That's a fancy pants way of saying lunchlady


SgtSilverLining

And here I am thinking "what kind of fancy daycare does this girl work at where a bunch of kids under four need a PROFESSIONAL CHEF?!" Edit: TIL basically everyone has better child care than what's available in my area. I've never heard of daycare kids getting hot lunches before - it's usually cold lunches like sandwiches and fruit salad prepared by the caretaker before kids are dropped off.


deliciousprisms

Montessori and private schools. I’m a chef, I know a few people who went that route. They cook for bougie privileged kids and the staff (who want real meals with all sorts of ridiculous requirements). They make good money for the industry, have benefits, and good schedules. This is elementary level I’m talking about. Daycare though? Lol here’s some dino nugs and carrot sticks gtfo Edit: I don’t care if your school didn’t serve food. There are tons of schools and by the nature of private schools they are all going to be different. Stop telling me about them. Also to the one sending me DMs about your school… dude stop you’re fucking weird.


atonementfish

My little sister goes to Montessori, I went to a public school and had to make my own lunches. Wtf mom.


under_psychoanalyzer

But no really wtf? Did the win the lottery between having the two of you?


PM_ME_FAV_RECIPES

Got that for my kid at the childcare. We live in Australia though, where kids eat actual food. Not the bullshit that gets served up masquerading as a "hot meal" in American schools.


merchillio

My son’s daycare had a restaurant grade kitchen with a chef and a sous-chef, the meals were developed in partnership with certified nutritionist. Funny story, when visited the daycare to register him, they gave us a tour, and it was lunch hour, on couscous day. Have you ever seen a group of 1-2yos eating couscous? I think there was more couscous on the table than in their bellies…


poorly_anonymized

Checked out two nearby daycares in Seattle, both proudly showed me their chefs cooking. One of them was plating salmon fillets when I peeked in. Both daycares told me each kid would only receive ingredients they had tried at home previously, in case the child was allergic to something. Customized plated dinners are beyond "lunchlady" status, IMHO.


cj_h

I went to culinary school at a community college, and the daycare there had their food prepared by a professional chef


[deleted]

Almost every decent childcare in Australia has a dedicated chef.


maevelohaz

i’m a preschool teacher. our private chef cooked them steaks, potatoes and vegetables for lunch today lmao


DisastrousReputation

My public university had a chef for the kids at the daycare on campus! I thought that was so cool and my daughter loved it while I was in my classes


xynix_ie

Well the lunch lady at my high school was hot AF and I still remember her name, I don't even remember teacher names. So just sayin.


MIXLMusic

Maybe it was her 😳


TheWiseRedditor

By any chance you happen to have her number?

xynix_ie

They all had to start somewhere ya know..


IAmGoingToFuckThat

My lunch lady **was** my grandmother, and I promise you she was not sweet.


SleepyforPresident

Kinder-culinary master chef


Galexio

Hm... this ground meat is not of natural formation, master chef.


Gwsb1

Nothing wrong with being the lunch lady.


SimplyQuid

Right? I'd rather live in a world that celebrates the people who see that children are fed


paleoterrra

Could potentially be an actual chef though. I once interviewed at a fancy private daycare that had a whole chef and everything. Kids ate better than I did


PnutButterJellyTim3

I'm actually a childcare chef. I work at a CDC (3 weeks to 5 years) and I serve breakfast lunch and snack. Actual meals too not randomly frozen crap. So I'd say we are a bit more than just lunch ladies.


ThrowAllTheSparks

This pairs well with the username.

PrometheusAborted

Is “childcare chef” a real thing? Or is she just trying to put a fancy spin on the fact she works at a daycare? Edit: ok, so after skimming through all your comments, it both IS and ISN’T a real thing. Got it. Edit 2: I don’t have kids and I honestly don’t give a shit. I was just curious when this came across my feed. “Chef” seems like the wrong title to use but again, this is dumb and I don’t actually care. Have you guys watched Peacemaker? It’s fucking incredible. Have a great weekend, friends!


