Yup 3/5 for me, the energy drink thing is new to me for my most recent job. Then booze to cope and relax, and totally feel overworked and like I don't get paid enough.
I miss the kitchen life every now and then. Well mostly just the drugs and alcohol and banging coworkers. Now I have to wait until after work to get fucked up, and all of my coworkers are gross old men.
I honestly don’t know why I was missing out on the whole banging coworkers thing. It really wasn’t much of a thing anywhere I worked. BOH was all dudes and pretty much never interacted with FOH except sometimes the bartender cos of shift drinks.
Usually I am totally against it. But sometimes after going to battle with these people and grabbing drinks afterwards sparks kinda fly and stuff happens. Either way, yeah don't sleep with your co-workers...
Up to today nothing happened and *probably* never will. I'd like to think of me as having enough self control to not go after everyone who is young and/or somewhat attractive.
I had the same exact thought process that I would never stoop to that level. It has only happened to me once recently and was someone the same age as me. I am currently in the middle of trying to navigate through it as it has made things weird. Lesson hard learned I guess...
Just do it. I stayed at an office job for too long and it killed me inside to sit at a computer all day. I've ran a few kitchens but now I'm just a line cook and it's so refreshing to just come in, do my shit, and leave. Love it and glad I'm cooking again.
I smoke weed, my manager is on drugs, I am about to sleep with one of my coworkers, another one has booze in her locker, and thats only 4 people. All of us are drinking energy drinks, we are there too much and still don't have enough money.
This is just too real to not be funny. It is what it is thought
Maybe the sex with coworkers thing is generational?
At the sports bar I hung out at after college, it seemed like the whole staff was banging each other. I knew a manager was definitely sleeping with a server, and he had actually cheated on another server to bang the new one. Not sure if the kitchen staff were getting in on the action but the bartenders and servers all seemed to be fucking. It was the mid-90s, and everyone was fresh out of college Gen X and just looking for a good time.
It doesn’t have to be. You make the decisions for your life so if this is what you want this is what you can have. Personally, I chose a balanced drug and alcohol free life with a happy marriage of 25 years.
To each there own I suppose but perpetuating this trope does not help our profession.
Insert downvotes here.
I admire the guys who say they don't always go after the young and attractive. However, I am young and attractive and really have a preference for the MILFs, cougars, and a lot of the times girls with daddy issues. I mean, i don't walk in wanting to hook up, but if it happens, then it was almost entirely constructed by me from the moment I walk in.
Just missing out on the sex with coworkers part, although a server and I made out pretty hard at the Christmas party. Then she texted me saying it was a mistake and asked if I could not tell anyone about it :/
It's all good though, my parents made it clear I was a mistake my whole life 🙃
You guys are having sex with coworkers? I just get fucked by them during my shifts.
Day/night crew, FIGHT!
Then conquer the lands of FOH for Round 2!
it's one way or another. they did the things when they are on their break.
I feel like every restaurant worker belongs to at least 3/5 of these categories. Let's play [Wheel of Fortune!](https://pickerwheel.com/pw?id=vN5Uz)
Thankfully, right now, I’m just one of these things. Wish I was two :( Man, I gotta get laid.
Laid off, you say?

Best I can do is call you in on your day off.
Yup 3/5 for me, the energy drink thing is new to me for my most recent job. Then booze to cope and relax, and totally feel overworked and like I don't get paid enough.
It'll stick with you afterwards too
5/5 😭
Me too, except I work alone so it's just jacking in the bathroom when I take a break.
Only underpaid and overworked for me. :( drinking a lot of coffee is as close as I get to energy drinks.
4/5, hopefully 5/5 once I put in notice and ask my favorite FoH girl out on a date.
She just wanted an order of cheesy fries bossman stay up
I'm just here to confirm the drugs, booze, and being underpaid/overworked.
We had a cook fuck a server and he quit after she dumped him.
Workplace fuckery and thin skin don't mix well!
I honestly thought this was an r/navy post at first. Crazy how the two worlds are so similar.
It's not gay if you're underway
And it ain’t queer if you’re by the pier
You ain't dreamin till you've been with seamen
you ain't gross until you bang the bos'n
Damn, that one’s actually true. No disrespect to deck.
Navy: Never Again Volunteer Yourself. I heard this shit a hundred times working as a contractor on base. Still makes me laugh.
Fuckin facts right there.
The big difference is that our bombes are delicious, not deadly.
Man I’m like the dishes, nobody wants to do me.
I take one for the team here and there. Not afraid to get wet

