Top Ten clues that the restaurant where you work may be closing soon:
10. The boss says they need to net $5000 during the weekend to stay open, and theres only $250 worth of food.
9. The cook and the dishwasher are the same person, and he got his hours cut.
8. Ice for drinks must be havested from the back of the freezer.
7. Cook must come up with specials that don't require water, it's getting shut off.
6. Dinner specials include a deep fryer.
5. Payday is a race to the bank.
4. Waitstaff must pay themselves in flatware.
3. All the mail is at once red, and unread.
2. It's an Asian place, and there's no rice.
...and the number one clue that your place is closing...
1. The owner shoots himself in the head.
Well, I'm waiting for that one, anyway...
Looks like my gamble failed, I decided to drop my dishwashing job with people I like, for a better paying job, working for self-serving retards.
I was told we are on super thin ice.
The owner called a meeting on a day that everyone who reads the mail knows the water will be shut off. He said it's to make sure we are ready for the "rush".
I think it's just a ruse, and it will become a bunch of people looking at a locked door.
So I'm making a resume, and I'm including this list as the front page.
These guys remind me of every wet-brained concert promoter that cut so many corners the port-a-potties overflow, and the amount of tickets sold are double the amount of seating.
I hate itwhen people play with each other's lives like that.
They don't care about anybody. I think it comes from being the only person you are aware of.
The biggest problem is that the two owners don't want to do a lick of work; I hear they are proud of it. They don't know anything about the food service industry. I think they just had to have food to serve booze, so they did.
It's so funny: they sent a guy to consult with the kitchen about cooking and it was quickly very clear that the guy they sent has no idea what he is talking about. My guess is that he cooks in his house, and thinks he knows his stuff. We just agreed with him, and laughed at him when he left. He blew a lot of our time, and in the end said nothing meaningful or helpful. HAHAHA!
So, I'm seeing a culture of people making decisions with no information, just a steady line of B.S. And it's B.S. that they believe.
I think I want to be a barista.

not knowing where you work, and then reading the succession of work-related rants (at different places no less!) gives me the fun game of guess-the-restaurant. "now who could these losers be, this time?"
i dont know, of course, if i have ever been right; but since i only eat at a small handful of places (and have never seen you there?), i can only imagine i am not to lose sleep over it. well, except the part of the workers getting dinked over -- that i care about. but i mean the restaurant closing, otherwise.
as for barista -- i have heard that it is the one job where you get respect (and pay and benefits) in this town. well, not the only one, of course, but its fairly decent compared to most places. then again, you do hafta know how to do that steamy thing, and i sure dont.
I once worked as manager of an italian place in Minneapolis.
I had to make coffee drinks and didn't have the foggyest idea how.
I made mochas with the un-sweetened chocolate and made people sick.
Then a Lybian gentleman instructed me on the history and modern use of the steamy thing and all its functions.
Just like all the other crap, people have problems, if I can get a funny rant out of it, I sleep good at night.
Can't keep a clown down in this town.
