Busy weekend and an orchestra concert

 Sometimes the restaurant gets so busy, we get stressed out and nearly run out of everything. Here are a couple posts from Facebook this past weekend, and I did have Sunday night off where I enjoyed an orchestra concert where one of my coworkers played violin.

Friday night:

This is the parking lot at [work] and yes, those are two buses. This was one of our reservations that came early tonight. 60 top. I commandeered another cart to fill with salads. I wasn't expecting a big top soon after I clocked on but this is the restaurant business! Things went smoothly on my end and a lot of waiting for them to leave so we could resume business.

It was steady afterwards for a couple of hours and then a delayed dinner rush, current trend still, which had everyone busy until 9:00. I closed pantry, did a trash run, then helped out dish until my 6 hours was up.

Whew!

Saturday night:

...I clocked in early tonight so I could tackle a 50 top reservation, a wedding banquet where they actually got married at [the restaurant]. Married. At. [the restaurant]. Well... I guess it's better than married at the drive thru at McDonald's. At the same time the staff was busy with catering.

Tonight was busier than last night! People just kept coming in until 8:30. Between 7-8 was probably the longest hour I have experienced in a long time! So busy we came close to running out of a lot of things many times during the night. I lost count on how many times I filled the croutons.

I steered away a 3 top 10 minutes before closing time as I walked out the door...
Now I have 3 days off. Yay!

 

On Sunday night, I had the pleasure of experiencing an orchestra concert where a coworker was performing. They played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 and Bruckner's 7th Symphony.

Me on the left, Rolly on the right

 Rolly is one of the nicest guys I've met at work, and whenever we pass each other we joke around. He's currently the kitchen's 'High Five' king.

Corvallis Oregon State Symphony during intermission

There was very little interaction with coworkers due to business, aside from the concert which was a nice break. When busy weekends hit like this, you definitely need to stay on top of everything! Many times the back zone would fill with servers and managers, which could make or break a person. I'm grateful I'm not claustrophobic or haphephobic (fear of being touched).

This is a short blog post since I can't think of anything else 😝

But first is a mugshot of some of our crew! This was from our holiday party (from left to right: Savanna, that weird pantry guy, and Jessica). They're doing their best to contain me. Thank you for the picture, Natalie!

I mis-quoted Savanananananana (sounds like a motorcycle starting up) last night. It's "The LB in the BZ" as in 'Little buddy in the back zone'. Now that we're clear on that she's handing out nicknames but some started their own!
When I walked in I was called "Scottzilla", by Josh.
"Kota"calls me "Scotty" (I think 'Coda' since I'm a musician)
Sav calls me "LB"
Kristen said I was acting broken today. Yep I was. After a night like tonight it's easy to be broke.

I was talking with Cesar about insanity... We're thinking it's a loop. We're crazy then we add more craziness until it loops into sanity. Mobius Strip.
We keep each other entertained

This is a fairly good representation of my brain too

I decided to give my coworkers Italian mobster nicknames...
Scott=Scottini
Marvin=Marvoni
Jesse=Jesterno
Micah=Micahgio
Adam=Adamo (really is an Italian name btw)
Savanna=Savandria
Kristen=Kristendra
Kayla=Kaylanetta
Mary Rose=Marietta Rosello
Alex=Alexandra
Dakota=Dakotella (sounds like a yogurt brand... market it!)
Devin=Devinemo
Josh=Joshinio
Chris=Christofo
Emily=Emilia
Nikki=Nikkintia

It was a circus, thus this linked youtube vid :D It felt like I worked very hard with very little to show for it. Anything I stocked went bye-bye soon afterwards and servers were all over the place making mobility a challenge. I'm sure other kitchen staff doesn't envy my position... it gets cozy up there!

January 19 ·

What does a sassy redhead, a teasing Ukrainian (if I remember right), a new party balloon lady, a lady who's always asked "North or South?", a smart-ass guy (you know who you are!), a studly guy (not on my friends list), a jolly guy, a Caribbean guy, and more people, salads, bread, ice cream, and a steady stream of tickets have in common?

I don't know but I work with them. It was a fairly steady night at work with a bunch of small tops.

