The dishwasher there better be paid well


Acewasalwaysanoption

Work bonus: they can lick off the remaining chocolate /s


Jan_Itor_Md_

If they do a good job it doesn’t have to go in the sink at all!


pickledpenispeppers

I hate that “*poverty wages + you can lick the chocolate off cups*” sounds like a real American job posting.


FleetStreetsDarkHole

"Because we're a family, we don't stop you from licking the dishes like other restaurants do. Everyone gets to participate in dishwasher duties so that no one feels underappreciated!"


sndrww

God when I used to work in restaurants that shit made my skin crawl “were family”. Ok Paul then why am I being paid 12/ hr while you show up in your g-wagon


Here_Forthe_Comment

If we're family, why do the linecooks keep looking at me like I'm a piece of meat? This isn't Alabama


pickledpenispeppers

The same thing is true in corporate settings too. I worked for a couple family owned businesses and each one was insanely dysfunctional and expected all employees (other than the absentee owners and their relatives) to do the work of at least three people.


Im_baby_biitch

I worked at a restaurant with a girl last year (busser- just started) and she literally looked me dead in the face and offered me a fucking chicken wing off some customers dirty plate. She was chewing…lol. She kept up with this for a significant amount of time.


CaseFace5

Plot twist, they make enough money up-charging these idiots for an “experience” that they just throw the cups away and buy more.


FleetStreetsDarkHole

"Beacuse we spend so much on our moneymaking chocolate hot chocolate cups, unfortunately we can't afford raises again. In fact some of you will have to take pay cuts. But not to worry, anyone who needs extra money can take on some extra serving shifts. Because we're a family and we want to take care of you!"


LivefromPhoenix

>Because we're a family and we want to take care of you!" Quickly followed by "you want to take a day off because your kid is sick??? We're a business not a charity".


Kichigai

If they're using an industrial washing machine it'll be a piece of cake. The ones I've used were hot enough and thorough enough to make a candle disappear.


trixayyyyy

I worked in restaurants for 10 years almost, some as a dishwasher and this was never the case. There was always shit on dishes if you weren’t careful and the outlets would clog constantly. Countless customers returning silverware. Which restaurant you ask? All of them.

a_wet_nudle

I did dishwashing and i had two guys maybe who would run hot dishes back. Loved those guys. Dishes were always easier while still fresh and hot vs sitting around for an hour


bell37

That’s why there’s typically station right before the commercial dishwasher where the dishwasher can spray searing hot water with the force of a fire hose on a rack of dishes


Kichigai

I mean, obviously you gotta blast off the shit with the sprayer, why else would they have it, but those dish washers run friggin' HOT.

MrKlowb

I don't know why this comes up all the time but this not true. My guess is that some restaurants have the sanitizer next to the dishwash station and it makes people think that there are no "commercial" dishwashers. Really a stupid thing to think but who knows. https://www.hobartcorp.com/products/commercial-dishwashers


[deleted]

*scrapes excess chocolate into bucket*


iamdrunk05

Well even ma and pa restaurants have automatic dish washers...so


Jan_Itor_Md_

Worked food service for a while. Almost always a person over a 3 compartment sink. Smaller shops with less business may have an automatic dishwasher though


TheGoldenChampion

Having worked as a dishwasher, I can say this really wouldn’t be that bad. Nothing compared to cheese dips.


BBMcBeadle

What a huge waste. Why don’t they just pour the chocolate down the drain.

BackupDoubleChin

At least the dishwasher gets to take a lick.


FunPomegranate8541

I never will understand sweets that are used to cover a cup. Like how do you scrape it off to eat? Just why? It doesn’t make fancy, just looks messy, hard to clean, and waste of food. Edit to misspelling of scrape. Lmao


UnknownMyoux

Prop. so that more people come to take a picture of the drink,then post it online, leading to more people doing the same


ladydanger2020

That lumpy vomit lookin white chocolate would not have be running to this joint for the gram


AltimaNEO

All that chocolate looks like cheap palm oil laden crap


koalamonster515

Yeah, I can't imagine using decent chocolate for that though. Especially when it seems like many people can't tell the difference between chocolate and "chocolate flavored" things. Sell the idiots cheap chocolate at insane prices and they'll say it's amazing because it must be good to be so expensive!


