Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Why not just get an instant pot? Basically a rice cooker, slow cooker, pressure cooker, steamer and who knows what else in one. Probably on sale still too

Really bright engrams are moot and you never need to spend any $ in the game, I really don't understand why this crackpot and others are up in arms over something entirely *** pointless.

All I got for Christmas was fired.

Damn... Didnt you just get that job?

I did, back in October.

did you at least get a receipt so you couldn't return it and get something different?

If I could return it, I'd exchange it for a raise.

I work at the salad bar in a steakhouse.

Everything on that salad bar has tongs to keep the masses from infecting the food with their hands and any germs/bacteria they may be carrying. Plenty of people like to touch the buns with their hands after coughing, sneezing, etc. into their hands.

It's my job to keep things stocked, sanitized, and to serve the guests who come through, and make sure the guests aren't getting sick from cross contamination. So naturally, I have to ask the guests that are touching the buns with their hands, as some like to touch every bun in the little bin "looking for the best bun".

My boss overheard me asking the customers to use the tongs provided for the buns, and asked to speak with me in the kitchen. He waves me over to the server area on the line, and in front of everyone, humiliates me. Talking down to me, saying that asking customers not to contaminate the food by asking them to use the tongs, is talking down to them, and that he has to then deal with it online. His suggestion was not to say anything about it anymore to the customers. And to let them touch and grab for the buns with their hands, and to throw away the surrounding buns if need be. (which you can't always do, because of how busy it is, and it's not cost effective, waste of product and labor, etc.) I want to call him out on this, but I think better of it, nod my head, and go back to salad bar.

A bit later on he comes to shake my hand, say Merry Christmas, and when he does, I pull in close and politely, and privately, ask him that the next time he has an issue with something, to talk to me privately, instead of humiliating me in front of the rest of the kitchen staff and other managers. You know, dealing with the issue professionally, in a respectful and dignified manner. This is what pisses him off, where he said "Don't tell the boss what to do", and I *HAD* to say it: "On this issue I will."

Oh ***, he really didn't like that. He doubles around, tells me to get off the salad line, and to get the *** out of his restaurant. One of the last things I hear that night before I leave is that he'll cover all of my shifts if he has to.

Put in a complaint with whatever agency does your inspections. Tell him the manager allows guests to grab food with their hands rather than the tongs provided, put stuff up in reviews on Google and Yelp and stuff.

Also, what kinda of *** has to use their hands for the best but? It's a *** bun, if it has give and the outer crust doesn't crunch when you grab it, you're all good.

/scoffs loudly @ instant pot FEH!

instant pot...I've never heard anything so absurd...Clearlyamule...you filthy son of a ***... HOW DARE YOU!? You are obviously a heretic and a non believer with no understanding of the wonders of Zojirushi, the Rice God.

It doesn't just cook rice you heathen, IT COOKS RICE PERFECTLY EVERY STINKING TIME. You put rice and water in, push two buttons and wait, then you hear a merry tune and the most magically perfect rice you ever tasted comes out... a choir of angels sing when you open the lid as heavenly wisps of steam fill your waiting nostrils with joy. You don't understand!

Every other method of preparing rice is inferior and therefore inherently wrong.

You should feel bad.

I....don't see any perfectly cooked rice in that video.

Look, I'm so dumb that it's practically a vatican sanctioned christmas miracle that I can walk around and chew gum at the same time.... and even I can make perfect rice in a Zojirushi.

I CERTIFIED IT. ok... IT'S IDIOT PROOF

Pssshh! That's not even how you combine things! .....rookie

MANLY COMBINING!!!
OR GTFO!!!

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!?!?!

FFXIAH is hiring mod position the pay sucks but you get an inflated ego !

Only time in my life I was fired I was a teenager working at at video store...and they wanted me to come in during the Super Bowl. My team was playing and I wanted to watch the Super Bowl. So I just didn't show up...was worth it. We won the game and I got to find a better job.

I would go into the Government of Ontario/Canada building if they weren't closed until after New Year's. And I'll be letting my Employment Agent know what happened.

Of course these dingbats at the steakhouse also tried teaching their dishwashers that scrubbing their pans, using surface sanitizer, and then rinsing off quickly in hot water was an OK method for cleaning them, instead of scrubbing and putting them through the dishwasher like you're supposed to.
