Quote of the day... possibly the year

"Save it for the day crew" Ms Tangle.

This is what a seasoned server said about putting away soup at the end of the night. We have a small retail section which we stock with soups, sausage, pasta, and cheese. It is the FOH staffs job to put the food out for retail. They don't have to make the soup or heat it up, they just put it away.
I only was able to get a few hours sleep last night. I woke at one point and could not stop repeating that quote. As soon as my eyes close I see "Save it for the day crew" written on the back of my eyelids. I am ready to scream. What the hell is wrong with people? This isn't some untrained noob, she has a restaurant management degree, the same one I have. I must have skipped class on the day this technique was taught.

You could say his statement sums up the fundamental problems with society. No one cares about how they effect their neighbor, it is all about ME.

I am truly worried about my restaurant. With the owner opening another place who will light a fire under peoples ass'? It is obvious that employees cannot be left to do small tasks unsupervised.

I find it hilarious that, even @ an primo establishment like yours, day/night dichotomy still exists. I hope I'm not the only one to chime in about those unlucky assholes that work both shifts. You should have told her, "I'm the f'ing day crew, Dangle."

Starchy, you brought a fucking tear to my eye. Well said my friend. This is exactly why we have this blog. Because I believe that somewhere out there somebody understands.
