What don't you get about "first come, first serve"? *rants*

[magician5]

I gotta admit, my favorite thing is the people who are constantly on the "THEY TOUCHED MY FOOD!".

Seriously, welcome to the restaurant industry, you food WILL be handled by the people making it. I once read a review of one of my favorite restaurants (seriously, amazing food) which (on top of many amusing complaints( included the fact that the chefs were touching the food :P

Perhaps if you showed them the USDA standards on how many rodent droppings and insect parts are allowed in flour and canned tomatoes, etc...

Oh Heaven forfend that dudes who wash their hands 30 or more times a day (on a slow day) might be touching my food! Their hands are probably cleaner than mine are >_< ...After all, I just handed cash money to the cashier...

Exactly!! He just handled money which is filthy. I've had women pull wads of cash out of their bra, soaked with boob sweat. I've had people pull money out of shoes, pants, underwear, etc. I can't remember the statistic exactly, but somewhere around 80% of dollar bills have once been in a strippers thong. He just handled nasty boob, ass, stripper money and now he's going to eat his pizza with his HANDS. And he was upset that I used 2 cleaned, sanitized, gloved fingers to box up his food
Dam I knew I shouldn't have missed that "Use the Force" class for cooks *facepalm*

How the f*** are they supposed to make the food? Using telepathy? Of course they touched the food....Geeze. ARe there people on this planet that are this stupid?

As for people that don't understand the concept of first come first served...F*** them too. Maybe those people think that you can just squat and out comes food....

GAH!!!

Quick note: Pizza people have the following jobs:
1) Making (pretopping) pizza's
2) Cooking (dropping) pizza and breadsticks
3) Cutting, boxing and timing pizza and breadsticks

Lady1: What took so long?!
Me: How long have you been waiting?
L1: 10 minutes!
Me: That seems about right.
L1: They told me 7!
Me: We tell customers 7-10 minutes because, depending on how many pizzas are in the oven before it, the time can vary.
L1: Well thats decieving!
Me: I dropped the pizza as soon as you agreed to wait for it. As soon as it come out, I cut it and brought it to you.
L1: Whatever...*leaves*

Just a hint to avoid creating SCs - jargon is OK to use on your side of the counter, but customers probably won't understand it. A better response would have been "I started cooking the pizza as soon as you agreed to wait for it." - some customer is likely to refuse the pizza and demand a replacement be brought to them IMMEDIATELY because they don't want a pizza that "the clumsy moron dropped".

Nothing wrong with eating slightly dirty food anyway. It allows the body to adjust to infections. Sanitise everything and you'll be hit for six if you actually catch something because the immune system will have to pick up from square one.

Stop talking sense right this instant. The customers don't like it.

Ben will scream, " PEPPERONI ON FIREEEEEE"!!

And I will now be singing Brian Eno's "Baby's on Fire" in my head all day....

Before he left he kept telling me there might be a mess for me,

If a co-irker tells you there might be a mess, there WILL be a mess.

Later, i'm cutting a pizza with freshly cleaned hands covered in new gloves when...
Monk: Excuse me...miss....miss....

lol. Lovin' me some Monk. One of my pet peeves at the deli counter was the fixation so many customers had on Gloves = Sanitary. First off, my hands are CLEAN - a LOT cleaner than theirs. Secondly, there isn't some super duper force field barrier around the gloves. If I don't take sanitary precautions while wearing them, they can transfer yuckies about as well as hands. Third, until we get up to the 25th century or so, the number of people who have been safely fed by bare hands outnumbers those served with gloves a gazillion-fold. I didn't see them come into common/fast food sort of use until the early 90's, and there were a LOT of meals prepped before then.

jargon is OK to use on your side of the counter, but customers probably won't understand it.

Brain fart moment. I stick to this 'rule' myself in general, but...
As I left work last week, an elderly woman was approaching the door to the restaurant. I opened the door for her and she asked me how my day was. Without thinking, I replied "Great! Got all the skins done, and I'm outta here." We continued on our separate ways, and a few moments later it hit me that the nice lady probably had NO idea that 'skins' was in-house for 'pizza crusts.' oops.

...Lazy Man: Hey
Me:
LM: Can you go get me a spork?
Me: The sporks are over there sir *points*
LM: I don't wanna stand up.
Me: Well I'm leaving.
LM: It's your job to help me.
Me:I'll get it for you but where I plan on sticking it won't help the food get to your mouth any faster!

I know plenty about "first come" because it tends to happen to me all the time.
