Adventures of a Pantry Cook: Restaurant cook memes

Pantry is technically a kitchen position, but it doesn't really cook anything aside from bread. That's where the line cooks come in.

It's always hot on the line.
They're always waiting for something. More sauce. More noodles. More plates. More orders.
There's a bit of hostility between cooks and servers. Sometimes either side gets something wrong. Deal with it! In the pantry position, I get both sides of complaints from both parties. I try my best to ease tensions (since I have to deal with both), and pantry gives me the unique opportunity to improve morale for both sides.
They don't like working the pantry position. It gets crowded up front and servers will often do their own thing while getting in the way. I'm used to it. I see relief on the line cooks' faces when I come on. Glad to help!
They yell the loudest. "FOOD RUNNERS!"
They are probably the most sanitary workers in existence... hopefully.
They have great memories... remember the time?... Nah. Recipes.
They have short fuses. Understandable since most of the restaurant relies on them.
They keep their heads on when it's busy. Most of the time. Tempers flare up especially when food get backed up.

It takes a special kind of person to be a line cook. You need a good memory, good sense of priorities, consistent work flow, and a lot of patience. They also rely on a lot of people to keep things going like dishes, ingredients, clarity of orders, and prepped food. This is where everything starts. Line cooks rock!