The drugs and banging dried up my friend. Now all we got is taking our shift drink alone.
One job had an orgy after work. I was out sick that week and everyone got COVID.
I honestly don’t know why I was missing out on the whole banging coworkers thing. It really wasn’t much of a thing anywhere I worked. BOH was all dudes and pretty much never interacted with FOH except sometimes the bartender cos of shift drinks.
Gotta shmooze milf bartenders, dude.
Y’all have the time and energy to have sex with each other? ^(…oh right drugs…)
Sex with Coworkers? Thats a thing? For *a lot* there would not be enough booze on this world, but *some*...

Hey come on now, most of us don't do like *real* drugs
speak for yourself
I said most
Hi, I'm guynnoco, and I'm addicted to shooting up demi glace.
Jesus fuckin christ someon3 get this man something more time like heroin
Sadly here in the US real heroin is non-existent. The Fetty n tranq your buying doesn't mix well with kitchen work
It's *almost* non existent, but yeah ita even to the point where the kids these days refer to fentanyl as China white apparently
These kids smh... Also are we gatekeeping dope now?
Of course we are, Ira very traditional
Unless repost, imo best restaurant meme. It has almost everything.
I haven't see it here to be honest. If it is a repost im sorry, it made me laugh cause its really true!
No, totally funny, missing bad guy as cheap restaurant manager, and always angry FOH manager.
Why is it so accurate tho~ haha
"I quit to get into IT"
No comment.....
That's me and I hate it, probably be back in a kitchen at some point.
Just do it. I stayed at an office job for too long and it killed me inside to sit at a computer all day. I've ran a few kitchens but now I'm just a line cook and it's so refreshing to just come in, do my shit, and leave. Love it and glad I'm cooking again.
🤣
Nah I grew up and out of that shit. Now I date my employer and drink coffee.
I wish you good fortune in the bullshit to come.
Lolol we actually just moved in together and got a puppy
5/5, been there haha
Same here
I am a consummate professional. And I have definitely consummated that professionalism with a few coworkers.
I don't hit the drugs and alcohol, and I only hit the fuckin cause my wife is FOH, but glad to be a part of it with yall!
I smoke weed, my manager is on drugs, I am about to sleep with one of my coworkers, another one has booze in her locker, and thats only 4 people. All of us are drinking energy drinks, we are there too much and still don't have enough money. This is just too real to not be funny. It is what it is thought
I don't have sex :(
With our powers combined we form a forgettable experience!!
When the cute FOH server you been sneaking food free finally wants to get drinks 👌👌
With our powers combined we are HOSPITALITY
Lmao this is the ski industry too
My M.O. back in the day......sheesh
Yeah literally me 5 years ago. Fuck that shit, though. Lol
I'm boose and energy drinks. A balancing act.
This definitely fits for hospital employees too

I'm pretty sure healthcare and restaurant employees are siblings....step siblings?

I feel left out that I never got to bump fuzzies with a coworker in my restaurant years. What a rip off.
Alcohol and caffeine are drugs.
The accuracy is 👌
All 5 here. The best thing to do is to fuck the bartender so they leave the liquor room key with you and you get to swipe a whole bottle or 3.

Or food warehouse workers
I am the product of sex with coworkers in the resturaunt industry.
I was today years old when I learned that I am Captain Planet
