I mentioned in a prior post about a jackass who fired me for no damned good reason other than he wanted to save on labor. The ironic part is that when the asshole introduced himself he said he was going to get his hands dirty in the kitchen with us, and outside a couple of pathetic attempts that didn't last more than 10/20 minutes he never did a full shift in that kitchen.
I worked in a hot kitchen year round, but it was oppressive in especially June, July and August as the air conditioning sucked in the kitchen. So just last night I watched a documentary hosted by food guru Andrew Zimmern, about how important migrant workers are to our food supply, and not just in kitchens, but in our nationwide farms. At one point he was interviewing a lady, a field worker, when he told her that she provided the food for the Congressional caffetteria. In referring to congress she said, "They wouldn't last a day".
She's right. I knew exactly how she felt knowing that when the owner who fired me, when he first introduced himself, and said he was going to be in the trenches with us in the kitchen, my thought was the same "Yea right".
Point is, I do get sick of those who are lucky enough not not have to, to look down on those who have no choice. If you are not going to do it yourself, shut your fucking mouth. I don't have to now, I admit. But I did have jobs where by the time I left work, my body ached and I felt physical pain. So when I think of that lady, I know I could not do what she does. So I am happy and thankful someone does.
