Oh okay so they were tools about it too. Idk what’s wrong with people. If there’s shit getting thrown away that people want, and you don’t let them have it, you’re an asshole. If you think that encourages people to make more waste and you can’t like, tell the difference between normal waste and people doing that, you’re oblivious
Other people would be more brazen and literally go in to cook a bunch of food for themselves before their shift or before break.
yeah I definitely make my own lunch if I don’t want what I’ve got going on on the vegan station. But that’s not to take home, just because I’m sick of the other cooks’ food and also if i can’t take shit home i’m gonna make my employer pay for it
it was a 6-minute jog from my apartment.
i’m too lazy and dainty for such things so i drove but yeah it used to be a 2 minute drive from where we lived and half of that was waiting for two lights to change
god I fucking miss it. Having a house with a yard and a driveway that gets enough sun to grow tomatoes is nice but idk, even though the driving is only an hour a day it really feels like I suddenly have no free time after work. I DO, it just doesn’t feel like it

That’s it, they are oblivious. They are disconnected from the actual day-to-day labor in such a way they don’t actually know the ‘average’ amount of waste to expect. They have MBA brain and are trying to use abstract formulas and concepts to create ‘lean’ sigma chains or whatever the fuck, they are thinking idealistically not materialistically. At least that’s how the managers and bosses have been at restaurants I worked at. Anybody above ‘chef’ doesn’t know shit about cooking, they visit the site maybe a couple of times per year on surprise inspections, and General Managers/Principals don’t know anything either but think they do. Corporate sets the policy.
damn i wish the chefs where I’m at knew shit about cooking
the last time i called out sick the executive chef made collard greens for the vegan station without any salt… in fact i seem to be the only person who knows you don’t have to boil collard greens for over an hour to make them edible, actually
He saved them. I found them in the fridge the next day and thought this dude i hate made them but then found out no, the HEAD CHEF forgot salt
Or maybe he left it out on purpose because “there’s salt at the table” (that goes back to not knowing shit about cooking though, all these fuckers say it and i get saying it as a JOKE if you FORGOT but salt affects the cooking process and should definitely be added multiple times throughout the cooking process!
either way i hate shit like that because students are going to eat it thinking I made it and it’s going to taste like dogshit and they’re not gonna eat my vegan slop in the future
Damn. I worked in a bit more of a formalized kitchen it sounds like where the chefs were on the line during peak hours, screaming obscenities, all the cliches. They were assholes but did know how to cook.
The only way to know a business is to know the culture, the supply chains and customer interactions, and the day-to-day functionality of it. And that requires actually working on the ground level. You need to be able to model it somewhat, but usually a high school level of education is enough.
The posh heads can come in with their KPIs and their agendas, but they will never understand the business as well as a perceptive grunt who paid attention in a few math, English, biology, psychology, and economics classes. Or just a perceptive grunt who reads books.
Any capitalist business that doesn’t have a good idea of the reality on the ground (which is most of them) is going to have a huge exploitable weakness.
