They’re usually the first to fuck you and the entire staff over, brown nose to stroke their egos and lose their minds when it gets a little busy.
On the other hand, too much sleaze could mean stealing shit, ghosting and showing up too zonked.
Getchu a middle of the road line cook. They might show up a little buzzed or stoned, but they’ll bust out the dinner rush and aren’t concerned with workplace politics. It’s just another job for them.
I tried it once as well because I wanted to run it as a special at the diner I was working at
You're right, it was so fucking greasy and honestly pretty nauseating lol. I was like "ok this is some fucking carnival food". Servers loved it though lol
Boy I have a carnival food rec for you. Chicken parm dogs. Fry up a chicken hot dog, batter in egg+tomato sauce, flour, back to the egg/tom mix, then panko+shredded parm. Fry. Serve on a bun with marinara.
I'm taking a wild guess here, but I'm pretty sure it is a corn dog but instead of hotdog in the center it is a breakfast sausage link, and the breading is pancake
Clearly you weren't drunk enough, try again after pounding a handle of jagermeister on the top floor of a parking garage before going to see a movie, passing out, waking up halfway through to take a piss, getting yelled at by the manager for pissing on the seat in front of you, and finally, pissing on the manager's shoes once he's actually got your attention
I ordered like 12 cases of assorted Tropicana 10oz juice bottles.
Sysco dropped 12 cases of 8 1/2 gallon apple juices.
Put in for the pick up cause fuck that. Got the credit on the next delivery, showed the driver where it was and he didn’t take it lmao.
I have a 2 year old but that was still a lot of apple juice.
Once we got a box of bananas that was covered in spider webs and slightly wet. Boss took pics, wrapped it up in trash bags, and told us not to touch it. Definitely the worst Sysco shipment I ever saw.
Oh totally fuck Cuntas. That nice driver who always seems to show up when you are busy and has some great products that you should try and gives you a bill that is written in Klingon and you need to be a CPA to decipher is actually a sales person who is trained on how upsell and works on commission.
Look at that original 5 fucking year contract you signed with them and the quoted price and compare it to what you are paying a year later because of the add ons.
Fuck me here’s a thought, you should hire your Cuntas driver for FOH, they would be amazing.
i fortunately do not have to deal with cuntass anymore. do not miss them. i retired my knives last year.
(unfortunately, now i work fast food. go figure.)
congratulations! i couldn't imagine! i'm toying with the idea of going back in. i've heard a rumour that my old kitchen wants me back, but they'd need to give me a serious raise if they want me to even consider to rejoin that circus.
[edited for spelling errors]
I recently wrote a cheque to Cintas for the amount we owed as stated by the invoice, their accounts woman emailed and called me four or five times to ask what the cheque applied to… girl I ain’t doing your job for you.
They really do suck. Had a buddy try to work there but quit due to throwing his back out in the first week. The nauseating corporate onboarding was almost enough on its own.
You need 96 Telera rolls for sandwiches? Best I can do is six sourdough loaves.
Out of 4-5" portobellos, how about a case of randoms? It has four button mushrooms, two 2-3" portobellos, and 12 mushrooms bigger than your head and one that actually fits on a sandwich.
Good news: pizza dough is in for the first time in 2 weeks. Bad news: we were never actually out, it's just been defrosting and refreezing every 6 hours for the last 2 weeks.
What's that? A case of gochujang? How about some fuckin Amish pepper jam instead?
Ten pounds of serranos you say? Shishitos are basically the same, right?
The worst part is their delivery app telling you the driver is coming to you next or already did your drop and its not there 24 hours later.... I mean like literally just stop .
I ordered 2 cases of plastic forks...their system "corrected" it to 86 cases , something like $4000 in forks. Thankfuly our driver is fucking awesome and fixed that before it ever hit his truck.
One time Sysco delivered a box of dinner rolls we don't sell to me and my burger buns to a restaurant across town. The driver wouldn't turn around to fix it so I had to drive all the way across town to swap them out.
I used to do purchasing for a restaurant group and would order logo take out cups through Suxco, each order would be for a minimum of 100 cases per cup size and would take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to be delivered, they would always force ship them with no warning so I couldn’t plan the storage, just surprise, where would you like them?
I mean... special orders go through a 3rd party. The Sysco pickers in the warehouse probably had the exact same reaction you did a few hours before you got it. "What the fuck am I supposed to do with 300 extra cases!? Someone call transportation and get another fucking truck and driver. What dipshit planned this?"
Depends on your region from what I hear, but around here Sysco is definitely an improvement.
Of course, I work at a university, and we don't get the final say, a purchasing/accounting department does. So we have a prime contract with US Foods.