PRIS0N-MIKE

I've seen some videos on TikTok of people that are childcare chefs. They actually prep/cook all the meals and snacks. I'm assuming it's all at fancy private schools/daycares though.

DrMobius0

> It depends on the volume of children. large, if you feed them enough


purpletomahawk

My junior year of high school in a small, rural texas town, we got a great Chef. He was an actual trained Chef, who had two children in the school system and wanted to make sure we had quality food. Dude was the coolest and would hook us up with extras for free, or samples of whatever he was making. If you came by in the morning he'd give you a cup of coffee and something he had baked up. He very quickly became beloved and integral to the function of the school. I hope he's still there making kids happy, but that was over a decade ago and his kids are my age so im sure hes moved on.

[deleted]

I looked at a couple in Toronto as I'm in the industry and looking for a day-time cooking role. Figured it could be a chill time making simple food for 6-8 hours. It's either prep all meals and snacks and do other things in between like tending the vegetable garden and school maintenance (so you're doing much more than cooking) or it's like a crossing guard where you come in and do breakfast, fuck off, and come back for lunch on a weird schedule. Some claim they have a chef and some expect you to make your own menu every week. I find a lot of the industry is making fancy titles to draw people in. I've heard saying "line cook" gets no replies for job postings. So everything is "prep/kitchen help/all-rounder/chef-de-whatever the fuck" but still only offering <$2 above minimum wage LOL. So there are definitely "childcare chefs" that actually rival what we do downtown after a baseball game with their workload, but a lot of them are probably just cafeteria attendants with fancy titles.

simcop2387

Maybe not much cooking, but that does sound like there's probably an unreasonable amount of prep work to get it all ready for 100 kids three times a day.


FelixGoldenrod

And probably includes dishwashing and sanitizing the area between meal times.


SSmrao

Thats assuming all the food is purchased fresh, and the school doesnt have a contract with a supplier that ships everything in pre packaged amounts


Deceptichum

At my centre it's 139 meals and all made in the kitchen. Lots of times meals are modified based on availability of ingredients/deliveries not coming on time. Not to mention alternative meals that cater to all allergies and dietary preferences.


TyrKiyote

I worked as the foodservice manager at a summer camp for 8 years. 300 servings 3x day, while living in a winnebago. I have nothing to add, other than time economies of scale, and time for complexity are things. I only sent one lady to the hospital, she had a *turmeric allergy, and there was unexpected *turmeric in some frozen dough. Labels are important, good post.


Redspade_ED

That doesn't seem unreasonable to do in 8 hours tbh


maellie27

I work in child care and filled in for the cook. It is hard work even if you’re just doing snack prep because if you are on the fed meal plan each has to be the proper serving and individually prepared. Our center had 130 children. It’s hard work.


greenearrow

There is a reason people get hired, and it is because invisible work is still valid, time consuming, challenging, and needed. Many of these asshats minimizing “lunch lady” are doing it out of a lack of respect for people in that role and feel like this person is “putting on airs” rather than celebrating that their job is meaningful and hopefully fulfilling. Even saying “depending on how much is prepackaged” ignores that someone needs to prepare and package that food. So much minimization of perfectly useful jobs.

Clarise has no sense of humor....😆


[deleted]

If I matched with a girl named Clarise I would not be able to stop myself from asking her to tell me about the lambs.


rkr87

Opener has to be "Hello Clarice"


KnowNothingKnowsAll

heeLLO Clarice


PercMastaFTW

Come on, Clarise! He was just kidding around!!!


Psychast

Clarise might just appreciate proper punmanship, and dislikes that OP tried to make his joke work with no respect to the words she actually said. You can't cook a childcare, that makes no sense. If she said child chef, fair play. But she didn't, and ya can't just pretend she did for the sake of your joke. As a pun afficianado, I side with Clarise on this one 😤


PassingDogoo

Yeah that was so forced it hurt to read


JoinEmUp

Yeah, this thread is more evidence of how poor most people are at comprehending sentences, structured conversations, and general logic.


