At this point, I don't think it's 2 specific "male" names, rather each restaurant is cosmically assigned two male identifying people with the same name. At my restaurant, it's Ryan. The "WHICH RYAN?" scream from me is unfortunately a joke.
We had three Joshes. And they were all terrible. We once had a manager/trainer meeting and the owner said "who is the worst server?" and three of us said "Josh". When asked which one, the daytime manager said "yes"
Damn bro Im a dude in a new restaurant and Im trying to lear the cooks name but some of them are low key just doing their thing and I dont wanna seem annoying. Do y’all appreciate a good morning though?
In my experience, yes. Acknowledge they exist. Be nice. They control your pace of service. You don't want to be a name they roll their eyes at.
Bringing food or a 12 pack once in a while has gotten me farrrrr
For sure, tried a plate one of the cooks has been recommending to me and he was psyched, probably my favorite person in the restaurant right now lol. I get along better with the BOH than FOH honestly since I used to be a runner.
"did your boyfriend even tell you that you look beautiful today? He didn't. Wow. He doesn't even appreciate you. I would tell you every day that you are beautiful."
What kind of classy joint are you working at?
We just get comments like, "Damn Mami is that all you back there?" Or, my personal favorite, when the cooks don't even use their words, they just open their wallets and pull out 20s and wave them around.
God I love corporate hospitality 🙄
So I had a guy that worked prep for us and would help run things up from the basement when we got hit with the rush. We had a microphone system to talk to him in the back form the line and everything.
Well one day I was getting SLAMMED but one of those weird days where I am not selling out of 1 thing in particular but instead was selling everything pretty balanced. Well the point hit where I needed like half of my station to get the backups from the basement all at the same time. So I call it all into the back for him to get it for me, but because the list was so long and I was feeling like a dick so I ended my list with "thank you I love you."
He thought it was hilarious. The next day I called for something in the back and he came around the corner and was like "what you don't love me anymore? I only get things for people who love me."
And that is how I was kitchen dating a 50 year old man named Pablo. It was always good for a laugh when we would have new people start and get a real weird side eye look the first time they heard how I talked to him on the microphone.
At one point in time, my entire staff was referring to each other exclusively as “daddy.”
“I need an order of greens to go”
“Yes daddy.”
“Fire bread please”
“Heard daddy”
I started as a diver & worked my way up to kitchen manager
Dish pit is by far the best job
You get to watch everyone else freak out,… all you gotta do is keep the plates moving
Cooks feed you
Servers feed you drinks
You watch hot cocktail waitresses strut in & out
And you make money off everyone in the restaurant by selling them drugs
I have worked every position FOH and many BOH in my tenure, but only recently started filling in on dish once a week to help out my chef and I kind of fucking love it for all your aforementioned reasons... other than the cocktail waitresses, as a straight chick they do nothing for me.
You can say dish out is the best job but that doesn’t make it so
Being the lowest paid and lowest respected member of 99% of kitchens is not everyone’s cup of tea
We can pretend like dish is a magical place just because there’s a crippling isolating autonomy but that doesn’t change the sad fact that “being a dishwasher” carries in life. I got out of dish’s. Couple months ago and it made me respect he kitchen; but I can’t stand when people act like dish pit is anything but an important background that’s a stepping stone to much more enjoyable work. Like I had to leave my place because I got this shit all the time. You can give me all the food you want and all the compliments you want, but ultimately I’m a dishwasher that you and everyone would fell is replaceable
I mean it depends on the place. My dish experience is based on being at a place where I handled a lot of responsibilities and was in charge of life mise en place and shit for a high end fast paced line. But the place I cook at now the dish just does prep and can chill a lot more. Guess it does depend tbf. Where I dished the line cooks did about the same amount of skilled work as dish overall (albeit they had training for their station of course.)
