I work in a breakfast place and I dread getting a steak and eggs order. It's not that I can't do the steak properly and get it out on time, it's that the people who work on the station that does the steaks don't quite grasp anything besides shoe leather when it comes to meat. And honestly I do not blame them... I blame the former KM (and you see I said former...lol) for not taking the time to teach them the proper way to do things. I know how to cook a steak because I have more experience than they do and well that is fine but it doesn't do any good when I am at the other end of the line on the egg station and he just didn't see the point in teaching them how to do things properly.
Sorry this turned into a rant... today was a little (alot) stressful and it was that station that stressed me the most.

I had a 10 year old girl return a perfect MR filet. She said it was over-cooked. What kind of parent lets a 10 year old send back a perfect 30$ steak? The owner took out another MR steak and made her cut it in front of him to make sure it was ok. No complaints then of coarse.

We had a good one yesterday. This pair of ladies walks in about five minutes before closing and chain policy is that we serve food until closing. They were given the menu and they ask the server (in a VERY snotty manner) if THIS was the whole menu..server says yes they are really snarky. (our menu is five freaking pages...whaddaya want???) So they order.. and were rude when the server brought their meals, rude when they asked for more dressing andbest part.. they STAYED till 4:30... an hour and a half after closing. I think people who walk into a place within an hour of closing (with the exception of a food court place or fast food outlet) are ruder than rude. I hope they tipped the poor server!