I often write in run-on sentences...

I was pretty busy with the spag position since I had a lot to do so I could keep the line cooks happy but it was kind of hard to tell if they were happy or not because I'm pretty much alone in the back of the kitchen portioning and cooking noodles while the kitchen manager was running around making sure everything was running smooth but things tend to get slippery in the kitchen so you got to be careful or you could end up with stitches like I did which is very inconvenient but tonight I didn't slip so I could keep working which can be lonely in the spag position except I had some very lovely visitors that brightened up my night and made me feel young again and I needed that boost to finish my shift that included a hug which I like very much and would I would highly recommend hugs if they don't cause too much anxiety but most of my coworkers are pretty awesome and I bought a bluetooth speaker so I could listen to some tunes which kept me boppin' and rollin' throughout the night except I don't roll very well.

Summary: Slow night. I kept busy. Music. Great coworkers. Hugs. Did I mention I like hugs?

I don't know how much I slept last night. It seems like I was awake all night but I know I slept a few times. On top of that I'm getting over a cold! So my Friday night at work was a bit of a wrestling match between me & tiredness. I was distracted by my coworkers too. I spent a lot of time talking and hanging out when I'm usually busy with the job. It was fairly busy but there was plenty of time for some socialization.

Socialization? ERMERGERD! (yeah I know I'm using an antiquated meme/joke but... bite me) Maybe I'm underestimating my social skills. Maybe not. Maybe I don't care about my awkwardness when I'm tired. Maybe tiredness didn't factor in. A lifetime of habits of underestimating myself is a hard habit to break! Does it matter if I underestimate myself? I think it keeps things real and humble. I'll still perform the same however I may perform. Maybe. It's all relative. I'm aware of my strengths and weaknesses. Well... maybe I have strengths and weaknesses that are hiding in plain sight. For that I'll have to rely on other people's perspectives. But the nature of perspective is in the interpretation of information. Do I make up my own mind or rely on the views of another? Both? Ramble on! Improvise! Just enjoy it.

If you can untangle that last paragraph then I'll congratulate you.

...the crew contends with another 30+ reservation, and then some, around 8:00. It went smoother tonight although everyone's brain seems to have been hijacked for some alien experimentation. Hopefully we'll get them back. We'd often go somewhere to do something but forget what we were doing including yours truly (yours truly? What does that really mean?). A lot of us were tired too. Me? Because of a hamster in my head with ADHD and too much sugar.

I really want to record some of the sounds my coworkers make and make a mix tape. "UGH!" "GROWL!" "AUGH!" "*censored expletives*". There's been a lot of singing too with strange made up lyrics and all. I'm grateful someone wasn't singing Christmas music like last night... "GROAN!"

@ the ER. I slipped and caught my pinky on some metal. ...crew be careful walking around corners! Slip resistant shoes my ass! As I wait here bleeding... quick xray and stitching up. Will keep you updated

I ended up getting 8 stitches that night. The company manager was there too.

Lively ... crew tonight! It's good to see that every now and then. Not all the time though or you'll give me an aneurysm.

Custom Pantry Cook Memes... and why I made them

I uploaded these to Facebook but it makes better sense to post them here...

I used to put pun memes onto a coworker's FB wall. She said she's terrible with puns but she'll think of one before the year 2027. I didn't have to wait that long.

A coworker walks by drumming on his bread with a knife.

I say, "Bread isn't percussion!"

She says, "Drum roll!"

When you start running low on supplies, servers are all around you needing their order, and salad is flying everywhere:

 

The next one doesn't need an explanation... also I sympathize with how my cat feels during a bath.

 

Even though I work part time, the days I work vary from week to week.

 

I think we all could relate to this one... unless you're a full time worker with a fixed amount of work hours.

 

This happens often when dinner rush hits. It comes in waves and from what I understand it's because guests have to leave to make room for more business. Then servers have a chance to get orders from the new guests.

 

This is a little personal since I do feel like I'm taken for granted at times. There are other great employees who deserve more recognition than me who, sadly, do not get it.

 

Prepping ice cream for the dinner rush is a necessity but, when I need to stock pantry in order to keep it running, there's a better time to scoop ice cream! Not when things are falling apart.