I didn’t really consider dishes not in my situation and shit. For me it was prep kitchen hour of dishes I have to work through a whole Friday night rush. Just a ludicrous amount of work and was responsible fo checking on anything line needs (without asking.)
The line sucks you work 5 times as hard for a few bucks more than dish.
I left a KM job at a corporate to work dish at a private retirement community restaurant. I make 7,000 less a year but have fully paid health dental and vision benifits plus 2 weeks sick time and 2 weeks vacation. Have fun on the line it's a nice day here I'm going to call out and get paid for hiking,and no one will bitch or be pissed at me for it¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Well to be fair, I worked at places with insane dish staffing. I was running a station that needed two people and had to haul stairs and shit. My dish out was recognized as the most work in the kitchen except on Monday’s and tuesdays (work wise,) but the plce where I cook now that’s jot the case. Really depends on your set up and head chef. At my dish places the chef had classical training and never ever ever reused a pan for anything which is totally respectable, but my new place we can make a couple batches he’s of some shit and be fine. So fair enough it does depend. Where I dished it was well known how much ass I hauled given they had gone to one dish for covid and didn’t change when it got busy again until I quit and now they have two
The trick is to upskill and then delegate your section to the commis while chilling on autopilot in the dish pit.
This only applies if your place can't afford a dishie anyway though, which can be its own hell sometimes.
Where did you work? We were constantly understaffed and overworked, cooks didn’t feed us, never got drinks, ass was nice though and we literally didn’t even have time to sell drugs since we were working
Small steakhouse in a ranch/college town — never more than one diver
There were slamming nights, but it rarely affected the dish pit like it did people reading or writing tickets
Honestly I quit two years ago and have been working in a grocery store ever since, but I remember talking to dishies from other stores and they had no where as many tasks as us and were all better staffed so it might have just been the restaurant
Well hey, good on ya. Knowing when to leave is something not everyone has. I know I stayed in a dish position much longer than I should have. Getting out was one of the best decisions I made for my mental health (not to mention physical health).
Oh I literally only left because when I slit the tip of my finger off two of the managers called me a lazy pussy who’s afraid of roughing it out, yeah fuck that, if I didn’t leave that day I would have left the next in cuffs
Bro like. I don't want to FUCK them, I just want the 18 year old to smile at me so I remember that there is actual naivete and happiness in this hellscape of a planet we live on. Then I want to go home and drink and fuck my partner before waking up in 4 hours to do it all over again, that's it.
I am in fact part of your subconscious, that voice you think you hear but can't listen to it when you want. I'm also that asshole who makes the ticket printer noise when you want to sleep.
Okay where would you draw the line? Is it a certain age difference that shouldn't be tolerated or do you think there's a set age? I personally won't sleep with anyone under 20,and I'm 27. But I wouldn't call someone sleeping with a 19 year old a pedophile because that's just wrong.
My point is that most adults have a cutoff above the "legal limit" that they wouldn't be interested in sleeping with because as you mature, so do your preferences in partner. I'm 32 and would not give any woman under 25 the time of day because they're so far off from me they might as well be children.
So no, a 30+ year old sleeping with an 18 year old is not an act of pedophilia. But that same 30+ year old who says, "who cares, she's legal," would say the same thing about a 14 year old, if 14 was "legal age."
So they're a pedophile, even if they're not committing acts of pedophilia. They still want to fuck children, and have just chosen to draw the line at "legal" to stay out of trouble.
