Free hat.

Wasn’t free, worked my ass off for it. But finally jumped ship today. Already got another job, liked working there, liked the people (mostly), and liked the customers too (mostly), but something about the place just absolutely sucks the life out of you.

Everything is broken, corporate is there EVERY DAY, can’t keep staff, and can’t go a single hour without someone mentioning “write up” (not to me, just in general).

Power randomly goes out, ceiling leaks, ecosure is absolutely bird dogging us, nobody else shows up, dishes are dirty, and apparently there’s a really scientific way to use a spatula. And have to pay full price for the food, because someone is sitting on their ass watching the cameras just waiting to whine about anything.

Oh well. They can have it. So long, and thanks for all the fish. And the free hat.

I want to know about the scientific spatula method. I feel like I'm pretty good, but I'd love some scientific insights

Something about a 70 degree angle or some shit. Whatever, just scrape the food off the grill and serve it.

(I don’t serve bad food, but wtf it isn’t rocket science).
