My civic club's major annual fundraiser is a restaurant at a regional fair. Basics - burgers, fries, pizza, nachos. I'm running it again this year. So what's my beef? Club members who've worked the restaurant for years numbering in double digits who haven't the slightest *bleep*ing clue what to do.
You've worked that fryolator for twenty years and you never glanced at the big honkin' knob on the front to see what the temp setting was?
You've been the burger make-ready person for almost as many decades as I've been alive and you
still don't know the five ingredients on a basic burger? How hard can mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion be?
You didn't notice the big sign with 2" high fire-engine-red letters sitting six whole inches above the warming station that says "Chili and Nacho Sauce must be at 145* F or higher to be taken to the serving area. No Exceptions!"? No, it's not new. It's been there for years.
Yes, you really do have to play by the Health Department's rules. No, they don't make exceptions because we are volunteers/non-profit. Keep ignoring the rules the moment I walk out of the room and I may drag you outside and bash in your face with a funnel cake.
Really? REALLY!!?? YGBFKM.
Sorry, had to vent. Apparently putting on an apron sucks all relevant knowledge out of otherwise intelligent people. We're way up on the year but I am SO! FRIGGIN! GLAD! today is the last day.