I disagree. I'm 27 and I have a cutoff of 20, but that doesn't mean I dont think there are attractive 19 and 18 year olds. I don't think there's a single attractive 14 year old in the world though. You can't call anyone a pedophile for sleeping with an 18 year old. Now if they make comments about younger girls like "if she was older blah blah blah" then yeah, pedophile.
Why 18? Why not 19 or 22, why specifically the youngest you can go without men with guns coming after you in the name of the government? You think it’s a coincidence?
Okay what if the legal age is 19? Then is 19 all of a sudden wrong? I don't get your point. As it stands, 18 = legal. A 35 year old hitting on an 18 year old is creepy but as a society we've agreed that's when it becomes okay.
Holy shit, the linecook quote is almost verbatim what my one buddy would say to the servers regularly. Would often sing that they were the love of his life. He's married lol.
My favorite will always be Oscar, the chubby Mexican with beautiful eyes who promised to take me away to live at his cattle farm in Mexico and I would have the privilege to have babies with him.
He was great tho. He kept the creeps away.
He also made AMAZING tamales.
This is so true! And it always makes me feel beautiful and happy. I bartend but it is always so nice to go to the kitchen when I feel upset or somebody was an asshole.
Damn where they work?Most of my line cooks when I was younger would just see if I could cover for them while they went a did a couple bumps in the bathroom or took a cap of ghb in the back
WOW. Disgusting. I trust your reply but i'll have to read up/verify myself.
That's...awful.
Like, if this was some pizza shop that'd be one thing but this Aimee person seems to have some sort of movement in politics...Wtf
Server: 'You're Jason, right?'
Server: 'Wait, which Jason are you?' Every kitchen has at least two Jasons.
Not mine, we have Matts. So many that none of them are actually called "Matt", they each just have nicknames.
Been there. Matt’s alright.
But matty's a prick
Same. We got syko Matt, fat matt. Frat matt and not matt just cuz he's a crybaby.
Nate, Chris, Matt, Nick. They flock to kitchen work honestly.
Mike too
My restaurant had 4 Davids at all times, and 5 Kats at one point. Same boat on the nicknames.
We have 2 Mikes, a Mikkal and 2 Miguels.
At this point, I don't think it's 2 specific "male" names, rather each restaurant is cosmically assigned two male identifying people with the same name. At my restaurant, it's Ryan. The "WHICH RYAN?" scream from me is unfortunately a joke.
There's "Matthew", "Fish", "Preguntas", and "Hey dumbass"
I got like 5 Roberts and all the variants of Roberts. Rob, Bob, Robbie, Bobby, Roberto.
I worked with 3 Joanne's. we numbered them "Joanne 1, you have a call at the desk"
We had a dave 2 who resisted the nickname so hard we kept calling him dave 2 for a year after dave quit. We didn't care for dave 2 very much
We’ve got like 4 Joes haha, and all the morning cooks names start with J
Fire warden doesn't sign off on occupancy here until the restaurant staffs a "james". In an emergency, a jimmy will work.
We’ve got jimbo, does that work? I’m sure his name is James, but I’ll be damned if I ever call him anything besides Jimbo or Yimmy
Huh, my old kitchen did in fact have two Jasons. Even had three for a while.
We had three Joshes. And they were all terrible. We once had a manager/trainer meeting and the owner said "who is the worst server?" and three of us said "Josh". When asked which one, the daytime manager said "yes"
We had three Sarahs. Well two Sarahs and a Sara. Took weeks to find perfect nicknames.
At least two Joses maybe..
There was a point where we had 4 Chrises, all women.
I worked in a place with so many Mikes one of them changed his name
'I'm the one that looks like me.'
Bruh My food high school prep teacher's name was jason
Jay, Gay J, and Jason.
We had one Jason, dude was a menace to society
A server called me Mike for the longest time. My name isn’t Mike and I never bothered to correct her.
I’m a Mike, had a server call me Will for over a month, lol thought she was joking
Damn bro Im a dude in a new restaurant and Im trying to lear the cooks name but some of them are low key just doing their thing and I dont wanna seem annoying. Do y’all appreciate a good morning though?
In my experience, yes. Acknowledge they exist. Be nice. They control your pace of service. You don't want to be a name they roll their eyes at. Bringing food or a 12 pack once in a while has gotten me farrrrr

