Early evening. It's a fairly quiet evening and one of the cooks is wandering around finding things to clean. He spots a mark on the ceiling that ends up annoying him. The mark is on a glass covering of a light fixture. He decides to climb a ladder over the hot equipment (yes, I know, very fucking stupid!) and give it a clean. He isn't happy with the result and decides the best option is to take the fixture down.
Yeah. He dropped it. A three foot piece of glass fell to the ground. It landed on the grill and the deep fat fryer, shattering into a million pieces. The kitchen was left in shocked silence, while a co-worker ran out.
CW: Did you hear that?
Me: What's happened?
CW: Come and look.
Myself and the manager walked in. There was glass EVERYWHERE.
Manager: Fucks sake. Right, kitchens closed. Turn everything off. Get the vacuum cleaner.
It's a good job we have such understanding customers!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SC: I would like to order some meals please.
Me: Oh I'm sorry, but we have had to close our kitchen for the evening.
I point to the massive chalk board sign next to the customers face that states this.
Me: A large piece of glass has fallen out the ceiling and shattered in there. We need to close to avoid any form of contamination.
SC: Oh it's ok! I'm only ordering a salad.
Me: The kitchen closing also includes salad.
SC: But that doesn't count!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SC: Is this sign telling the truth??
Me: Yes, it is incapable of lying.
SC: But I brought my family for dinner! What can we eat then??
Me: We have bar snacks...
SC: Like a burger?
Me: No.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SC: Where else am I supposed to eat??
Me: I recommend *Japanese restaurant* It's amazing.
SC: No!
Me: If you like Italian food there's *Italian restaurant*
SC: No!
Me: There's the Chinese place, the Mexican, the Jamaican, Burger Bar, *Rival Pub*, McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Steak House, Other Italian Restaurant, Indian, Pizza Place, American Diner-
SC: There's no choice in this town!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SC: What happened??
Me: *explains*
SC: Well, if they are really careful it should be ok.
Me: I am not putting any food orders through.
SC: Surely they will spot a piece of glass!
Me: Some of the glass is very small. The entire kitchen needs cleaning from top to bottom.
SC: I can pick the glass out myself!
Me: NO! Plus all the equipment is off and will be cool by now.
SC: I can't believe this. I'm a grown man! I'll decide what's good for me.
Me: Broken glass isn't good for anyone.
Yeah. He dropped it. A three foot piece of glass fell to the ground. It landed on the grill and the deep fat fryer, shattering into a million pieces. The kitchen was left in shocked silence, while a co-worker ran out.
