Good thing I knew what ginger scallion oil looked like, because that label wasn't going to help me at all.

    This may seriously be a literacy issue. Is English their first language?

    All jokes aside this shit is sad. Our schools need to do better. Spelling, grammar, handwriting, reading & comprehension, history, math, science, common sense. All of it.

  3. Diced_and_Confused

    A dyslexic walks into a bra.

    Seriously, maybe a system other than handwriting. Colors, shapes.

  4. Are you sure you guys didn’t make them mad and they are actually trying to summon an eldritch horror?

    This aside, what does their chives look like? Handwriting can be improved, but if the chives are for shit, just let them go now.

    I believed I was on r/greatscificovers and this was the alien language cover of Jeff Vandermeers Annihilation.

    Ginger. Ginger guacamole. Singer scarac & Br. Gilgelscaclenr. I have no idea.

  8. No_Math_1234

    Have they considered using their dominant hand to write?

  9. Snargleface

    I guessed the first word was ginger. Is there a 9 c / 12 r towards the end with maybe a cock and balls emoji in there?

  10. Helps to write the label on the table then put it on the container. Writing on tape that’s already stuck to the side is really hard.

    Suggest they put tape on prep table, write content on and date and then transfer to cambro. Looks like they put tape on container and wrote at a wonky angle.

    We have a cook with dyslexia. I write out his labels sometimes, and read them when he isnt sure. 

    It has forced me into better handwriting. If its large and clear he’s usually fine.

    Not even close to good enough. It’s one thing to have less than great handwriting, but this is completely illegible. No offense to them, but that needs to change.

  14. TheClownKid

    Yeah, if this person is a native English speaker, I am yelling at them.

  15. conquerorofgargoyles

    It looks like they’re writing in glyphs

  16. HighburyHero

    Looks like they wrote it after putting the tape on the cambro.

    It looks like he’s approximating the shapes of letters using other letters

    Is this a literacy issue? I have ESL guys who write some pretty wild labels. It is easier for me to simply have them use their native language, and learn that, then try to decipher an attempt at English.

    This could also just be a straight up literacy issue, something I’ve dealt with in the past. In that case, I have them skip trying to write out what is in the container, and just go with the date and initials. Then, slowly teach them how to write, one item at a time.

    Now, if this is a handwriting issue, have them write the label out by sticking it to a prep table first. Or, have them put the label on the container while it is empty, then write on that. That can improve handwriting a lot.

    Anyways, wild ass label right?? I got ‘ginger’ but I couldn’t get the rest.

  19. Before I make fun, does this person have all their fingers?

    Oh, that’s the name of Elon’s latest kid

    It looks like a culinary trained spider left me a note.

    Really not trying to be funny. Is that written in English?