Should I pull a unicorn out too?

This is the look on servers' faces when the kitchen yells, "Food Runners!"

 

Kitchen staff do not get tips. This is our face when we hear servers complain.

 

Servers are trained for pantry so sometimes they don't need someone working the pantry position... but for someone who's sole job is pantry, this is how it feels.

 

The bread timer is awfully annoying but sometimes servers, who are standing next to it when I'm busy, ignore it. 

 

You can't live without the other cooks so pantry seems like an afterthought. Labor is the biggest, and most confusing, dirty word of the restaurant. I get called off a lot and I get cut early.

 

Why are the servers out of bread? Oh yeah, you took some out of the oven without putting more back in... rule of thumb (provided by Billy): ALWAYS HAVE BREAD IN THE OVEN AT LEAST UNTIL 7:00!

 

I wish there was detention for those servers who only work their own order without helping with other orders...

 

You have no idea how many times I was bumped into, or I bumped into someone who was behind me. This was very much the case during Valentine's Day.

 

Instead of summing it up, I'll paste my Facebook status after my Valentine's Day shift:

Restaurant workers need a badge that says, "I survived Valentine's Day!" I don't how many strings of 2xCreamy Pesto salads I made tonight. Everything was going fine until everything ran out at once! Then it was a scramble to get everything back into working order. I had to clock out with unfinished business since I hit my 6 hour limit. The restaurant was still busy after 9:00 which is our closing time.

 I congratulated a coworker for surviving.

Valentine's Day

"No mistakes in the tango, not like life!"

Ahh... "Por Una Cabeza" by Carlos Gardel. No other tango music is as popular in cinema! No other person could present that like Al Pacino. So saucy! 

Wait... what does this have to do with a restaurant? We're one day away from Valentine's Day! We're working on Valentine's Day! Working on V-Day doesn't mean we can't get in the mood. Guests are going to bring their significant other to the restaurant. Dating coworkers are going to be working with each other. Some of my coworkers are married and leaving their S.O. behind. I'm single and I have very little reason to celebrate, but we can celebrate Valentine's for other people! We can celebrate for the single people! This shouldn't be just for couples. It should be for all of us! Valentine's Day could be for the hopeful singles too!

I'm taking applications!

Valentine's Day normally comes and goes without much thought, but I realize there's more to the world than just me. There are many hopeful singles I work with, and many who are taken, who do consider Valentine's Day as being a big day for them. How to make it special if you have a S.O., and how will an introverted pantry guy going to help? I'll tell ya!

• People love being treated like they're special. How can that happen in a crowded restaurant? It could be distracting so be close, make eye contact, have some physical touch... appropriate physical touch. Some people are PDA-phobic (public displays of affection), I.E. single & jealous onlookers. It's Valentine's Day. We should allow for some. Let's not have make-out sessions in the booth though.

• Gifts. We have flowers, candies, and corporate interests to uphold, and a gift can show you thought of them. We have busy lives, stressful studies, and social drama, so that gesture will mean a lot especially if it's a handcrafted gift.
• Present your significant other like you're showing them off. Flatter them! Show the world that they are the most special guest in your life. If you embarrass them, it's a good sign. Here are some benefits of embarrassment.
•  Romantic music. Dance to a tango!* Part of the flirting game is copy another person's movement, but I think synchronized movement would be more potent! This will get the person out of their head and into the moment. They have to pay attention to the here and now! You are front and center. You're everything. 

*You'll have to wait until after the restaurant though. This is a blog about life at a restaurant after all!

•  You're not done with flirting, no matter how long you've been in a relationship! There is no, "Okay, the flirting part is done since I won them over!" It's a commitment! The more successful couples flirt with each other all the time. Need a refresher? Here you go! Flirting tips...
•  You should know some details about your S.O. that nobody else knows. Remind that person that you pay attention! Make a list and remind yourself why these details are important!
• This is not a day to play therapist. This is a time to enjoy each others' company!
• Seduction. Nobody, ever, ever, ever, is done with seduction. You have no choice! Single or taken, it's a necessity. You don't have to be Casanova. You don't have to be that attractive. It's all about how you make a person feel! The best way is through proximity and touch. The warmth of your bodies, the smoothness of your skin, your fragrance, the feel of another's hand as they firmly hold you in your arms... whew! *ahem* Just be a little more conspicuous if you're working, but sometimes it isn't conspicuous. Good thing there's a walk-in freezer.

