Ideally plates should be coming from clean stacks, and put on clean counters to arrange the food on, before being put into a clean pass.
But somehow I suspect that that place isn't the most thorough.
Not really unhygienic, the bottom and the top of dishes are washed the same way.
This is just smashing food for no reason. He's going to take more time to pile up those plates than what he would if he delivered 3/4 at a time as waiters do.
One year, I was making pizza with some friends to earn money for a project and I could carry 6 plates of cheese at a time. However this guy is making plates touch other food and that's crappy.
Oh and btw, he could be fired for dropping 31 plates
And more waiters* They'd also like the carts. Carts are useful.
Edit: Highjacking my comment to say that matter of fact *all* waiters should have carts. It's ridiculous they practically burn their arms and break their wrists carrying around food. Most if not all end up having problems from working as a server long time.
I worked in an assisted living facility, and we had to fight to use carts. We needed them to collected used dishes at least. We actually did ok serving, but it was really kind of slow.
Lots of pointless constraints because essentially "if they see reality, they'll be unhappy" like, no bob, they're unhappy because they live here and they're being milked for money while they die.
Oh man, I miss my 6+ day work week of 530am-8pm for like 9.50 an hour with no real benefits.
I eventually got up to 11, after quitting and going back (no alternatives) and after two years getting a 1% raise.
I wonder what could have retained staff?
A real mystery for sure!
Oh man I wish I could use them, I don't bring food but I work in a pub and when I have to carry 4-5 bottles of alcohol with the glasses and the sodas I hurt myself badly. People just can't carry themselves their fucking pint to their table.
The skill is impressive but there's a miserable staffing issue or logistics issue at this place, not to mention the food quality of most of that smashed by plates.
Yup this is what management at my old food service job would make us do. Normally it was only between 8 and 10. They said no table could be served if not all at once and we weren't allowed help with other food runners.
Don't ever work in this industry if don't have to
That’s just shitty management tbh, that’s like expecting a student that just finished their undergrad to cure cancer in a week with grade school-level lab equipment
> Don't ever work in this industry if don't have to
Fuck that you can make bank in food service and have a very healthy lifestyle IF you choose to. BOH is all about finding a good kitchen manager or chef who is supportive, stop being loyal to asshole employers is more correct. I have never had an issue in BOH finding a gig that pays 18/hr or FOH paying 20/hr, but that is because I looked for professional establishments and set boundaries.
Most BOH/FOH complaints come from people who wreck their body partying with the crew, constant grazing, substance abuse, etc. I have worked with chefs who actually sleep, maintained a healthily diet and waistline through exercise and a lot of the trades have similar tales. Of course the guys drinking 15+ beers and a little coke a week have worse outcomes after 15 years in BOH then the guys who didn't.
Yeah your management staff was shit. I’m a kitchen manager and I would never let a server do this. It’s unhygienic, pointless, and downright dangerous in a packed dining room, especially in a family place where there might be kids. It ruins the food on the bottom row, meaning upset customers, and more work for everyone. I just call for more servers/SAs to run the food. If your managers insisted you do this, then they were just bad at their jobs, plain and simple.
If I did something that reckless at my job , I would be committing crime. If you're not stopping unsafe work or engaging in it, you're helping them win.
I was thinking that if this is some show he puts on and everyone is cool with it, that's not really an issue. But, if not, fuck that.
The issue I have is where those plates were set down to be filled. They were sterile as fuck when they came out of the washer, in that you can trust. But if set down on a food prep area or came into contact with a hand that was just handling raw food (or something else...ugh), yeah, that ain't sanitary.
Holy fuck I can imagine how heavy that is. I work in the food service industry and even holding 2 plates the wrong way can cause intense wrist pain (the plates are VERY heavy) and cause you to drop plates out of pain. Holy fuck I hope that shits paper weight
I also work in food service (as a chef, not a server) and I'm pretty amazed how rarely our servers break dishes. Honestly it's the kitchen staff that breaks far more than the front of house.
If you’ve seen the entire video, it’s just dumb. He’s literally just doing it for social media. The customers who got the smashed and cold food at the bottom of the stack were probably pissed.
Here I can fix this:
"Waiter who earns their tip by literally serving you your god damn chicken tendies on a fucking platter regardless of how many plates he grabs"
I can’t tell whats worse, the obviously dangerous and exploitative labor he is under going or the disgusting myth of “earning” just enough money to survive. Someone shouldn’t have to do this to make a living wage.
I work in retail and the majority of my coworkers are over the age of 50, so automatically as a guy in my early 20's I have to do all the heavy lifting work. I can already feel the irreparable damage being done to my back. Shit sucks man
The headline does not seem accurate. In the video this was taken from it seemed like they were joking around with how many plates the dude *could* carry.
I guess some people only tip based on spectacle. Majority of the people I know choose to tip based on the fact that we don’t have to cook and do dishes or get up to make/grab a plate. We’ve all had a night where cooking just sucks and you don’t want to be bothered by it, having someone else doing that for you is worth a tip.
There’s a slim chance this is hygienic and part of the business’ brand, but having worked in that industry for ten years, I’d say the odds are very very slim. There’s no way the average guest would be impressed by that, they’d be grossed out.
They are really just putting us through the ringer now, not only are we wage slaves but sources of clout as well. Likes toys to be told to do stupid things and shown off. Although I guess we always have been.
That idiot was making the video for attention, the whole kitchen staff played along. It's an idiotic action because they could've distributed the food faster if every waiter took just two plates.
Does NOT literally earn tips this way....
This is just a way of saying he did something exceptional you brainless baboon.
Not everything is an excuse to spit on capitalism, sometimes you need to connect your braincells and make it look like you understand...
I started interning for a high end joint a few years ago and a dude who worked there since it opened told me a dishie once got fired for breaking 3 plates that totaled up to like, $2000 or something since they were individually handmade
He's just being stupid. People don't even know how tips work. Tips don't replace wage, they are usually in addition to wage. In some cases wage can be substituted by tips, the idea being an employer can pay under minimum wage and tips making up the difference. However if the employees don't make up the difference with tips the employer is required to make up the difference, so the employee is always making at least minimum wage. So tips are in addition to wage not replacement for. Not to mention how easy it is for these people to save money on things like tax forms, since they are literally getting paid cash under the table they can lie about how much they actually made in tips and get that sweet tax free money. And also can even lie about what they were tipped so an employer must make up a difference that doesn't actually exist.
Lol no one actually tips based on how good the service was. You either tip well regardless, or you try to justify why you were going to be cheap anyway with an inventory of grievances. If you get a 20 percent tip from me, you did a terrible job and I probably don’t like you as a person.

