Kitchen Nightmares

[BroSCFischer]

hotelnpa, I know exactly what you are talking about.

As a courtesy, because I felt bad about sending people out without breakfast, I asked to be able to put out cereal for them. They then raised a ruckus (with me) when they didn't get their waffles and bagels, etc. Even though they came down before 6AM.

Just couldn't wait for them to leave.

As a courtesy, we started to put breakfast at 5:30 for the workers who requested it. Normal breakfast hours are 6-10.

Some started to come down at 5:00-5:15 and would get in my way as I was trying to set the breakfast. They also wore their work boots in the breakfast area resulting in a lot of dirt all over the floor. Even when nicely asked to clean their boots, they still tracked in dirt.

These guys were pigs too and quite rude. They would leave the breakfast area a huge mess. By 6:00, I had to fully restock almost everything.

I told the manager I was tired of dealing with their BS. Even other guests were complaining about their dirty boots and rudeness. The manager talked to the leader about their behavior and they decided to stay somewhere else. Thank God!!!

They scarfed up practically all of them before I kicked them out, like a pack of hyenas. Not even ashamed! SMH

I wonder if they have any friends named Mary Jane?

put lox on my bagel, but it didn't stop the noodles Romanoff, or keep the German cake from being Stollen.

Next time someone tries to walk off with your food, start chasing after them and yelling "Ich bin ein Berliner! Ich bin ein Berliner!" ...should sop the little Wieners in their tracks.

*cracks knuckles* pun challenge, accepted.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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...

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Or a Roach Hotel, Extra-Huge Gigantic size.