What about us single people? Some of the above tips would help too, but I'll add a few things:

• Learn! Pay attention. There are signs someone is flirting with you, but sometimes that flirting means they like you, or they're a playful flirt. Do they stand close to you despite having plenty of room to stand elsewhere? Do they tease you? Do they copy you? Do they spend more time around you than anyone else?
•  You will be tested. Everyone tests everyone especially at a restaurant. It could be for the job, it could be for friendship, or it could be for romance. Most of the time the testing is subconscious. Would you buy shoes without trying them on first? I've had a few interesting tests at this job, like being asked to do menial jobs they could've easily done for themselves. Did I pass? Probably not. I'm a pushover. Some people test your comfort zone too. How does it feel to be close to this person?
• If you're afraid of rejection, chances are the other person is just as afraid. This is why I'm single most of the time. I'm still learning but the fear is still too much.
• Give them attention. Call them by name. It's great to be recognized! People will appreciate it.
• Any self image issues you have does not matter. All that matters is how you make someone feel! I mentioned this several times in this blog because it is the single most important thing I've learned. My head was buried in the sand to realize this. If you think you're too ugly, too skinny/fat, too dumb, too awkward, or too messed up, then you have to let ALL OF THAT GO! Remember, even the most physically beautiful person in the world could be a total douchebag. You can't feel good with that type of person. All of these tips I'm sharing will contribute to making someone feel WONDERFUL! Even awkward geeks like me have a chance.

Now matter which side of the spectrum you are on Valentine's Day, there's plenty of room for you! Scoot over...

Here's some music I wrote for Marc Camoletti's "Don't Dress for Dinner":
I present "A Friend, A Cook, and a Tango"
Happy Valentine's Day!

3 Days before V-Day

Valentine's Day is normally a day that just comes and goes for me since I'm single most of the time. Yet I get to cater to guests who will celebrate V-Day while I'm working. On the bright side, I'll be surrounded by gorgeous women at work as the pantry guy! Woot! This is not an occasion to rack up sexual harassment claims, since I value my job, so I tone down any interactions I may have. Although... some ladies haven't toned things down for me... *ahem* 'Nough said about that. Careful with that twerking though. Aimed twerking. Intentional butt bumps. I thought I said enough about that... But we don't have to behave while we're off the clock... Face turning red yet?

I work with a bunch of beautiful people of all sorts. Guys included, so says the straight guy. I find beauty in all sorts of people, some have a beautiful heart, some are physically attractive, some are shy and quiet, some are loud and extroverted, some are comfortable with their sexuality, but there's one commonality between most: self esteem of varying levels. A few people turned a 180 while I worked at this restaurant. One went from an anxious jumble of nerves to a confident and outgoing lady, one went from buried into her work into a strong woman, one went from courtesy smiles into one of the most beautiful smiles I've seen. There are some people (guys included) I hardly interact with, but when I start talking to them, they surprise me with their responses which makes me want to interact with them more! All people are beautiful when they're given a chance. I usually give guys a hard time and they return the favor. I may have changed the most. I'm more confident doing my job, I no longer panic during a rush, and I'm more open to helping people out when they need it.

All of these beautiful people have taught me some valuable lessons in life. These self-esteem issues I had do not matter to them. It's how I make them feel! That's all that matters. In return, they're more relaxed, they smile more, and they're appreciative, and they can get more flirty. *straightens back, chin up, strut around*

This is me with beautiful women around...

What I would like to see more is my coworkers outside of work. They don't have to worry about guests, getting orders together, dealing with a dinner rush, and not worrying about having a manager scrutinize their every move. I've seen my coworkers on social media. I'm envious!

Coworker hugs... how can you NOT love this?

The above picture was something I took tonight. I love these interactions! This was their second hug because I didn't have my phone out for the first. Aren't they gorgeous? I love my job. Well... the job could be better but I love my coworkers!

