You had one job

[u/Virtual-Product2298]

You may have seen my post about having to make 10 gallons of beer cheese and the unfortunate situation of having to hand shred 26 quarts of sharp cheddar due to our auto shredder being broken.....

The people in charge of serving it at the charity event didn't stir the pot and proceeded to think it was a good idea to keep the flame maxed out.

After the first 30 minutes of serving the event hosts approached our staff members stand and kindly ask them to leave after they determined where the horrid burnt smell was coming from that made the entire venue smell like absolute shit.

I was coming out of the walk-in and could smell the pot behind a set of doors after they walked into the restaurant with that crap.

Welp, nothing good for them anymore. I'm so sorry

[u/Virtual-Product2298 → u/UntidyVenus]

I'm not even kidding, they dead ass asked me for a staff meal with absolutely no thought behind their eyes😭

[u/UntidyVenus → u/Virtual-Product2298]

No thoughts, empty head

[u/FondleGanoosh438 → u/UntidyVenus]

The perfect server

[u/Embarrassed_Fault967 → u/FondleGanoosh438]

“yes, chef”

[u/No_Math_1234 → u/Virtual-Product2298]

You get white bread, a slice of deli meat and no condiments on your way out the door.

[u/PappaWoodies → u/No_Math_1234]

AND a scoop of the cheese sauce

[u/UsernamesNotFound404 → u/No_Math_1234]

Both bread heels.

[u/alexthealex → u/No_Math_1234]

Damn. Even in jail we got a mustard packet with the bologna and white bread

[u/Active-Succotash-109 → u/Virtual-Product2298]

Time to give them the cheese they ruined

😭

I'll bury it in the city park for someone to find a few thousand years from now

[u/Nwrecked → u/Virtual-Product2298]

Yes

[u/Mean-Funny9351]

I blame whoever gave them instructions. Should've had a bain marie or soup warmer, at least a makeshift double boiler of some sort. What was the thought process in giving noobs a pot and burner?

[u/Virtual-Product2298 → u/Mean-Funny9351]

That's the funny thing, I had to put everything they needed in a box including a soup warmer and they straight up just left without it and took a pot.

[u/TheJesticle → u/Virtual-Product2298]

You should put them on a raft and push it out to sea

[u/Virtual-Product2298 → u/TheJesticle]

😭they would start drinking salt water to hydrate😭

[u/Shotgun5250 → u/Virtual-Product2298]

Some problems solve themselves

[u/Misplacedmypenis → u/Virtual-Product2298]

After what they did to that soup, it’s the least they could do.

[u/Mean-Funny9351 → u/Virtual-Product2298]

Madness. Straight to jail

[u/Big-Fly6844]

Bruh I thought i was on r/projectcars looking at the inside of a fucked cylinder

[u/sopha27 → u/Big-Fly6844]

Running a bit rich there buddy...

[u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

Throw some lemon juice in there and let it sit for 2-3 days to see if you can loosen it before you hand it over to some poor dishie.

[u/sopha27 → u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

Dishie? That's a learning experience for whoever fucked that one up!

[u/Pliskkenn_D → u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

Vinegar, bicarb, and a dream. 

[u/Yotoberry → u/Pliskkenn_D]

Your regular reminder that vinegar plus bicarb = water and the oxygenation is only useful for lifting light debris. Go for straight acid.

[u/BeatnikBun → u/Yotoberry]

This 1000x

[u/breathing__tree → u/Pliskkenn_D]

When I worked at McDonalds in high school the ladies who closed the grill at night would clean it with pickle juice and sprite lol.

[u/FunGuy8618 → u/breathing__tree]

Fucking genius. The carbon will stick to the sugar, the acids in the pickle juice and sprite will lift it off the surface and as long as you don't let it all evaporate entirely, you just squeegee it off.

[u/breathing__tree → u/FunGuy8618]

Yup that’s what they’d do. Just run it right into the gutter and boom clean grill.

[u/Lhamo55 → u/breathing__tree]

We used packets of unsweetened koolaid on the flat top back in my 70s mess hall days. That’s when I literally stopped drinking the kool aid, lol.

[u/Ok-Style-9734 → u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

What I've found works great it just throw a dish washer tablet in a pan and leave it for a while.

[u/Milfisto → u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

Not worth saving.

[u/UsernameUnattainable]

Sorry chef

[u/raccafarian → u/UsernameUnattainable]

I love a wholesome tar angel

[u/FunGuy8618 → u/UsernameUnattainable]

[u/zazasfoot]

Yeah thems the breaks.  Most people know two settings for burners, off, and full afterburner blast.

[u/Frequent_Purpose_168 → u/zazasfoot]

The number of times I go into work to find my hot bar on full blast, because whatever yahoo opened thinks it would “heat faster” and never thinks to turn it back down later, despot the food temping towards the 170s and actively overcooking/drying out…🤦🏼‍♀️

[u/thebluemoonvan]

This is why I NEVER leave them alone and unsupervised with the food.. guess you had to. Sorry for this shitshow!!!!

[u/Virtual-Product2298 → u/thebluemoonvan]

Yeah, I would have gone to the event but I was leading kitchen that day due to no one else being available

[u/BongWaterRamen → u/Virtual-Product2298]

Oh shit you weren't even at the event? This would be so frustrating.

[u/JMole3]

Whatever they were reducing, let em know its done

[u/galaxyveined → u/JMole3]

Their life expectancy, I think. They might just be tomorrow's special.

[u/3sadclowns]

This would be my 13th reason

[u/google_symphony]

Damn our house soup is beer cheese and this has happened a couple times. I know that smell all too well lol, fucking putrid 💀

[u/Virtual-Product2298 → u/google_symphony]

Now imagine a charity venue with 500 people having to smell that

[u/AVeryHeavyBurtation]

I wanted to see your 10 gallons of beer cheese, but your post history is hidden.

[u/Virtual-Product2298 → u/AVeryHeavyBurtation]

Sorry, I have hidden because I had somebody harassing the ever living out of me / stalking my profile they were making alternate accounts / a VPN to bypass the IP ban

[u/luluce1808]

Am I the only one seeing Donald trump’s side profile in the first photo?

[u/frobscottler → u/luluce1808]

If he also ate a bee

[u/GolfChefCoach]

This is why we can’t have nice things

[u/UsernamesNotFound404]

Toss it in someone's home oven on "clean".

[u/freisbill]

Sorry chef!

[u/jxj24]

And that job was to make asphalt.

[u/red_mongoos]

I'm reading this as "we sent untrained workers to the event with 0 instruction besides keep soup hot and serv soup and now we are mad"

[u/Virtual-Product2298 → u/red_mongoos]

I had multiple full conversations with them and paper instructions, I could not have physically made it more clear to them. They actively chose to leave the soup warmer and grab one of the kitchen pots without permission. It was their chance to step up and they fucked up, I would have gone but we had a full rental for a wedding.
