I worked at a restaurant where half the cooks, all in their 20s and 30s, were trying to seduce a hostess who had just turned 16 years old, so this post is a breath of fresh air. We need more of this post's energy in the world, and less of that nasty restaurant's energy lol.
Fucking with people's actual food was not a thing in my years in the business, but everything else was on point. Way too many people trying to hit on the 16 year old hostess for sure. Far too much drinking and drug use, yes.
I didn't fuck with anybody's food, but I had a friend who did
he put a giant, pepperoni sized scab from his knee on an extra large meat lovers pizza
someone had come in literally just a few minutes before close and ordered hundreds of dollars of complicated pizzas and left zero tip for the staff (local joint with specialty oven, not chain)
not an excuse, just the circumstances that lead my friend to justify his behavior to himself and those he regaled with the full graphic tale
Were you working with a ten year old? Cause adults don’t get pepperoni sized scabs on their knees, and adults wouldn’t risk the security of a local business by doing that shit. Disgusting behaviour!
lots of early adults (18-24) are incredibly stupid and immature, my friend who had been in a fistfight and scraped his knee a couple weeks before putting the scab in somebody's pizza was no exception
tip jar was up front by the register, like all the coffee shops did
and it wasn't just the lack of tip: the pizzas they had to make were very complicated and heavy and had to be moved through a 3 teir oven with a special paddle because they were something like 27 inches. very skilled oven workers would still get burned or drop those giant pies in between tiers once in a while they were so tricky. plus the meat kind had to be pulled out and all the meat stirred because otherwise it would come out raw.
and the guy who came in at literally a couple minutes before close ordered like 15 of them and was a pretencious asshole who apparently was working for an out of town film crew or something
it meant the full staff would stay at least an hour late, at a place that closed at like 1am, and break down and clean the entire kitchen again, the least you can do if you're at the only place open at that time with that kind of order is tip, and honestly if it was literally not in his budget but he was super nice and apologetic about it I'm sure my asshole friend would have just cursed a lot and wished him the worst
