Feel free to add...


So ive been working in food businesses for about 5 years now and I thought I would share some advice with you guys. Ive worked in movie theaters, country club kitchens, pizza places and now a deli. Ive pretty much seen it all. Take my advice. I personally would never spit in someones food but when I worked in a pizza place and the country clubs... lets just say some of my co workers werent so nice lol

Deli rule #1: Know what you f**king want before you waste my time.

I hate when people come in or call up and have no idea what they want. I almost always have other customers to help Then I give them a ton of choices and they end up with the first thing I suggested.

Deli rule #2: Never f**k with the guy who makes your food.

This should be obvious. Some people just dont understand.

Deli rule #3: Dont be annoying.

If youre going to nag me 5 times about how thin you want your meat, im going to f**k it up on purpose. You dont want it well done? You dont need to tell me another 3 times after youve said it once. I heard you. Another thing is people who are in a rush come in and will ask, "is it ready?" and proceed to tell me how much of a hurry theyre in. If youre that busy, why the f**k are you here?

Deli rule #4: Dont complain about the price you cheap piece of s**t. If it was cheaper yesterday... well then I made a mistake yesterday. Dont think im going to do it again.

Deli rule #5: Dont brag about how much of a racist you are.

If youre going to make a racist joke thats one thing. Bitching to me about how your property value has dropped because different ethnicities now live next store is bullshit. Not all black/spanish people are gang members. Take that s**t somewhere else. There are people that come from other countries in search of a better life. Dont think because you were a lucky sperm that youre better than them.

Deli rule #6: If I have to bring you your food, make sure you tip me. Anything under a dollar is not a tip you cheap f**k. If I know youre not going to tip, im going to make sure its cold.

I hate when I have to drive/walk to people that dont tip. Ironically most of the doctors wont tip but when I go to the projects theyll slip me a $5.

Deli rule #7: Never complain... then send it back. What are you a f**king retard?

Have you never seen waiting?

Deli rule #8: The deli is not a restaurant or a hang out. Get your s**t and get the f**k out.

There are no tables and seats at my job but theres always a jackass who will start eating at the counter or who will want to sit in the back and get in the way.

Deli rule #9: Nobody gives a f**k about your political view. You have no idea what youre talking about. Go b***h about taxes or w.e somewhere else.

I wish I have a dollar every time someone bitched about someone and had no idea what theyre talking about. People are dumb.

Deli rule #10: When I ask you how you are, dont tell me your order. I asked how you are not what do you want you impatient f**k.

example: "Hey how you doin?" "bacon egg and cheese on a roll" "what? Bacon egg and cheese is how your doing?" "..what?" "thats what I said"

Deli rule #11: Delivery boy ALWAYS wins.

Seriously... try me. If you dont believe me look on youtube.

Deli rule #12: There is always one person in each food establishment who will do disgusting s**t to your food. Be prepared. It happens everywhere. More than 95 percent of the time youll never know.

Im not going to go into detail about what will happen. Just keep this in the back of your head when you order something.

Compelling illustration of why you don't want to work in food service or eat food prepared by this industry.

Moral of the story --- Only eat food you prepare at home!

Its just food service man, lighten up. I don't think your going to make a carer out of it, so just let the s**t roll off your back.

You seem a little high strung.

Only people from the northeast can understand. :P And I understood him perfectly. Then again, I would have smacked the s**t out of him for thinking who the f**k he is. Bad service and without a smile? NO TIP FO YOU! :lol:

He had a bad day at work so he has to take it out on CC. :P :lol:

I've worked in the food service industry before. Quit your complaining and man up. Do your job the way you're supposed to be doing it. All I'm seeing here is "rant rant rant, I'm not grateful for the opportunity to make some money in this shitty economy." Appreciate what you've got and learn some patience.

Holy crap Joey! That was beautiful.

OP: In the meantime, at least take a vacation. Your first post has been conjuring up all kinds of nasty images in my mind about what you and your buddies are doing to customers' food.

These actually started on facebook over the course of a week they got like 8327 responses so I thought I should share.

Where does it say im not doing my job the way im suppose to? This is to inform you guys the rules and on what really happens behind closed doors. If you want to call it a rant thats fine. If you dont like my rant... GTFO and dont post.

If you can't deal with my rant about your rant, GTFO :lol:

Tell me what your boss would say if you printed your first post out and handed it to him? Exactly. That's where it says you're not doing your job the way you're supposed to. There are so many people jobless right now who would love to have your job that seems to piss you off so much, and would be willing to do it to the best of their ability in order to keep it.
