    Is there any context?

    Or someone randomly sent this email to someone?

    I feel personly attacked by the email.

    Aprons are hard to come by.

    Sysco supplies almost all of North America’s restaurants, whether they’re pre-made meals, or fresh produce.

    He’s gonna have some difficulty finding a non Michelin rated gourmet that doesn’t use them. I guess he could go with McDonald’s, last I checked they used Martin Bower..

    It’s me. The mudderfukker is talking about ME.

    Is it still a sign of autism if you think like this but don’t ever say it or email it? Although showers are overrated.

    Asking for a friend.

    I mean I can understand why autistic adults may have a hard time maintaining a job that’s less than optimal but the “doing things as well as they can possibly be done” Is so open ended that maybe that’s where you work in from?

    Every place has a different standard definition of success so reorient their direction at that. Otherwise I’d advise them to maybe find an environment that’s more akin to what they’re expectations are.

    Imagine having your standards so low that you have to blame people looking for other job opportunities on autism.

    This person is absolutely delusional and needs to find a different career. Been in catering for nearly 20yrs and we’ve got a staff of over 100 people. A handful of them are autistic and guess what….they’re NEVER an inconvenience to anyone around them. Whether it be prep work, janitorial or dish pit etc. But the amount of people not autistic in my kitchen causing issues is toooo many to keep count.

    Might as well have been me prior to the pandemic

    May I ask what this has to do with the boh? Apologies if I am out of line.

    Sounds like the dipshit who was getting all huffy about American cheese in here a few weeks ago. “Not in my kitchen.” 86 cheeseburgers, I guess.

    Not their fault they live amongst uncultured swine.

  13. Existential_Sprinkle

    I don’t see anything that’s explicitly autistic about that?

    They just sound pretentious as heck

    Working from scratch isn’t necessarily a sensory thing and autistic people usually understand that their special interest is a special interest and don’t judge people who don’t share it

    He’s not wrong about a nice Chianti, I’ll have that when I eat his liver. 

  15. the last sentence is an entire paragraph (nearly).

  16. MGP (Ross and Squibb) produce some solid bourbon, this person is crazy.

    hi, I’m autistic. this guy’s a dickhead, but we knew that.

    I realized early on working in restaurants that there’s an unimaginable labor burden to make everything as painstakingly as this dude wants. like, the burden is ALREADY crazy. I can’t make one bagel perfectly, nevermind hundreds. and the sheer amount of flour! it always blew my mind how much work it took to make the simplest things. I don’t think bookie particularly understands or cares about why the sysco truck rolls in twice a week because he refuses to see other peoples hard work.

    is wine education fun? yes! do many people just want a nice white that isn’t too sweet? also yes! it’s genuinely difficult to think through someone else’s perspective when you’re autistic. it’s the reason I can’t act for shit.

    but this dude doesn’t want to provide a service, he just wants to drown in a barrel of navel gazing and moan about some false sense of purity lost.

    I bet this guy makes friends really easily
