It takes a certain kind of person to willfully choose employment in the restaurant business. For all those twisted individuals...this community is for you.
Unlike other retail operations, those of us "in the biz" have to deal with more crap than most people can imagine, let alone handle. But somehow we do it. We turn 'em & burn 'em, and get the food out of the window. The sidework gets done, and the inventory counted. And at the end of the day we convince ourselves we're not insane for doing what we do.
Are you a manager, chef, line/prep cook, waitstaff, bartender, hostess, busboy?
Whatever your job title, if you're currently working in a restaurant, you are welcome here.
Feel free to rant about a lousy day, share funny stories, and/or offer support to those of us who are just happy to have survived the last brutal shift.
Community Rules:
1. You can bitch about anything job related. But please keep your drama in check.
2. Be nice. Trolls will be beaten profusely and stuffed head first into the deep fryer.
3. Please put long posts behind a cut. It's appreciated.
4. Feel free to join and let us know what you do, and what type of restaurant you work in.
5. Please DO NOT mention the name of the restaurants and places you work. Thanks.
Rule breakers will be 86'd.
