Almost makes you wanna chain them to a radiator to teach them the error of their ways.

The worst is that they often bring something to cover themselves up in the office, because “they keep our office too cold.” So, they’re out on the street wearing a sweater, or some nonsense. And then, they come into the restaurant, and complain about it, too, being too cold, because naturally the air conditioning is on to keep the air at a pleasant temperature.

Also those of us in construction. We sympathize this week.

My sweat was sweating yesterday

It’s been in the mid to high 90s this week. Been sitting in a chair in the a/c all week. I remember working in an open outdoors kitchen. Standing over a screaming hot griddle in 90° weather, with 8 fans on me and still dripping sweat down my face. It was fucking brutal some days, but i really do miss being a cook. I haven’t known the satisfaction you feel at the end of a rough service in 3 years.

Gotta stand over a kitchen sink of hot water for hours on end and the breeze is nearly non existent, despite the window being literally next to me.

This is why I don’t complain about the heat anymore.
I worked in restaurants for a long time. Now I work a corporate office job where I’m either in AC at the office, or AC at home.

Sunday past, 32C outside (90F) and I walk to my station with the tilt skillet reducing beef stock. Humidity off the charts. Mmmmm, toasty. Freezer towels deployed.

97 outside on Monday. I worked the wood fired grill station for 11 hours and then rode my bike an hour home at the hottest part of the day. Friends/relatives were telling me I was crazy.
It was a little bit hot on the ride home I guess. But nothing crazy. At least there’s a breeze when you’re moving outside.

My partner suggested we go out for dinner after a long drive…I was like absolutely not. We had a big fukin salad.
Kitchen staff should all get a holiday everywhere in these temps.

My office is so cold I have to wear a hoodie…first world problems, I know.

I worked in a pizza kitchen for 4 years. Summers were unbearable. My only saving grace was that it had a pool at the time.
I work in an office now and I had to turn my space heater on Monday afternoon because the AC is controlled by the building manager.

I now work in an office job after working in a kitchen for 12 years. I never say anything like that anymore or complain much about the heat at work. I know from experience how bad it can get.

Working in manufacturing. The warehouse is connected to the office and there is a clear temperature difference…

I work with digital presses all day. I feel this. My area can easily get 15 degrees hotter than anywhere else in the building. After having several presses running for 6 hours without pause I’m dripping sweat.

I generally don’t mind the heat anymore. Customers talk about the weather regularly when they walk into the air conditioned dining area.
Yesterday, I opened my thermometer and set it on the prep table next to the fryer. It was 113.5 F at 10am. Probably drank 7 or 8 cups of water after my iced coffee.
