Glad I’m a cook, where “I accidentally made the order wrong” can turn into “I guess this is my mid-service snack now”. 😛 I only do it with untouched dishes though, and luckily it doesn’t happen often.

Hunger is powerful. It sucks to be food insecure enough to eat leftovers like this.

A couple months ago I straight yoinked half a ribeye off a plate right as the server was about to dump it in the trash. Teenage dishie said to me “you can’t do that!” and I replied “I sure can!” I’m a proud graduate of Raccoon School.

Well we know that OOP never worked in a kitchen because as others have said, a member of staff is obviously The Rat.

“Would you like to box the food for takeaway or the rat sir?”
“The rat?”
“The rat it is then” *claps twice and a half naked gremlin comes out from under the table and devours your plate*

The rat is the new nickname for the dishie.
You mean a broke server?
