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.