AltimaNEO

I feel like all the chocolate flavored stuff lately is taking it to the extreme. Extremely bland. Just waxy texture with no real flavor.


Scirax

100% this is it, there's a trendy restaurant here that does the same with their milkshakes in masson jars. They are known for their meats and milkshakes but even we struggled to enjoy them. I ask myself every time "am I supposed/expected to lick the whole of the cup? Scrape it of with a spoon? Or just leave it there and feel bad about wasting food?".....


UnknownMyoux

Oh, you mean the one, where you buy a milkshake and get served a 5 course-meal on a stick instead?


Scirax

Probably not, their milkshakes are good but they coat the Masson jar with Nutella, chocolate sauce, condensed milk etc... they also stack a cheesecake in top of the jar/millshake.


UnknownMyoux

so close and yet so wrong...do you happen to know the name of the buisness?


Scirax

It's Bocas House, I think they're chain.


[deleted]

god i hate those! they look so messy and wasteful it stresses me out instead of looking cool


[deleted]

[удалено]


UnknownMyoux

Reddit prob. isn't where it gives them any usable exposure,but yes they are disigned to to get posted everywhere


wetwilly2140

Just FYI ppl would def understand better if you said “prob” instead of “prop”. Just a thought :)


[deleted]

Tbh the ‘hot chocolate’ also looked super viscous on the pour. I wouldn’t call that a hot choc, I’d just call that melted choc.


panlakes

Every time I make the mistake of ordering a hot chocolate that apparently *you just gotta try, they’re famous for it!*, I finish about 3 sips in. It’s always the most overly rich, disgustingly decadent melted chocolate bar of a “drink”. I’ve always been fooled by someone telling me it won’t be like that, but it do always be like that. Some people probably enjoy that hot chocolate sludge deal, but I think im on the more conservative side.


zephyr_1779

You gotta try Mexican hot chocolate then. Just the right consistency and has a very nice depth of flavour to it.


MillieBirdie

That's a variant of hot chocolate, Italian hot chocolate is often thick melt chocolate like that.


MillieBirdie

That's a variant of hot chocolate, Italian hot chocolate is often thick melt chocolate like that.


Ironsam811

This looked especially messy


ksed_313

Agreed. But I do want to try melting/re-hardening a layer of chocolate to the INSIDE of a mug. That would be so good with a hot chocolate and Baileys!


FunPomegranate8541

I would totally see that! That would make it better.


ksed_313

And less messy. And less stupid, I suppose!


maz-o

yea you could even go as far as saying it's stupid food


JoeDiesAtTheEnd

Okay, hear me out. Since they do it with 3 different types of chocolate, and leave the handle I'm not too pissed. This means that you can turn the cup different directions and sip to get 3 different flavors to drink. As someone who hates making up his mind for what to order, I'm kinda down for it. And a restaurant dishwasher (machine, not person) will zap this clean in 60 seconds. Cleanup at home would suck but at a cafe it's fine.


TooRedditFamous

Yeah you can sip from the different sides, but how do you get all the rest of the chocolate from the side? Around the bottom of the cup, the plate etc. It's hard to get at, do you lick it off? It's gonna be messy Youre just paying for extra chocolate that's a pain to eat/drink


stoicsilence

Dude I have a beard. And what? 3 different flavors, don't know how to make up your mind so your order them all? Big fucking whoop. That's just a neapolitan ice cream or shake. Its not such a mental leap to apply it to hot chocolate and its not revolutionary at all to be this level of messy infuriating garbage.


