Waitered during university part time at a fancy Italian fusion place. Poor sap tells me, to tell the chef to ‘drain’ the marsala sauce from the entire sea bass dish which is stupid. Chef cooks another meal but tells the prep cooks to spit in the meal..which they did. I just handed the dish, explained the chef made a brand new dish especially for him. Let’s just say, i avoid that place after graduation.
Never upset the chef!! Another place I worked was buffett style. When it was Maria’s turn to make the potato salad, watch out. She would but all the ingredient’s in an industrial size garbage can and put her potato salad mixing tennis shoes on and jump into the garbage can to do her dance to mix the ingredients.
Employee’s got to eat for free so it was common to ask who made the potato salad. Maria would Hotsy her tennis shoes and let dry for her next turn.
