Do you guys remember that one thing that happened a few years back that fundamentally changed societies across the entire globe? Yeah, the first year of Covid-19 was pretty crazy. We're lucky that the passage of time has made the Coronavirus much less of the dominant, oppositional presence in our lives, but don't forget it still exists. As an individual who survived as a restaurant server, the initial quarantine and closure of indoor dining hit me extremely hard financially. Add that on top of…

Table politics

Irresistible menu items galore!

I won't even try to hide it, I love fast food . There's nothing better than going full animal mode on a big plate of Wendy's. Just last night, I ate more Mcdonald's than my stomach could handle. What I couldn't finish is in the fridge, which means I'll be eating a McDouble for lunch . Call it disgusting or unhealthy or lazy. You'd be right, for the most part, but there's nothing wrong with having a huge helping of fast food once in a while. All that being said, moderation is very important. Jus…

Call me old-fashioned, but I think every person should have to work a food position for at least a few months, once in their lives. I'm not the kind of person who'd generally hold a sentiment like that, but it's immediately apparent when you realize somebody hasn't. People who show zero empathy for workers, complain about how “easy” it is to do the job, and just treat their server with complete disrespect. You hate to see it. Cut your teeth as a busser for even just a month and you'll realize t…

Entitlement Level 1000

It's almost too much to bear

Customers like these make the job less boring

$3 for a Kraft single though

It's not for the weak

Next level hating

If there's one thing that people on Twitter get heated about (besides, y'know, politics), it's food. If we had a nickel for every time a food went viral for being stupid, we'd be rich. Sadly, our Internet addiction hasn't proved financially lucrative, but we do find the food-related discourse entertaining. This week, Twitter users are up in arms over a carbonara dish served tableside - out of a cocktail shaker. In the video, the pasta, which is available at Aroma, a 1 Michelin star restaurant i…

Mind your own business

Ridiculous

In this episode of AITA, u/youkickmydog613 asks redditors whether he was in the wrong for ditching his wife's birthday dinner at Shogun. According to OP's account of what happened, his wife had asked for his input on where to go for dinner with the family for her birthday, to which he replied, “literally anywhere except shoguns is fine.” OP hates the food at Shogun, you see, and didn't want suffer through another meal there, not even for his wife's birthday. Well, the whole family decided on Sh…

One of the best parts about being a salaried employee is that you don't get called in for random shifts on the weekend. At least I don't, but y'all stay safe out there. There's nothing worse than preparing for a nice long day of doing nothing than receiving a call from your manager. When I worked at a dog bakery, I was always the person saying “yes” to picking up this one girls shifts. If it sounds like I was being a pushover, it's because I was a pushover. For me, it was hard to leave money on…