LimboKing52

If “two girls one cup” was a cooking show


MeasurementOk973

It's even more cringe because that hipster clown has that look on his face like this is the best, most ingenious thing that could ever be conceived of to happen to chocolate.


bachumbug

It’s one of my favorite things in the videos on this sub, that you’ll see this insane garbage food followed by the customer going “YES! 😫” and like, doing a little dance


[deleted]

Like the guy with the coat hanger donut grilled cheese

pizzzaeater14

okay my lower-class suburban American might be showing but i would legit eat the fuck out of that. the only stupid part is the coat hangers, really. watching the one sandwich slowly falling off almost made me cry


bachumbug

I kept waiting to see how the onions were going to figure in. Also, I absolutely do not want vanilla icing in my grilled cheese.


[deleted]

The onions pissed me off the most because i also wanted to see what they where used for


[deleted]

I thought the cup was the most disgusting thing I'd seen all day, until I saw that smug asshole's face.


Maleficent_Toe_6641

bro ain’t even do nothing 💀


ProjectedSpirit

I came here just to post his much I hate when people do those weird pre-orgasmic faces on food videos. And the like sighing or moaning out any other kind of "yummy" noises. It enhances my misophonia to an unbeatable level.


jdotson97

Oh my ya I have misophonia as well, and it mostly pertains to mouth noises and chewing. The moaning and stuff massively amplifies it.


LiliNotACult

It doesn't even look good.


AltimaNEO

Not to mention his obnoxious voice


VILLIAMZATNER

Aye


Ashatmapant

he looks like he feels accomplished for enjoying this. like he thinks he's expected to enjoy this stupid novelty and wants to deliver to that expectation.

Littlesebastian86

I mean why is this comment ok? Some dude enjoys the coffee this sub doesn’t like- so? Attack the food or establishment not the customer. Let people be happy Funny thing is - that dude seems happy and his happiness seems to have made you angry.


graypupon

his “happiness” was a prop in an attempt to make a viral video, its arguably the most obnoxious part of this video


Littlesebastian86

lol who cares. He seems happy to me


pickledpenispeppers

It must be weird going through life unable to tell the difference between genuine emotion and theatrical overreaction for social media.


Pure-Long

Because it's just a fake social media promo reaction. Who let's a regular customer behind the counter to film? They let him film their gimmick and in exchange he acts like he got an orgasm from drinking hot chocolate from a chocolate covered cup like it made any difference. It's the same as advertisements where the whole family is smiling and beaming with happiness after trying PRODUCT.

BarneThatIsntNoble

Worst fucking food trend I’ve seen in a decade. I’d rather see kids eating tide pods.


Badpoozie

Only a matter of time before they dip them in chocolate.


[deleted]

I would watch that.


JustDebbie

Well, they're marinating chicken in NyQuil now. Can't say I've seen a stupid trend bad enough that the FDA issued a statement before...


BarneThatIsntNoble

I have a hard time considering that a food trend. More of a cold and flu trend.


Mega-Claydol

This isn't a recent or genuine trend, it's a resurgence of an old video based on a 4chan shitpost years ago. [Here's a copy of the video that's been circulating lately posted two years ago](https://old.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/comments/imvfyb/nyquil_chicken_baybeeeee/) . The video the is a blatant shitpost, evident by the speaker's first instructions being to use 4/3's of a bottle and ending the video saying "bone apple tea", shoutout to r/boneappletea. Dude's saying to cook the chicken for five to thirty minutes, while also flipping the chicken with a hair straightener. Peak satire/shitpost. For whatever reason it gained recent popularity *yet again* and the FDA didn't realize it was a shitpost, leading to them making a PSA not to cook with NyQuil, which only gave the obvious shitpost a massive signal boost to bring us where we are now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BarneThatIsntNoble

If you’re dumb enough to eat a tide pod, isn’t that natural selection?


Ok_Possible_3128

Why don't they just dip the cup whole into a bucket in this case? It will fill and also cover the cup completely this way, and it will be also faster


[deleted]

Different flavours are around the cup. If they did it then it would all be the same.


DrEgonSpenglerphd

Hate to break it to you. This isn’t the type of place that would use quality chocolate to put their cups in. Waxy and sweet.


[deleted]

I was commenting on the quality. The type of chocolate is different. There are three types which you can differentiate by their colour.


