all my years in food service I’ve never seen something this stupid before.

    Boy, the quotes on “fixed” are doing some heavy lifting. Tf did bro use, an arc reactor

  2. squeakynickles

    The fact they blow through the base material while only tack welding AND it’s still a weak weld is absolutely incredible.

    This is like when I was teaching grade 9 kids how to weld in autoshop

    why are your “oven cleaners” bringing a welder with them?

  4. Bad job with a stick. I’ve seen JobCorps students do a better job. A MIG or TIG welder would have been a better choice.

    Oh shit. Stainless steel welding is a whole another ballgame. We had a hard time finding a person that does this kind of work.

    So that’s probably not food safe anymore. I don’t know what metals are in the ‘welds’ that could leech into food and it’s also gonna hold bacteria.

    People need to use oven cleaners more for durable surfaces. It works wonders. I have used it on my old bathtub .

  8. The second pic looks like some Black Mirror level monsters.

    I actually gasped, “…. the fuck they **do**?” out loud in a room Akon with me and my dog. Those photos *hurt* to look at.

    r/welding could tell you what went wrong, and how to fix it.

    If it is stainless, take it to a proper welding shop that does stainless TIG welding.

    Why the fuck are cleaners doing any welding at all?

    Who had them do this? Who okayed it? I’d be up their ass to get it replaced on their dime for this level of fuck up.

    “So, I bought a Temu arc welder last week”

    Jesus, even I could do better. I’m a novice and my beads SUCK, but that poor bowl wtf 😬👀💀

    Tell them to lay off the meth before coming in. Holy. Hell. I would be *So Pissed*.

  14. Fergus_Manergus

    Looks like someone’s getting a new dough bowl.

  15. Admiral_Kite

    I’m crying, I swear this is so sad and maddening wtf 😭

  16. drywallfreebaser

    It only took 4 hours, seventeen sticks of cold welds, a lot of brushing and calling in another guy with more sticks but dammit if we didn’t save this beauty.

  17. MotorEnthusiasm

    I’ve never welded a thing in my life, and I haven’t been in restaurants since early 2020.

    Something isn’t done correctly here though….

    Our sprayer in the dish pit was leaking, about a drop every ten seconds. Right around where the ‘head’ mechanism meets the rest of the hose. Not really a big deal. management fixes it by cementing it in, so the head no longer comes off. Ever.

    I mean, it stopped the leak. But if that head every breaks we don’t have a fuckin’ workable sink anymore.

    It could have been fixed if the person new what he was doing. It still can be fixed and with a mig machine with the right person and prep work to clean it up.

    As a closer with a welder I know I can do better, but man alive they could cut back those settings. This isn’t an amp, no need to dime bag it.

  21. Safferino83

    Looks like they welded stainless steel bowl with mild steel wire.

  22. ElectronicGarden5536

    Back in the day i did foodservice for Lubys. I can tell you now as a guy who tig welds that that took some doing to over penerate that bowl.

  23. Cleaning products provided by Weyland-Yutani Corporation.

  24. Special_Luck7537

    Were they trying to turn that bowl into a sieve?

  25. blueskyren

    As a former cook and current welder, it’s like this post was made to torment me specifically.

    Judging by those dog turds they left all over your bowl, I wouldn’t trust them to lick a spoon clean, much less properly clean an oven. Not even exaggerating, I’ve seen dudes actively on meth do better.

  26. Stoner-Mtn-Lights

    Send them a bill for a new mixing bowl, that is straight garbage.

  27. ASAP-Tiii

    This is so crazy and trying to understand the rationale behind this is puzzling