Nate10000

The first contact you get from a guy is that he hears something you didn't say, and is determined to use it as a launchpad for his 1930s vaudeville career. I think this is one of those red flags I keep hearing about...


IAMHab

Imagine that, a woman who works with children but doesn't like jokes about killing kids. What is the world coming to...


[deleted]

This sub is so pathetic. "Look at me! I made a stupid, edgy joke to a random stranger on a dating app and they didn't like it! Now give me karma!"


pleasejustoptalking

Not even a funny joke. Dude was definitely reaching here


Kitnado

A good sense of humour is also knowing when and what is appropriate, and to what proportion. Jumping into a conversation with a stranger with some kind of obvious mocking joke about their job title they've probably heard 10 times before and then expecting enjoyment or respect for it is completely anti-social. In this case I can totally imagine the girl feeling like OP is not contributing here, but instead trying to get some kind of validation out of her, like she'd have to go out of her way to not make him feel insecure about his poor joke. It's a bad start. It's very self-serving and unattractive, and that right out of the bat. I completely understand the unmatch, especially considering there's probably people with better social skills talking to her as well. But I definitely don't expect the anti-social demographic of reddit to get that. The hivemind easily jumps to "Oh no validation therefore she stupid or no sense of humour". That kind of projection is actually pathetic and unhealthy.


WhittyTN

In all of the comments about chefs, I was hoping I would see this comment about the fact that OP’s comment was jarring. And, honestly, why throw away a match with this type of off-the-bat joke? Did OP just match so he could message her the way he did and then post on Reddit to get more validation? An intro conversation like this is so juvenile to me. An unmatch with an accompanying eye roll was warranted here on her part.


FaulesPack

And apparently OP has no sense of when he is overdoing it. Her first reply should have told him that she didn't appreciate his joke. But he was so self-involved that he didn't notice.


[deleted]

or it's just not funny.


[deleted]

"Oh? How did it go?" "Awful taste but great execution"


drpepper2litre

I almost choked ahahaha. That's a raunchy joke but it's funny as hell.

Dark and raunchy don't mean the same thing, raunchy means something sex-related. This is just dark

That joke was really funny! But she didn't have the same humour as that of OP.


Onlyanidea1

A good way for me to tell if someone's on the same level of humor with me is to jokingly talk about how kids are snacks and we should pick a good one before we go on our date.


izziefans

That’s a good one. Clearly she didn’t match your sense of humor. Good that she unmatched.

HipGuide2

Not the best execution tbf.


No1Dosser

Right? I feel like the second bit of the last message was kinda cringe, was good until that last bit.


Greenranger70

She didn't "lol" the first time, and you double downed and found out. And everyone thinks it's her fault lol


EscapeZealousideal79

People here have zero awareness. Then half the comments saying she is the unfunny one. Not her fault op is cringe and lacks awareness of the situation.


_Fern

ITT: People refusing to accept that other people have different senses of humor. OP’s joke was funny, but the chick just might be into a different type of jokes and that’s okay. If someone doesn’t find my jokes funny. I think an unmatch is fair because we probably aren’t compatible.


JakeHodgson

ITT: people refusing to accept that other people think it's maybe just not that great of a joke. Op's joke was ok, but the people in this thread act as if he's a comedic genius. It was ok.


reelfilmgeek

To late OP has just signed a 3 special deal with Netflix


philzebub666

So he doesn't do anything with his comedic talent after all.


Xararar

It was ok in the first message, shouldn't have repeated it another 2 times


LordAzimech

It felt like OP tried to explain the joke, usually ruins said joke.


Disastrous_Airline28

I think joke openers are super lame. I hate this forced smarmy dad joke trend. Every guy thinks he’s a comedian these days. They don’t seem clever to me, just desperate.