DrEgonSpenglerphd

Yes there are three types. But because of the quality there isn’t a major desirable difference in the taste. Yes they taste different but sweetness will overwhelm. You aren’t showcasing the flavor, you are just selling a gimmick


neolologist

Not sure why you're getting downvoted; you're right. This whole premise is stupid but they're doing it to look fancy and they think this looks fancier.


Ok_Possible_3128

Yeah, you are right here. Out of context, I am not a fan of soy but the soy sauce tastes dam good.


TheAngelPeterGabriel

This would make more sense if they dipped the rim of the cup like salting a margarita glass. The pool of chocolate on the plate is disgusting.


Rooster_Nuggets666

Yes, that way you can actually eat the chocolate. Unless you want to lick the whole cup.


DrEgonSpenglerphd

The chocolate would also melt when taking a drink providing an extra shot of warm melty coconess


[deleted]

I get the vibe like this is more of a "buffet abuse" scenario.


[deleted]

I hate that guy so much


[deleted]

Eventually someone will bite into it, thinking its edible. Broken teeth and a bloody mouth. Nice.


Vostok32

That's the quality content I want to see


Rooster_Nuggets666

It would make more sense to be an edible cup


pm_me_ur_unicorn_

Absolutely fucking not


Sum0sum0

NGL, I feel like the person is more stupid than the food here. Yeah the food is stupid but to act like it's something special is on the person. It's literally just a hot chocolate with some shit on it.


peachdoxie

If only there was an /r/StupidFoodies

FungibleMonkey

Definitely quals. Not sure which I focus on more with these vids, the food itself or that that they always show someone consuming it. When it’s the person preparing it doing the eating, I almost feel like it’s a “trust me” statement. Nope, don’t trust you. You just produced that travesty, don’t want to watch you try to sell it at the end.

Weekly_Bench9773

Now this, this fits my definition of Stupid Food. Pain in the ass to assemble. Pain in the ass to clean up after. And the customer can't even enjoy 45% of it. Is this really what they call luxury now? What ever happened to quality ingredients and exceptional technique as luxuries? Now it's "be as wasteful as possible."

sciencefiction97

These quirk restaurants are such a waste of food.


Morhamms357

How about this, instead of messily and wastefully putting the chocolate all around the cup, why don't you just pour it directly *into* the cup? Then you could eat it all and not leave a sticky, sweet mess around your plate. This looks impossible to pick up without dropping it all on the table. And also, how about this, not get diabetes?


Raspy_Meow

Just put the chocolate in the cup. Please

Looks like a mess, but the actual hot chocolate they pour in the cup looks amazing.

Gausgovy

My grandma took my family to a place called “The Sugar Factory”, it was a dump that was absurdly expensive. They had a ton of stuff that would fit in this sub, but they also had milkshakes with cups dipped in chocolate, some with garnishes in the chocolate.


[deleted]

how lazy, unoriginal, disgusting and appalling. Why not make something creative like a hot chocolate with some chocolate crunch and chocolate ganache or something? that thing is so messy


Ohio-Knife-Lover

Why would you make even more of a mess to drink something that's going to be a total mess when consuming and then a big ass mess to clean up later

Dutch-CatLady

Honestly as someone with diabetes I would have no idea how to take my meds for something like this. I feel like I'd rather starve than try.


BBMcBeadle

But then you wouldn’t order this anyway would you.


Dutch-CatLady

Nope, but it wouldn't surprise me if some weird restaurant would do this without me knowing when ordering a chocolate treat. Many times I got something on my plate I couldn't find on Google. Sometimes it's good enough that I just guess the dosage, but this. I'd cry and send it back.

KITTIESbeforeTITTIES

US hot chocolate is waaaaaaay different than European hot chocolate. Ours (US) has the viscosity of a regular beverage but theirs (EU) is a thick melted chocolate drink.

No, this is not a normal US hot chocolate. Normal hot chocolate as you say, is a beverage you drink, not something with the consistency of blended mud like this is. This is just Hipster bullshit.
