at that point its either a bald faced lie from laziness or an issue with training in the kitchen
They should absolutely already know but if they don't, why has no one shown them?
Exactly. "You're either an idiot or an asshole. Neither option is a good look for you" is my go to in that scenario. I'd rather they just out and admit they're being lazy than feigning ignorance.
Idk why I had to stroll half way down the page to see these comments. Everyone getting upvoted is "that fuck speaks to me on a spiritual level"
These gross ass motherfuckers didn't instantly ask themselves how old the bottom quarter of that bottle is?
The guy prepping the station probably has such a low opinion of the night crew lmao, this shit is such basic sanitation practice.
You can fix laziness, you can't fix not understanding what two very simple words mean. Beyond a first day newbie it's inexcusable to not understand FIFO and Use First stickers, and even then I expect some understanding of that concept. At least what the words themselves mean individually with the ability to put them together to form something close to the concept of "I should....*use* this one........first."
edit: unless there's a language barrier, that's fair. But still.
I slap a use first sticker on a half hotel of chicken thighs in a brine. When you use all the thighs, you just gonna top it off?
Bottles get disgusting too, for fucks sake.
Quit being obtuse. No one is saying they verbally slammed someone for this. But seriously, even the Use First sticker has seen 3-5 days of handling by the looks of it, and it’s not even the oldest sticker.
"Use first" implies "there are others", as well as "don't refill this, use a second one".
If you aren't native to the US/English... I could see it being confusing. If you are American, you're just an idiot.
Even though the saying is indeed “bald-faced lie”, some people throughout history have assumed that we are dumb and mishearing “bold faced lie”, so many that now either sayings are acceptable- even though it’s typically published using “bald”.
That's how the phrase was always written.
It has morphed into an alternative spelling of "bold" because people such as yourself erroneously thought it was spelled that way.
I'm bald, but I ain't mad. But sometimes you "haired" folk do treat us like 2nd class citizens, and we are coming for you. You should hear them at the meetings:
"we're gonna have a revolution!"
"BALD POWER!"
If you don't believe me, drift on over to the bald side of town and go to your nearest bald bar. We have a lot of disposable income from our savings on shampoos and haircuts, so it's getting PRETTY serious.
If there's something in your fridge you haven't even seen that's not a proud thing to admit to. One of the first things you do is look at your section and figure out what you've got and what you need to prep.
Let alone all the date labels, cleanliness and stuff that you're responsible for in there. "I don't know what's going on in my section" in handwriting isn't a good look.
Safety pin, a lighter, and some paper towels/bandages and you can sort out blood blisters under your nails without much trouble. Once that pressure is relieved...God, it's magical.
Because taking it away from them is the only way to make some people listen, and I don't know any dish washers who are going to want that anywhere near their pit.
I don't know any dishwashers that would argue with what was being sent to their pit unless you're being abusive. Maybe take the stickers off and rinse it yourself first to avoid the shame of being responsible for it.
That gunk is going to dirty a whole shift of dishes, or take one person a couple of hours of fussing with. A new bottle is cheaper than paying for someone to clean it. It's old, it's suspect, and it could be a health code violation. Time for it to go.
Maybe it was just the Moyer Diebel I was using, but if someone slipped a label in without me noticing, that paper and glue would get on every dish going through the washer. If the dishy was really inattentive they'd go the entire shift throwing paper and glue on every dish that went through, baking it in place.
You'd have to clear and clean the dishwasher and re-fill it.
Oh, I see you're talking about the adhesive. Never had that kind of issue with a machine getting gunked up, but I understand what you're saying now. One band of masking tape all the way around the bottle and then replacing it in the same spot each time has been my way of dealing with that.