Maybe I'll make a special Valentine's Day post since we do have a couple of coworkers who are dating each other... if I don't make such a post then: Happy Valentine's Day!

Typical Night in Pantry

 I normally come early so I can have my nicotine, get dressed (no I'm not naked beforehand!), wash hands, then clock on to participate in the insanity. Here's my typical night:

• I walk into the restaurant.

Obviously, unless it was an outdoor restaurant. Outdoor restaurant in the Willamette Valley? Get real.

• I say ,"Hi" to coworkers.

They'll normally say, "Hi" back. We're not stuck up! I make sure I get to know everyone's name. They really appreciate it when they're recognized. I was recently thanked for talking to someone who was rarely talked to. My dad has shown me that it only takes one person to make another person's day. Could you be that person?

• I check reservations.

 It's really nice to know what the night is going to bring so we can prepare for it.

• I hang out near the food warmer when it's cold.

I'm half Eskimo but the other half is white. I'm blame my white half for being cold.

• Sometimes someone would want me to clock on early.

It depends on how busy it is, but I can wait if it's not. Someone told me my middle name should be patience. I already go by my middle name, which is Scott. My first name is Aaron. How awkward is Aaron Scott Patience Kingston? My initials wouldn't be as cool... ASPK instead of ASK. Go ahead, ASK me for my initials.

• I clock on.

I need to get paid.

• I check how much I need to stock.

Sometimes pantry is stocked when I clock on. Sometimes it's a total disaster. What I like about the pantry position is that I can normally get it caught up within an hour, depending on how busy it is.

• I stock.

A running pantry is a stocked pantry. That's what my momma always says. No, she never said that.

• I scoop ice cream.

I'm always complimented on my ice cream scoops. I've seen better.

• I make salads and bake bread.

Better than baking salads and making bread.

• I stock.

 A running pantry is a stocked pantry. Déjà Vu. Welcome to the Matrix.

• I take a break... or two... or three. Rarely take them consecutively.

That rhymed.

• I make it through dinner rush

Sometimes the rush is delayed, which is bad for the closers.

• I stock 

Déjà Vu. Featuring Van Hagar:

As I said before, pantry is a kitchen position that's surrounded by servers. It gets busy up front and it's really hard to get around sometimes. The managers will often get into discussions right in the middle of the aisle. If you're haphephobic (fear of being touched), or claustrophobic, then you're going to have a long night!

 Once things die down, then we can focus on closing the pantry station. Sometimes I get sent home early, sometimes I don't. I'd like to get as much done before I leave though. It also depends on how we're staffed too. Maybe Dish will need some help so they can get out. Sometimes I'll do a trash and recycling run. That can get messy.

And now is the time everyone loves at a restaurant...

"It's Closing Time!"

Interpersonal relations at a restaurant

If you work at a restaurant you tend to overhear many things. A lot of people will hum, whistle, grunt, groan, and complain about the guests. I'm sure people want to hear about the gossip though. I don't pay attention to that.

I know I mentioned on my Facebook page that I wouldn't mention anything I overhear... but here we go.

Where to start? I have sensitive hearing that's great for critical listening, which is useful for audio engineering. Well... I think the kitchen staff expects someone to end up with someone else. I don't know who they refer to. I sometimes hear people talking about me though.
"Doesn't he ever stop working?"
"He watches out for us."
When it got really busy, at one point one of the managers turned to another and said, "If it was anyone else..." then shook his head. I took that to mean I didn't fold under pressure.
That's the positive side for me.

It's been a while since I heard negative talk. Before I got a handle on anxiety (job performance, workflow, being overwhelmed) I would shake more than usual (familial tremors runs in my family). At that moment I'd hear something like, "Is there something wrong with him?" I'm sure there's more gossip behind my back, I'm not immune to it. Gossip is acceptable in society, but I vowed not to buy anything society sells anymore. Shit happens and it's part of life. I overhear gossip involving other people too.