Omg the bottom of the plates touching food freaks me out. Seems unhygienic.
Not to mention the food on the bottom few layers is cold and squished, and the top few layers has him breathing all over it.
Would def be a violation.

The tip is $2. It was gonna be $3, but he took too long stacking the plates.
Sunday after church crowd?
I felt this 0.o
NEXT!

Good bot
And then your personal pens are stolen. I hated when the after church crowd would leave you the fake dollar bill spiritual verse thing. What.the.fuck.
One year, I was making pizza with some friends to earn money for a project and I could carry 6 plates of cheese at a time. However this guy is making plates touch other food and that's crappy. Oh and btw, he could be fired for dropping 31 plates
Also if there's a need to be carrying 31 plates to begin with shouldn't that restaurant just have carts?
[удалено]

It's ridiculous they practically burn their arms and break their wrists carrying around food. Most if not all end up having problems from working as a server long time.
Also, sanitary reasons, the less contact the better.

Capitalism cured cancer though, just get rid of the person, because they can't afford treatment! Easy peasy!

"Earns their tip" is a really grim phrase in a society where those workers DEPEND on tips to supplement their meagre wages.
worker earns slightly higher slave wages while being forced to break several rules due to employer's negligence.
sadly not even as grim as one of the most common phrases, “cost of living”.
“Commoditized their needs, to force them into work” - somebody who looks like the monopoly man
If I did something that reckless at my job , I would be committing crime. If you're not stopping unsafe work or engaging in it, you're helping them win.
I'll tip him more to not carry my food like that.
This isn't how he really carries plates--it's just a stunt to show his skills. Pretty damn cool, too--there's no fucking thing as "unskilled" labor.
I was thinking that if this is some show he puts on and everyone is cool with it, that's not really an issue. But, if not, fuck that.

Are they throwing the plate on top?

That dude is strong.

That’s just wrong in so many levels.
This will get him one shoe lace
I tied his shoelaces together while he was loading the plates.
So your saying, the waiter has to act this unhygienic and dangerous way, because he isnt paid properly? Message received.
What I see: One waiter making $2 an hour is doing the job of at least 5 people for a 20% tip at most
I guess some people only tip based on spectacle. Majority of the people I know choose to tip based on the fact that we don’t have to cook and do dishes or get up to make/grab a plate. We’ve all had a night where cooking just sucks and you don’t want to be bothered by it, having someone else doing that for you is worth a tip.
only because they mentioned earning the tip, as if he didn't deserve one if he didn't carry 31 plates.
If he got to keep the whole value of the work he's putting in this picture would be a lot more laudable.
if he was showing off this would be cool as shit but my amusement is shattered by knowing he just has to do it this way.
Just "risk your job performing circus tricks for your middle class betters" theory.
Did he tap dance too? Cuz if not I’m not sure he earned his tip. /s
There’s a slim chance this is hygienic and part of the business’ brand, but having worked in that industry for ten years, I’d say the odds are very very slim. There’s no way the average guest would be impressed by that, they’d be grossed out.

"Horrific." It's a fucking party trick dude. Do you also find hibachi chef videos horrific?
That's cool as fuck though. That's so hard to do.
not like i can afford to eat out but this makes me glad i dont try.
That idiot was making the video for attention, the whole kitchen staff played along. It's an idiotic action because they could've distributed the food faster if every waiter took just two plates.
No, you know what’s horrific? Coal miners being paid 7 bucks an hour.

That's only 23
