My shit ass job just called me back up

[CarveTheFive]

I’m complaining about having to choose one or the other in the richest country on earth. I think it’s a pretty shitty fucking deal.

[Fireball]

As a restaurant worker let me kindly say to those people that they can just leave the money in an envelope and then fuck right off.

You’re not doing someone a fucking favor when go out to eat. It’s just a fucking transaction.

So sick of this backpatting bullshit.

Let’s help out by going out to eat. No.

Having worked in food and retail all my life, to the fuckfaces who don't know how their ovens friges work in a snowstorm/hurricane, FUCK YOU! This virus is far worse. It will kill the asshole who feels self entitled too. This virus isn't Easter Sunday. 

I really do feel sorry for anyone who has to work under these horrible conditions.

"All your life?" When is the last time you punched in to work?

Many of the restaurants where I live have gone to pickup and delivery only. Thanks in part to social media, some of them are doing a booming business. Now that dining rooms can open to 25% capacity, several have decided to just keep their dining rooms closed for now.

I've been impressed with how these mom and pop places have changed up their business models and they now thrive and grow their businesses through all this. It's been quite the display of adaptability. Some of the places did little to no carryout food prior to the pandemic.

I have a list of three that I see mentioned frequently on a local Facebook page set up for our town's restaurants that I want to try. Two of them I didn't even know existed before all this. One's an Italian place, one's an authentic Mexican place, and the other is a little bit of everything place.

Here in Texas where the governor is opening things up pretty quickly, the town where I live is taking a much more cautious path...thanks in large part to our mayor and city council being truly concerned about the citizens.

Pick up and delivery aren’t exactly rocket science.

Pick up and delivery aren’t exactly rocket science.

If you've not done it before and are thrust into it there is a learning curve and also stocking of appropriate supplies.

But go ahead and be pissy...seems to be your thing.

Pick up and delivery aren’t exactly rocket science.

Having worked in food service and delivery, yes it is. 

The problem with most giant corporations, isn't that the job is easy to learn, but in that the bean counters and CEOs most of the time create conditions for workers that are impossible. 

If you get bad service the most likely culprit isn't the employee, but the protocol thrust on the employee that sets impossible standards. 

Business far too often take a utopian scenario and applies that to even when it is slam busy.

They put the food in to-go boxes and sell it

Sounds easy sure. But have you ever worked for a company like that for months or years or decades?

[CarveTheFive]

Yes I have.

It’s hard af to run a restaurant

It’s just one crazy clusterfuck after the next

You gotta be able to figure out problems fast as shit even when you’re dead tired

The logistics are also insane

I’m just a dude who knows a shitload of recipes - I’m shitty problem solver

I’m just in the mood to shit on the industry

It deserves it tbh

No sick days
No health care

Don’t work don’t eat

Sick of it

---

I also want to say mom and pop are just as greedy as the corporate cunts

They just haven’t accumulated the same wealth

Restaurant owners work hard af until they can pawn it off to managers

But they expect people who aren’t paid enough to even fucking live to work like they do

Fuck them

And fucking having to risk my life

[brewer]

Quite the pity party going on here.

Wait, don't tell me, ................. it's not your fault.
