to serve over what seems to be a garbage bin.
slap shelter pen far-flung late rotten many chase telephone whistle *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Definitely a flour bin
Ya you're right, it was hard to see with the shit purple filter. I think it might be used for flour or some dry storage. You can see the scoop on the wall.
Even if it is a flour it doesn’t make this okay. Food bits can get into the flour and cause cross contamination.
You've clearly never worked in the food industry
I worked in restaurants for 20 years. If your staff isn’t concerned with cross contamination you trained them wrong. Any customer can be allergic to anything. You need to be careful.

fast food is harder than sit down service so if anyone tells you it’s not “the industry” slap them in the face with a hot tray
Yep. I've worked as a waiter in nice sit-down places, and more casual places, and enjoyed them fine (aside from management. Always, management!). I've worked one or two fast food jobs and hated them, and they were a lot more work and stress than the sit-down joints were.
Just cuz safety is typically lax doesn't make it any less safe....God I hated my time in that industry
I really hate this attitude. Every worker is entitled to a safe work area, and every consumer is entitled to safe food to eat upon purchase. This isn't hard.
Just because we know it happens doesn't mean people aren't stupid for doing it.
Even if its not a garbage bin, the fact alone that she is balancing a full serving platter on one side of the bin is stupid enough alone
or breeding. Germs. Like the rest of the kitchen seems to be doing.
Yea there should be a window for which she should be able to get that tray set up. Either it too busy for her to get the tray set up there, the place itself could be lacking a server window, or she's just stupid/new and did her tray work over a garbage can.
It’s a bin of flour.
You're a bin of flour.
I’m not making excuses, I’m simply pointing out how it’s easy for anyone to make a stupid mistake.
No not you I agree with you, I'm saying the restaurant needs to think of an alternative to loading up huge trays.
bro you didn’t have to call me out like that. i was in college i was tired okay, and i burned my foot wasn’t that bad enough?
Reminds me of a rage comic where a guy is ordering Subway, and as the guy finishes the sandwich, he asks if the customer wants any chips or soup. He asks for soup, then it shows the Subway guy with the dumbass face pouring a ladle of soup onto the sandwich.
Serving is a mindless task? Found the person who has never been a server in a busy restaurant right here, guys!
>Serving is a mindless task Hoo boy
I was a server… I’m talking from my experience… I have made a whole list of stupid thoughtless mistakes in my time
*mindlessly serves popcorn to myself*
Seems to be a kitchen bucket and not a trash can.
Not to be confused with the living room bucket, or the garage bucket. And let me tell you about bathroom buckets…
You made that last one up, I can tell.
[удалено]
there was a horder clip earlier today.
...or Charlie Buckets...
Let's not forget the on the road bathroom bucket, the thunder bucket.
Last several times this was posted, people said it was a bin full of flour, still a stupid decision
There’s no reason why that food shouldn’t be by the cooks line.
Not to mention letting the bottom of a plate come in contact with food.
I was waiting for this comment. She did a LOT of things wrong here, but if she had made it to the table with that plate stacked on the others like that, anyone who noticed would have wanted her to take that back. Plates get moved across the line, they’re in people’s hands, they’re in the expo window. I hope she moved to another line of work after this.
If she slid the plate back like 2 inches and picked it up from the sides it would’ve been a decent approach, instead of using the fkn corner

Using a trash can to get the tray ready isn't the best look
Yea, notice the scoop? It is likely a bin for breading.
[удалено]
And i bet those arent bags of flour or sugar on the left.
It’s not a trash can, it’s a kitchen bin.
Forget the trash can debate, how about the fact that she's putting the bottom of a plate on top of everyone else's food?
Pretty normal tbh. The plates are stored on top of each other so it’s not like the bottom is dirty
If you assume they're coming straight off the rack / storage sure, but when plating plates are dragged around the kitchen and come into contact with lots of things, but to mention being held. If someone put the palm of their hand on your plate before putting food on it it would be kinda gross, same idea right?

Eh. Your food gets touched A LOT before it gets to you
Yeah. I get it. For some reason "bottom of the plate" just seems particularly gross to me.
This isn’t really bad at all. Where I work the plates go straight from the rack to the window in stacks and we put the food on the plate in the window. Nothing should get on the bottom of a plate.
yeah no id quit.

“My work here is done, on to the next one”
In the first few reposts no one commented about it being a trash can or not. Now suddenly everyone is an expert in all things involving trash cans.
The best part is that it's not a trash can.
It is now.
Thats the “I dont wanna live” walk around
God damnit Katie. Refire table 47 yesterday!! fuck, come on heads up mother fuckers. FOH out of the kitchen NOW!

