one of my favorite games to play whenever i rewatch the bear is “spot the very realistic health code/basic kitchen rule violations”

so far my favorite is one of the ones i’ve never seen mentioned: how often people wear their aprons outside the kitchen, which is absolutely a no-no and equally absolutely happens all the goddamned time and i am speaking from a lot of experience on that one

#ohhhh the many times over many jobs i realized i hadn’t taken my apron off yet when i was very much supposed to #but then i went fuck it. fuck this job. fuck the customers. i realized it before i hit the dumpsters or the bathroom it’s F I N E #we shall roll these dice together fucking assholes who don’t tip: me knowingly and you unknowingly but deservedly #my other favorite thing isn’t a healthcode violation (except when they’re in their aprons but don’t replace them after coming inside after)#and it’s crying and/or heart to hearts by the dumpsters (smoking optional but often involved)#have you truly worked in a restaurant until you have had an emotional breakdown by the dumpsters? i submit: no #to a degree where even the coworkers i hated and who hated me back found our common humanity next to the dumpsters #it’s hard to entirely hate somebody sweating and cursing next to you as you both throw out somebody else’s trash #because those people come here to enjoy life and we two? we band of unhappy brothers? we came to earn minimum wage #not to romanticize jobs i often hated so very very much #but There’s Something To This
