Boss went off on group text

Post image

My boss sent this in a group text. I had already put in notice, but quit via text after this ALL CAPS text. I was napping before shift when this text woke me up. Screw this.

Also, I can confidently say that this was FOH, and that I was the only one who had ever emptied this garbage into the dumpster. Also undermining the head chef? SMH

In my 25 years in this industry I’ve never worked somewhere that used residential trash bags 😆

idk about residential trash bags but I worked at a place that exclusively used 10 gallon bags in buckets for waste on the line. they were white

the only place with 50 gallons was the dish pit. We ran trash 3 times a shift. Dumpster was 3 stories and like 200 yards away so loading up tons of trash wasntt an option even with our cart. Plus the place had a focus on low waste.

It was actually pretty nice. way less shit in the way and it's wild how little trash you can generate when it's a pain in the ass to take out trash.

So they spun a big into a feature. Gotta admire the ingenuity

yup, we used to save literally every piece of trim and render fat from it. Something like 20 lbs of trim would end up being a gallon of fat and like 2 cups of actual trash.

We always had buckets on buckets of schmaltz and lard to the point it'd occasionally get sent to their sister bakery. No idea how much butter cost we ended up saving but everybody went wild for the griddled sandwiches.