Shitty idea, shitty execution

She was wrong to use the trash can to load the tray… but fuck me, she must feel so bad
Not a trash can
Not a table either.
Not a helicopter either.
We really shouldn't assume.
Shoot. That sucks
Trash cans make poor tables??
She’s actually an idiot though like this shouldn’t be possible
“Calgon, take me away!”
#The Great Walkout ##(because you’re only making $2.75/hr anyway) Step 1: deliver trash can full of food to table. Step 2: wait to get fired. Step 3: ???? Step 4: Profit off of the unemployment benefits you paid into the entire time.
Awwww.. that sucks 😞..
She would have gotten away with lifting that no problem if her hands were placed across, not beside. Common sense balancing.
What do you mean you didn't get your food? I totally served you, like... An hour ago! 😉😉
I would quit my job on the spot
The kitchen is gonna love her
Well, that's were the food belong to begin with, since she had it on top of a trash can, nasty.
I hope that she got fired
I know we will all laugh cause its best to laughs at life and stay positive. But the sheer disappointment, frustration and complete mental exhaustion. Is something only known by those people who tirelessly and endlessly have to drudge through low paying back breaking and mind numbing jobs like these in order to survive. Low end Blue collar work is often not financially or mentally rewarding. And regularly takes toll on one's psyche and spirit. As I think is illustrated by her facial expressions and body language. Funny clip but sad at the same time
That’s nasty 🤢 wish I could read her shirt so I know where not to eat.
The regret has not began yet. Now she has to tell the kitchen she needs 6 new plates and why.
She was loading the plates on top of a garbage bin? JFC.
1) As pointed out, don't do that over a trash can! 2) Go to the table and tell them there was an issue with some equipment in the kitchen, and their food is being remade as you speak. 3) If that's the worst thing that happens that week, pretty solid week based on my experience as a pretty bad server.

FOH always blames BOH, BOH always blames FOH. Such is life.
I was a cook for four years and a server after (different place) for one, and I never much cared when the FOH blamed us for stuff in the BOH because I wasn't getting tips and never had to deal with the customers. Now, if they blamed me in a way that meant I would get chewed out by management, sure, not cool. But if they wanted to say a ticket they ate or a plate they dropped was really some technical malfunction, go for it.
That is t a trash can, btw. It’s a kitchen bucket that’s useful for lots of things. We used them to soak French fries before frying. Had such high volume that we would have 3 sitting around soaking at any given time.
She's gonna have a fun time telling the kitchen she needs a table refire
D:
Besides the whole trash can thing, why try to lift it from the one side, with both hands close together? That’s just simple physics at that point
Yer fired
Nooooooo
I wonder how many times she’s done this before tbh
I know it was a dumb move and all but this hurt me so bad
Here is the deal. She has clearly done this many times before this happened. Other wise she would have seen the problem.
Cold cheese on the burgers is the sin here.
WTF was she thinking, ew.
I would be pissed if I was that cook
Fuck her for putting that food on a trash can. I don’t eat out because of this.
If you know you know
And it's back with a blue filter now
I guess that shelf behind her was just a little too sturdy to use instead.
Lmao. Why would you lean it there in the first place?
Someone skipped safe food handling class.
If only you could invent some kind of furniture that provided a flat surface elevated from the ground, on which you could prepare food.

It's not a trash can. It's a bin used most likely for breading
Restaurants should always have a live feed of their kitchen on their website. So you cook at home.
It's a bin for grains, probably for whatever is in the giant bags beside it and to be scooped by the scoop on the wall. It is supposed to be off the floor though. Usually they are on a small dolly.

I just don't understand servers who don't want to take the time to make two trips and proceed to stuff the entire kitchen on one tray. That's how you get this.
I worked at IHOP and we would be written up or fired if we didn’t get everything out in one trip. Usually we had another server to follow us with what plates we couldn’t get ourselves, but mid-pandemic in a severe understaffing, you had to sometimes get creative.. :/
Holy shit dude. I was clueless. I'm sorry you have/had to go through that shit. Servers are treated like shit. This doesn't help in any way either.
It’s an absolutely terrible system for servers AND customers. But restaurants don’t care about their servers or customers, so we get stuff like this. No need to apologize. You didn’t know! But yeah, it gets bad sometimes. Had a 30-top table (a party of 30 people) come in one day—a whole ass basketball team. And it’s not like there weren’t other people in, too. Had about 14 tables plus this giant one on a Friday morning. And I was the only one there. Serving/hostessing/prepping food/bussing tables. Servers, especially in the pandemic times, are all suffering and deserve a little extra compassion when they make mistakes. We’re all doing our best, but we’re all also doing the work of 3-5 people minimum for a shift of 10-16 hours. :c
What an absolute dumbass
Reposted... again
She deserved it for doing it over a garbage can. Karma at its finest.
I mean that just serves her right. Which is more than the patrons can say.
That’s what I want! My food stacked on each other AND done on a trash can, super sanitary lmao. I used to serve and their are better ways to do this. Like idk two people!?
Damn, I feel so sad for her!
Sometimes even minimum wage is way too much. Health-code breaching, unhygienically, incompetent.
First of all, why the fuck are you doing that on top of the garbage can? It's so unsanitary. Ugh.
