    I did 18 hours straight at Waffle House back in 1998. It was Christmas Day and there was nobody to show up for work except myself who had been on the job for a month, and one waitress. We managed to make it work, even though we were completely slammed. I have so much respect for these people.

    I worked at Huddle House as a cook for a few months back when I was like 19 years old. I worked lunch and dinner (never breakfast, my manager knew i wasn't experienced enough for that insanity). It wasn't that bad of a job, i could easily handle about 5 different orders on the grill at once, but one calm evening, about 8pm. My older brother and my friend was up there chilling wit me and then a fleet of cars filled the parking lot up (12+ cars). It was a rush of family members dressed in black attire from a Funeral coming to eat. my brother and friend started laughing, while i was sweating bullets of anxiety knowing that it was about to be the death of me R.I.P. I was the only cook and the waitresses did not cook. I called my manager and told her the situation, she said "just do what you can, good luck". Every single set of eyes in the restaurant was on me (fuck). I handled most of the orders with ease, but when some waitresses write sloppy, ALL hell breaks loose throws you out of rythym quickly. So much noise, people gossiping, music in the ceiling, phone ringing off the hook, loud dishes clanking, custom food orders, waitresses saying they need this, they need that. Every sq. in. of the grille slap full of All kinds of food, 7 new tickets always appearing above your head, door bell ringing from MORE hungry fucking people coming in. There were people standing because ALL seats in the whole building were taken. ALL eyes on me (people confused, with only being 1 cook there, as well as people knowing that I was screwed). Cheapskate owners not willing to pay 2. It was any cooks worst nightmare, a fucking warzone. I had an applause from a few people with people cheering me on, and complimenting my neat plates and good food which gave me a bit more confidence. (good crowd of people). i was an organized cook by nature, neat sandwiches, drain oil off food before plating it, neatly sliced veggies. While I would smile at the customers from time to time, crack a quick joke with a waitress, The only true thing I kept thinking about was the clock because I knew my replacement cook was to show up at 9pm. And she was a veteran cook. After i knocked out all of the funeral crowd, cars still continued to pull up. The clock went 15 min past 9pm so we gave her a call and she said her car wouldn't start. (probably lying). I had to be the hero (again) and cover her shift, worked 16 hours straight for a low $8/hour. cleaned a shit load of dishes, scrubbed the grille shiny clean, restocked everything, so much cleaning all around afterwards. Dead tired, I quit after my shift ended. Told them straight up, that I wasn't coming back. Wasnt gonna wait around for a potential .50 cent raise later or anymore of that place. That night ruined my nerves for cooking jobs. i havent had one since then. The money did not equal the labor/stress. I have a lot of respect for people who can handle it though while still putting out quality food in a timely matter. Don't matter how quick you are, if the plate looks messy, food don't taste good or is cold, you aren't worth shit as a cook remember that. With all being said, it was an experience that I'll always remember, and I still enjoy to cook as a passionate hobby.

    As a former grill Op at a waffle house in Northern Louisiana i have a couple of issues with this.
    1. He got a break (there are no breaks at the waffle house unless you smoke.)
    2. He was sitting waiting during the shift
    3. He used a drill whisk to make batter (its all in the forearm burn)
    4. The waitresses were nice when they asked for their food a second time
    5. Empty seats during a rush?
    6. Why aint he cleaning? Hes gotta brush the floor
    7. He got off on time???????????????
    otherwise pretty accurate. Hes lucky he got out of there without a meth addiction.

    And the pecan waffle.
    And the patty melt burger with hash browns and chili on it.
    And the hash browns. Scattered, Smothered, Chunked, Topped, and Diced.

      Even when I go to a waffle house where they dont care about what food they are putting out, it still tastes better than a lot of other places. Cleanliness is not a part of the Waffle House experience though, sadly.

    • @newzinski6946
      @newzinski6946 8 лет назад +1

      Actually you're not required to wear gloves in the kitchen at food establishments based on US law. The only time you need to wear gloves is if your handling raw meat and switching between multiple stations. Otherwise you are allowed to wash your hands every time between stations without gloves. I worked at Five Guys and we had to wear gloves based on company policy. Some restaurants, like Waffle House may not require it since it's up to the company to decide yes and pay extra for disposable gloves or no.