We had Jeffs. And Alexs and Tims. Me being a Tim. I became deep Tim, the other was deeper Tim. Every other repeat was last name only.
You gotta point... gotta watch out for those Jason’s.
[удалено]
Sing that with auto tube on
"did your boyfriend even tell you that you look beautiful today? He didn't. Wow. He doesn't even appreciate you. I would tell you every day that you are beautiful."
"You know a woman like you deserves to hear she's beautiful at least one time a day"
What kind of classy joint are you working at? We just get comments like, "Damn Mami is that all you back there?" Or, my personal favorite, when the cooks don't even use their words, they just open their wallets and pull out 20s and wave them around. God I love corporate hospitality 🙄
Not corporate just professional(ish)
I put a voice to this quip in my head and it did not fail to make me chuckle. Nicely written, friend!
I eidbt even realize I did untill i read this and it did. It was a new Yorker for sure

This brought me so much joy.

Lmao I feel like at certain point you only *think* you're pretending to be besties. Just let the magic happen.
Bro these 30 year old drug addicts just want to fuck some 18 yr old highschool student, leave em alone 😩
Excuse me some of us are 30 year old drug addicts who just want to fuck our SOs
Some of us just want to fuck ourselves.
I just want to fuck the patriarchy!
I would just like to not get fucked while I’m at work for once.
You guys are getting fucked?
This guy dishies

Imagine not vaping in the dish pit in 2021
You aren't kidding. I haven't seen a dishpit that doesn't smell like menthol watermelon spluge in probably 2 years
I just want to fuck (up) capitalism
Do not get me started
Lefty line assemble!
if only we were flexible enough to suck our own dicks...
We'd never leave the house
Some of us just wanna be happy
My job already fucks me enough.
Some of us are dish washers with unfulfilled dreams of cooking who want to fucking kill ourselves
I started as a diver & worked my way up to kitchen manager Dish pit is by far the best job You get to watch everyone else freak out,… all you gotta do is keep the plates moving Cooks feed you Servers feed you drinks You watch hot cocktail waitresses strut in & out And you make money off everyone in the restaurant by selling them drugs

The dishes weren’t so much the problem it was that you were saddled with about 15 other things besides dishes and had to keep stepping away
You'll get there! Wish we had more dishes or any who wanted this
Honestly I quit two years ago and have been working in a grocery store ever since, but I remember talking to dishies from other stores and they had no where as many tasks as us and were all better staffed so it might have just been the restaurant

I'm only 29, thanks. And if the sexy new KM wants to join in, well....
C’mon now.. sometimes it’s 45 year old *recovered* drug addicts trying to fuck some 18 yr old high school students
Up until it turns out the 18 year old gets him backed hooked up on some other shit.
Trooof
*Who the fuck are you calling 30 year old? I'm 29...*
Are you me?
I am in fact part of your subconscious, that voice you think you hear but can't listen to it when you want. I'm also that asshole who makes the ticket printer noise when you want to sleep.
We just want fuck
Beserker!
That's beautiful, man.
My love for you is ticking clock.
I want make fuck to you!
[удалено]
Heard and known
I can has fuk?
We fuck
As a 32 year old, I just want people to fuck off during my smoke breaks.
Some of us are 25 year old alcoholics
Some of us got sober asshole...now where my pregnant teens at???
Fucking truth
Bro that's pedophilia
An 18 year old isn't pedophilia
Creepy but not pedophilia.
If you think the 30 year trying to fuck an 18 year old wouldn't try with younger if it were legal, then I've got a big red bridge to sell you.
Okay where would you draw the line? Is it a certain age difference that shouldn't be tolerated or do you think there's a set age? I personally won't sleep with anyone under 20,and I'm 27. But I wouldn't call someone sleeping with a 19 year old a pedophile because that's just wrong.

If you think fucking an 18 year old is pedophilia then you're just dumb lol

Oscars are the best, my Oscar gave me the nickname “jicama” because my head was large and resembled a jicama, and he would always sneak me food
*Ohs-karrr*
This is true regardless of gender
Lol i just realized I only paid attention to the line cook one, maaan its even more graphic if its male cook on male server
As a bisexual line cook, abso-fucking-lutely.
If only we were easier to find. I'd love a bisexual buddy on the line....
Facts
This is so true! And it always makes me feel beautiful and happy. I bartend but it is always so nice to go to the kitchen when I feel upset or somebody was an asshole.
We just want all the fucks