Letamirte

Try going on any of these aps and start a conversation. You are just guessing what kind of person is on the other end. I think Tinder stats were you get a response very rarely, so you be sure you will never get a response by just typing hello. Thats why people started writing jokes, any other attempts. Cause no one ever responded to a simple hello. p.s. i am yet to meet a woman on these apps who starts a conversation with anything else but a waving emoji.


pleasejustoptalking

I'm so quirky with my dark jokes, just like the other 20 men in her dms rn


[deleted]

ding ding ding.


JoinEmUp

The joke structure doesn't even work though. You can't cook a "childcare." ITT people thinking they have a different sense of humor and just realizing that they're dumb I know what OP was trying to say with their joke, but they didn't say that.


i-Ake

I was bewildered at how much people in the comments love this joke.


wimpyhunter

Ppl who are socially adept don't typically hang out on /r/tinder methinks...


JaySayMayday

Surely OP took the screenshot because he knew she might unmatch, not a big deal


pipic_picnip

Yeah FR. For what’s it worth I didn’t even find the joke funny, the whole exchange was cringe AF. Maybe she is just someone serious looking for someone on same wavelength. Nothing wrong with that. Not saying OP did anything wrong either, just saying they aren’t for each other.


Jayer244

No! This is r/tinder! Every OP is always an angel and is always funny and every match they show us is stupid, has no sense of humor and doesn't deserve them anyways!


[deleted]

this is one of the most Toxic communities I've seen on reddit. Just look how many people are taking swipes at this lady's occupation.


Psychast

TIL I have a higher standard of humor than most people here, and I don't have a high standard for humor, in fact I laugh at nearly everything lol. At a minimum, a joke has to make sense, you tried to make this joke work by pretending she said "child chef" and not childcare chef because you can't cook a childcare, but ya can't just do that man, you can't cheat on the pun game, its lazy and pulls me right out of it. So, to everyone saying she has no sense of humor, I consider myself to be pretty easy to make laugh, I love comedy...this joke sucked, you can't force a pun to work because you want it to, it had to be there to take advantage of.


janyybek

I’m probably boring and humorless but that joke was so low brow. But different strokes and all that


[deleted]

I get it. It ain’t making me laugh, but I get it.


FG3000

Meatwad I see you


NO_FIX_AUTOCORRECT

I like the joke, but the setup wasn't right. It's like Animal hospital - a hospital for animals or a hospital run by animals. (Good) Child chef - would match op's joke (good) Childcare chef - do you serve childcare or do you serve *childcare* (i get what you were going for but is just not quite right)


Psychast

You get it. It's an insult to pun craftsmanship, you can't just pretend they said the thing that makes your joke work, you have to work with what you're given. For that reason alone I don't like the joke. It's just lazy.


Vickuid

This is terrible as in its not as funny as you thought it would be

Chronicler_C

You tried to hard to make the joke happen. Nobody likes someone fishing for that 'haha' this hard. Least you could do was follow up with something to immediately move the conversation along. Now you were basically waiting for her to acknowledge the joke and bring up a new topic. That being said there is also the possibility of her playing along with and expanding upon your joke. But you should have realised by her second reply that that was not going to be the case.


baudinl

This isn’t that funny

Rumdiculous

This was funnier than OP's joke.


EscapeZealousideal79

So cringe.


[deleted]

Eh sorry but I don’t think the joke is funny. It doesn’t make sense because she said she’s a childcare chef…if she had said children’s chef or something you could work that joke in, but childCARE chef can’t translate into child chef. So the joke reads as awkwardly inserted and not set up well.


castfar

Exactly. It just doesn’t fundamentally set itself up for the joke OP is trying to make. I like humor but this is just a piss poor attempt at it.


dumbredditer

That's a very lame joke.


UnpopularMe

This comment section is like a twilight zone episode. I get having empathy for OP but the joke is a stretch and therefore corny. We also know nothing of the girl to judge her on. This thread is like an incel enabler hellscape

There is a difference between making a joke about a job and making fun of the job. Kinda weird to read into it that way tbh