The people I work with have some really tight friendships. Often they will go out together, drink, and sometimes they'll work with hangovers. It's been about 20 years since I had any alcohol so I'm not invited to any reindeer games. Anyway, sometimes they'll grab a friend and go somewhere private to discuss something. There was a big event to help out one of our managers around the time some private conversations were had. Many people I work with are a very caring crew.

Sometimes my coworkers will come to check up on me, when I'm working one of the lonelier positions at the restaurant (pantry is far from being lonely! but one position is really isolated from everyone else). This is the position where you bring your own music, and portion away necessary ingredients for the line cooks. I heard, one time, of one person telling everyone else what I said! I had to laugh because I assume it was something I wasn't supposed to overhear. It might be a little disturbing to know I hear better than a lot of people.

I'm not part of any social circle at the restaurant, but there are a few people I hold dear. These are the people who make absolutely sure they stay on my good side (very few people on my bad side but I don't make a big deal out of it... you're not immune to my joking and friendliness... could I be two-faced? Probably but this is a work environment and morale needs to stay up!) These are my work friends who make the job enjoyable! They take the time to make sure they know they appreciate me, and in return they have my gratitude.

Even though I'm currently single, dating a coworker gets a bad reputation in society. Who better to date than someone you know? How they handle stress? You can't really get that from a dating app. Coworkers will flirt. People will talk sex (the things I overhear could make your toes curl!) Dating coworkers will kiss. It's part of life.

I like teasing and joking around with people. One of my dearest coworkers was C.O. or D.C.O. (person who assigns jobs to other people... basically) one night and I asked, "Should you get a whip?" She replied, "I already have one!" 🙉I joked about that another night while the kitchen manager walked by but he heard enough... The things you walk in on!

Coworker walks by tapping a knife against a loaf of bread... Me, "Bread isn't percussion!" Another coworker walks by, "Drum roll!"

Well... this post was a little more personal than I intended. So?

Dishwasher memes & tips

If you work as a cook at a restaurant, you might have started as a dishwasher (DW). We lovingly call it the "Dish Pit". The dish area is a black hole for unorganized madness. Dishwashers are the masters of organization, when done right! Everyone else... well... they test the DW's patience.

It's intimidating to find haphazardly organized dishes all over the place in the dish pit. Sometimes the DW's will leave those messes alone until someone else, who's brave enough, comes along and organizes it for him/her!
Who wants to deal with something like this?:

When it's busy and we're short staffed, things can get really ugly. I often find the dish pit like this. Not fun!

I'm a very patient person and working the dish pit really tests my anger management skills. I get really angry when things get like this, so that's when I start being more aggressive and tackle the task like a mean, old grump. I don't lash out on anyone so I get really quiet and ignore people. I tend to take things out on inanimate objects.

Sometimes the DW's let things build up, so someone else in the kitchen has to pick up the slack. I get it. It's tiring since you're going ALL THE TIME. There's no shortage of dirty dishes... but EVERYONE RELIES ON THE DISHWASHER! EVERYONE! So...

• Aside from actually cleaning the dishes, the DW's main duty is to make sure EVERYONE IS STOCKED! Yeah, you may have stacks of clean dishes in the pit but they're not doing anyone any good to leave them there. 
• Organize and prioritize. It's easier to keep the same type of dishes together, so unloading the dishwashing machine is faster and easier.
• While the machine is going, don't just stand there! There are other dishes to be manually scrubbed.
• Clean the area as you go. You're the last person, aside from management, who's left in the restaurant. Cleaning now means less cleaning later! This means you could possibly get out earlier.

I probably have more tips but that's a start.

The DW position is the least respected BUT the most appreciated position in the restaurant. Those employees who can keep up with the demand gets the most recognition *tips hat to those DWs with that unenviable task*...
...but don't forget the pantry guy, huh? I mean I put up with servers all the time, the kitchen staff actively avoids being in the servers' path, while I keep things running up front? HUH? Oops, I digress... Don't mind the hostility... HUH?!?!? I'm kidding. Maybe... 😏

I have a few more memes to share with you:

We wear our work

Getting wet around a dishwasher? OMG!

It's a mental exercise too.

This needs no caption...

It's hard to find memes that are not sexist about dishwashers! Anyway... Cheers!
