worked at an all inclusive wellness retreat for a 3 month work study. Hung out with kitchen staff a bunch.. They are the most insane alcoholics I have ever met. All day.. Everyday.. buzzed or blacked out. Thats just the alcohol.

Please understand, he has PTSD. A customer ordered a plain hot dog with nothing on it, which was fine. But then, customer grabbed a fistful of ketchup packets on his way out the door. Didn't say a word, just left .

>it was a bad year for America, a bad year for those in the service. can't say I expect civilians to understand. slinging sausages and peppers to the folks in country, you could feel the tension in the air like gasoline fumes. no bills in the tip jar, you might find a quarter here and there but the animals could have booby trapped it. wasn't safe to even go out to the dumpsters to have a cigarette and talk to the hostesses. Charlie could be all over you before you even put a milk crate in front of the door. People ask, why? why go out there? why step through the doors of that kitchen into dante's inferno? they'll never understand

The restaurant makes it snow during summer just for one customer. They serve off-menu items to make people happy. At no point in the show does any character freak out because a customer ask for a substitute.

yeah... when he did 2 tours at chilis he witnessed a party of 2 order well done steaks with ketchup on the side... he gets night sweats from it to this day

I just worked over 13 hours straight nonstop since 6 am this morning while dealing with a kitchen that's over 90 degrees Fahrenheit where everything needs to be iced constantly to stay in temp because the freezers and coolers can't keep up with the heat and fans dont do shit, drenched in sweat and shivering every time i enter the walk in cooler, while training a new guy who was getting destroyed at his station, and having my boss micromanage me all day with stupid bullshit or trying to blame me for mistakes that he made. All while serving over 400 guests with 3 cooks. I got 4 hours of sleep last night, only had a small breakfast and mountain dew and nicotine to keep me going.

When I finished today I felt dizzy and my head started to hurt bad. I could barely drive home and threw up all over myself in the car.

I was about to call out tomorrow for the first time but I just found out another coworker might quit tomorrow because of petty managers so I might be on double duty, stuck with another 12 hour shift 3 days in a row. I feel more miserable and sociopathic than Patrick Bateman. Need to start hitting the bottle again.

yes i hear kitchen ppl are always on drugs/drinks. they don't have to be front facing so it's a way to keep them out of jail