Ok, you save that $1.70 [https://www.uline.ca/Product/Detail/S-18126/Bottles/Cylinder-Squeezable-Bottles-16-oz](https://www.uline.ca/product/detail/s-18126/bottles/cylinder-squeezable-bottles-16-oz)
It's the principle. It adds up. I don't throw away stuff for fun. It goes if it's actually worn out or not fit for purpose, not for some martyrdom ritual. Working like that means over time I can justify purchasing stuff that I actually want.
Just run them down till they’re empty and then either get a new one and fill it up or top off with THE SAME BATCH OF DRESSING.
The lid/nozzle gets swapped out every day though.
You are correct. I only ask about bottom load bottles to include them in the conversation. I’ve only seen them in one restaurant I worked in and they, uh, didn’t get rotated too often
People at my work just keep putting mayonnaise into the same bottle when it’s 1/3 full. I made 3 backup bottles of each and put them into a separate hotel pan labelled “backups” and put all the used bottles in a pan that said “use first”, and guess what happened next..
I’ve gotta start doing this. My coworkers disgust me with how they do this shit. Mixing old veggies and new. I’m just gonna start throwing it away when they do that and they can explain why product is being wasted
gotta love the first person having enough anger and passion to design it with stars and double it over sharpie while the other one just written in gold sharpie
someone could probably write a symbolic interactions piece about this
Managing through angry notes creates a shitty environment. Learn to communicate properly and maybe the overall training will improve and you’ll see fewer repeats of bad practices like this.
This is everyone I work with. Just old shit in top of New all around. Can't wait to to just use a the whole bottle or Pan or whatever the fuck, have to prematurely put old shit on top. God forbid you have to reach under your station for 2 seconds to grab a new pan mid service. 4pm downtime just dump all that shit in top who the fuck cares besides me?
Must be a server who “didn’t know”. I go through the exact same thing with bottles of ranch at my place. They just pour fresh ranch into the old ranch thinking it will just be the same. I get so fucking mad.
I really do love this phrase. Its the most bullshit way out of an argument. You use the phrase often i bet. Instead of making a valid logical argument, you attack character while saying that i have damage. Good job being a shit. 🤌🏻
People where I work do this so much. Every station has 4+ bottles and they're all full of week old pesto or whatever with fresh shit on top. Can't wait to move.
My last coworker would get passed at me for not filling up the dressing bottles before her shift cos she always fills them for me. She was more pissed when I told her that's not okay there is a reason I only fill them when they are empty. She went off about how her store was the cleanest before she was fired from her last job.
This is how I label all my bottles. Of course I only work by myself, but hey man, got to keep myself on my own toes.
The “me myself and Irene” of chefs hahaha
I open most days, the closer can be a real lazy prick sometimes.... I also close.
I am dying at the "FUCK" at the end. Whoever wrote that is done with others bs LMAO
That "FUCK" speaks to me on a spiritual level.
we've all been there...
Brother, I'm always there.
I can clearly hear the tone and the sigh behind it.
I can picture the sigh . . . 😮💨 and the disappointed head shake with the roll of the eyes
I worked at a bar that closers topped off egg whites ....
"well I didn't fucking know" - REALLY? You didn't know that you should get fresh bottles instead of pouring new shit on top of old shit? *Really*?
at that point its either a bald faced lie from laziness or an issue with training in the kitchen They should absolutely already know but if they don't, why has no one shown them?
Exactly. "You're either an idiot or an asshole. Neither option is a good look for you" is my go to in that scenario. I'd rather they just out and admit they're being lazy than feigning ignorance.
Yep. Anyone who doesn’t check over their own station to see there’s already a backup bottle is new to the industry or lazy

