Kitchen Nightmares

[Mr Hero]

This one still pisses me off.

Guest starts rummaging through our plates and silverware I had already set out. He then goes into the kitchen and pours some cereal. I don't know if he put milk on it before I kicked him out of there. I had to very sternly told him the kitchen is employees only. I then made a big show to lock the door. I normally keep it open for convenience.

Stuff like this is why I use air quotes when referring to them as guests. As someone's guest, I would not presume to just help myself to stuff.

kinda like the SCs who think the employee break room is open to customers. even if you have to wander through the back for a few minutes to find it.

Ooh. Kitchen invaders. That's when you need the food police.

Or a Roach Hotel, Extra-Huge Gigantic size.

I wonder who sells those . . . we need those at work for the once in a blue moon backroom invaders.

I do know you'll have a hell of a time getting a rat-size glue trap off your shoe...

[BroSCFischer]

I'm seeing it now.

A door that says "Employees Only". Customer ignores sign. Walks in. Shoes get stuck, then socks (ala Marv from on of the "Home Alone" movies). Then customer starts yelling and screaming for help. (Un)fortunately, the room is sound proof.

3 months later, it's time to empty the trap.

That would be totally awesome. Could you see the infomercial on tv featuring Vince the Sham-Wow guy?

Definitely, because the do-it-yourself methods of food security don't work. I know - I put lox on my bagel, but it didn't stop the noodles Romanoff, or keep the German cake from being Stollen.

Somehow I get the feeling the trap would need to be emptied more often than that...

Me too, especially if a coworker or manager were to be inadvertently caught in it.

this is extremely annoying to me too. Once I had a group of rowdy boys harassing me cuz it was 3am and every place was closed and they were hungry and what'd you mean you only have candy & fruit to eat?! They were demanding tacos and meat; what d'you think we're a fricking mexican restaurrant?! After repeatedly telling them there was nothing, they proceeded to harass the donut guy, the vendor who bring the donuts for the breakfast, who stupidly said he had donuts (I hate that guy) and they went crazy & followed him into our back kitchen, where he nonclantantly put the donuts down & walked out. They scarfed up practically all of them before I kicked them out, like a pack of hyenas. Not even ashamed! SMH

[Desk clerk knows all]

Some people seem to think since the breakfast is "free" the should be able to get it any time. We always have people who are taking the shuttle to the airport before breakfast starts demand they be given some breakfast. I guess they didn't read the sign that says we offer a free breakfast between 6am and 10am.
