That wasn’t that bad. Lets you know how much better you need to communicate.

Ain’t nobody getting fired for that.

Clear communication and direction helps avoid this issue.

“Drop fries on these three plates.”
Her: I already dropped fries in the fryer.
“No, I mean, drop fries on the plates, right here.”
Her: Fries *are* dropped, Chef!
“Girl, put fries on these three plates right in front of you. They have burgers. They need fries. Please.”
Her: Fine! *puts fries on all six plates on the line, the other three were getting salads.*

Yeah, I blame the guy with the glasses for not explaining sufficiently.

Damnit, Ben Barnes, you fucked up the pasta.

Every now and then instead of spelling everything out for people I’ll give them a slightly more vague instruction just to see if they can fill in the blanks themselves.. 9 times out of 10 they can’t and they fuck things up. They come to interviews with resumes that look like Ramsay’s then get the job and can’t even work out how to use a can-opener.

I have seen much much worse.

Oh no 😂
Tbf, I’d have prolly done the same thing. ☠️

You would be freaking amazed about how my staff gets confused using these exact chafers. Stupid me thought they where obvious.

Aw. Poor kid just made a mistake. He showed up. He looked clean. He’s probably 75% better than any potential replacement.

I’ve seen people get away with calling the boss a useless clipboard chef to his face, or accidentally pouring soapy water into a mostly-full 5-gallon bucket of vanilla ice cream. This is not going to get buddy fired lmao

Honestly the fact that he did dump it in there showed that he was at least thinking. If he was zombie braining it he probably would’ve just set it in there like normal, which would’ve worked out great actually lol.
But hey at least this guy is clearly *trying* to do something, and just needs better direction. Hope they were able to make light of the situation and not make him feel too bad or embarrassed about it. Now just give bro a little extra attention until he catches up —since he clearly wants to or else he wouldn’t be putting himself in what for him is a very new and challenging environment, almost every day.
A lot of people would quit or wouldn’t even try something foreign to them in the first place. But at least up to that point, this guy hadn’t. So props to him even if it was his second day or second month. Hope he’s running the place by now.

Maybe it was his first day

If he got fired for that (he didn’t), i’d never eat there

Reminds me of my first delivery catering order! I was delivering breakfast tacos and they had ordered chafers (the big foil pans) and sternos to keep them warm. I kept asking my boss “okay I put the water in the pan and another pan on top and then put the tacos in?” And my boss said yes. I sit the full pan down and poured water in it, lit the sterno underneath, then put ANOTHER FULL PAN on top. Started loading in the tacos and water started seeping out through the sides. I probably did it like this five times before I realized it should be two half pans on top. I think it was when I was back at the store weeks later and finally saw the half pans and I was like, “what are these for?” Lol. Ya live and ya learn!!! I can’t fault someone for this lol

We’ve all been there.
I once accidentally boiled away a soup that was supposed stay warm in a double boiler, instead I put the pot directly on the heat, causing it to boil away till there was only a charred mess at the bottom of the pot.

Valuable lesson learned for the trainer, next time he’ll know to show them how to set the pan down into it rather than just open the lid and let em interpret it however they see fit.

Once asked a first year apprentice to put 2 bags of flour on the ground next to the mixing bowl. That was an awful lot of sweeping.

I could have done that.

Honest mistake. If you’ve never seen one of those heaters (I actually don’tknow what they’re called myself 😅), I can understand why you’d think the pasta goes into the water.