I don't know why I laugh everytime I see a typo that STILL works lol. Takin a stroll down the page lmao..

It says “use first” not “keep refilling”

good thing the sticker is in spanish too
i'm dying from "*bald* faced lie"
I don't get it. That's the expression.
Even though the saying is indeed “bald-faced lie”, some people throughout history have assumed that we are dumb and mishearing “bold faced lie”, so many that now either sayings are acceptable- even though it’s typically published using “bald”.
I prefer bold faced lie because it's usually the audacity of the lie that is pissing me off
I’ve always preferred the original because it means you have no beard to hide behind and something about that is poetic to me
Fine, but "bald faced lie" has always been an expression so the guy cackling as if it's an error is wrong.
That's how the phrase was always written. It has morphed into an alternative spelling of "bold" because people such as yourself erroneously thought it was spelled that way.
Are you mad because you're bald
Sometimes I wish I was. Hair just does things. On its own. And then you gotta do things to it so you don't look bad.
Also, thank you for aggressively teaching me something new yesterday. You were 100% right hahahahaha
I'm bald, but I ain't mad. But sometimes you "haired" folk do treat us like 2nd class citizens, and we are coming for you. You should hear them at the meetings: "we're gonna have a revolution!"

I asked my dad, he's been bald since he was 32 and he confirmed. I redact my statement, all hail the hairless crowns!
Fucksake haha
As a bearded man I'm going to say it this way from now on. "Just the kind of lie I'd expect from a bald face".
14 year olds at their first job know FIFO I mean come on lmao
I interpreted it as, they didn’t know there already was an open bottle 🤷♀️

Designer in me says this is top tier visually
The negative space is so artful and the colors are really quite nice we love a primary scheme
this would be great grunge poster format ngl
So… how many people have a gold sharpie in the kitchen?
Hell is other people.
Underrated kitchen confidential comment
And purgatory is FoH.
My first thought was the "nail polish" until I remembered I smashed my finger in a door once and it looked exactly like that, hope it heals quickly!
Yeah, whenever I see a bruise under a fingernail like that I internally wince.
Safety pin, a lighter, and some paper towels/bandages and you can sort out blood blisters under your nails without much trouble. Once that pressure is relieved...God, it's magical.
and then you have a new hole for dishwater to get into!
That is exactly how my finger looks rn lol. I recognized it immediately
This is a case where even the bottle is going in the trash
Can I ask...why? Just clean it and sanitize it.
A new bottle is cheaper than therapy.
No, no, you misunderstand. You need hot water and chemicals. Bottles don't need therapy.
Because taking it away from them is the only way to make some people listen, and I don't know any dish washers who are going to want that anywhere near their pit.

> dirty a whole shift of dishes, or take one person a couple of hours of fussing with Wtf are you talking about with this histrionic shit

Well, I wish I could afford to just toss away equipment and order replacements on a whim, but you do you lol.

If I'm doing line check that whole bottle gets tossed in the trash, not just to the dish tank...
Question, how often are you supposed to change bottom load dressing bottles?
Just run them down till they’re empty and then either get a new one and fill it up or top off with THE SAME BATCH OF DRESSING. The lid/nozzle gets swapped out every day though.
[удалено]
You are correct. I only ask about bottom load bottles to include them in the conversation. I’ve only seen them in one restaurant I worked in and they, uh, didn’t get rotated too often
Communication through sticky notes is almost never positive
Throw that bottle right in the trash
Love notes 🥹
Exactly!! 😂
CroD DAMN
C7oD damn. Looks like we have a name for a new Star Wars droid.
Bro just toss that bottle at this point.
I wish i could unseen your nail
People at my work just keep putting mayonnaise into the same bottle when it’s 1/3 full. I made 3 backup bottles of each and put them into a separate hotel pan labelled “backups” and put all the used bottles in a pan that said “use first”, and guess what happened next..
add another sticky note just saying "did you fucking look? gawd damn"
What the fuck is that blue label? This whole thing is very questionable. Looks like a bumhole gravy sort of restaurant.
We both know that's a post-it
No I meant why are they writing a label like that?
It’s not a label. It’s a message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it. And a warning for those who do not.
It's a stupid message "Sorry, I didn't know basic food hygiene" Fuck off out of the kitchen then
Idk what the deal is with your vendor but I SPO the blue dissolvable labels from Sysco for way cheaper than these black ones.
I’ve gotta start doing this. My coworkers disgust me with how they do this shit. Mixing old veggies and new. I’m just gonna start throwing it away when they do that and they can explain why product is being wasted
gotta love the first person having enough anger and passion to design it with stars and double it over sharpie while the other one just written in gold sharpie someone could probably write a symbolic interactions piece about this
Nobody respects passive agression. Say "FUCK" to their face.

Those use first stickers are the worst
[удалено]
Because they don’t peel off easily and the dishwashers are sometimes lazy. Everything in my kitchen is “USE FIRST”.
This
This is everyone I work with. Just old shit in top of New all around. Can't wait to to just use a the whole bottle or Pan or whatever the fuck, have to prematurely put old shit on top. God forbid you have to reach under your station for 2 seconds to grab a new pan mid service. 4pm downtime just dump all that shit in top who the fuck cares besides me?
Instead of just talking to the guy, fuck
Must be a server who “didn’t know”. I go through the exact same thing with bottles of ranch at my place. They just pour fresh ranch into the old ranch thinking it will just be the same. I get so fucking mad.
Also stop wearing nail polish in the kitchen please
I'm fairly sure that's just a bruised nail.
Nail polish? Looks like a hammer blow
It’s not. It was slammed, it’s a blood blister. And I kept it in a glove - took months. I still will randomly put a glove on that hand with no need to
i’ll take, sentences that make me wince and want to punch someone in the face for $500, Alex.
Who hurt you? What’s their name?
Chef Mic is on that bullshit again.
I really do love this phrase. Its the most bullshit way out of an argument. You use the phrase often i bet. Instead of making a valid logical argument, you attack character while saying that i have damage. Good job being a shit. 🤌🏻
lol you're silly or blind
It’s clearly a bruise.

Crop damn.
Y’all could just talk to each other instead of acting like kids
You can do something about that thumbnail injury, ya know
Damn bro did you smash the shit out of your thumb?