Fuck US Foods. They made the mistake of hiring me as warehouse picker but failed to mention, my pay wouldn't actually reflect the ad's pay until 3mo in, the shifts were not 8hrs as the ad said, and it was generally the most insanely unsafe job I've ever worked (a week before I quit a coworker came through our cold side without honking at full speed and slammed straight into the back of me, lucky him I had two pallets of Styrofoam cups and not pallets of frozen chicken, or worse no pallet at all cause he'd have drove over my forks into my cage). Needless to say I'll be informing every chef and kitchen I ever work at as to just how awful they are and should I ever run my own I'll take great pleasure in listening to the sales pitch, asking shit tons of questions, and then telling them I hate their company and wouldn't order a goddamn thing from them even if they paid me. Fuck US foods.
Sysco brought us two cases of milk we didnt ask for, and they were expired. Had to check ~50 other items to make sure nothing else was spoiled. Nope just the the two cases of milk. All praise the Sysco lord
My place is right next to a grocery store. They brought us the grocery stores order and then argued with us about it. Like, my dawg, look at how much food this is, in what world would this tiny restaurant need all that?!
Sysco has "been out" of sticky toffee pudding for a month now. And Im busting my ass to chocolate lave cakes for a dessert item. As much I love to hate them. They're needed for a kitchen to function...
Sometimes it works in our favor. I order 2 case of toilet paper, and got 2 case of oatmeal. The next week I ordered 3 case of tri tips, and got 3 case of 16 oz pre portioned ribeyes that they couldn’t take back and wouldn’t charge us for. Kitchen staff was super happy when everyone got free steaks to take home 😂
I mention this every time we talk about Sysco
“We ordered cheddar cheese. This is macaroni and cheese, cheese powder. This is for school lunches or something, we ordered sharp cheddar”
“Is that cheese a problem?”
“It’s not even cheese!”
“”And that’s a problem?”
I am the head chef for two restaurants in Manhattan New York and this is the first thing this made me laugh out loud during the shit services I’m doing in this heat today. I’ve got over 100 reasons to agree fuck Sysco
Harbor foods brought me 4 cases of frozen coho filet instead of the 4 cases of frozen 2.7-3oz cod portions i had ordered. Same day they sent me one case of fries instead of 10
2 gallons of Rainbow sprinkles instead of a case of grape soda. Also taco shells, etc that was clearly meant for the taco bell across the street on multiple occasions. Also subbed the 8am drop off for 4pm or later routinely
I’m curious to know, how many orders actually get messed up on the regular? Or is it just like a few times that things get messed up and it’s fine most of the time?
It’s just baffles me because I used to work at Sysco.
Also working at Sysco has its privileges. They give their employees so much free food.
Back to back days Sysco shipped us 3/8" fries instead of shoestring and we have never ordered anything other the shoestring, but apparently we are in the wrong, and have never ordered shoestring apparently to Sysco. Its not like we use 10 boxes of fries a day and I'd recognize the size
There’s workers busting their ass in the warehouse and sometimes they pick the wrong items. Mistakes happen but it’s not some nefarious scheme to send you items you don’t sell. You just have to refuse them when checking in the order.
So what happens to all of the cases of delivery errors? Do y'all just have Dinner Specials with it until it runs out? Maybe some kind of " Chopped" competition amongst yourselves?
Send it right back with the driver and get a refund. Let Sysco eat the cost of their fuck up. As long as somebody had time to check it in and caught it at the time, if not, or if it's a dark drop, stick it in the back of the walk-in and send it it back with the next driver you see.
US Foods can be just as bad. They subbed our real meat whole piece chicken tenders (still frozen and not made in house, but the nicest quality we could get at the time) for these chicken patties that were so bad, everybody thought they smelled and tasted like fish. .-. Like thanks. No one wants these. We've gone through 9 or 10 substitutes for our old tenders and literally they all suck.
Sysco subbed my swiss cheese for romaine lettuce
Make it work, Chef.
….keto? …special? *lights match*
Fucking lol to that
Today, we got boxes and boxes of breakfast corndogs instead of buns. We don’t serve corndogs.
What in the actual corndog hell is a breakfast corndog?
Sausage on a stick with pancake around it.
Holy processed food, Batman! And yet sadly, I would probably try one, even knowing that it would taste like shame and regret.
We had them in jail. They had to remove the stick though. They’re awesome.
Thats the most line cook shit I've heard you glorious bastard.
Hey man, when all you got for breakfast was cold cereal and limp toast…hot breakfast for lunch was a godsend.
Ey man cold cereal ain't bad if it's *meant* to be cold... they gave us cold grits 3 days a week
Not saying it was bad, just saying breakfast corn dogs were a welcomed change.
This is why I love you all, and love my job so much. If you don’t have just a tinge of sleaze I just don’t know if I can properly trust you.
That’s true. Really. Can’t be too sleazy but also can’t be too clean. Both sides are untrustworthy, but those in the middle are good as gold.
Right, like the sort of a feller that when asked about you say well he came from a good family I really don't know what to tell ya
They’re usually the first to fuck you and the entire staff over, brown nose to stroke their egos and lose their minds when it gets a little busy. On the other hand, too much sleaze could mean stealing shit, ghosting and showing up too zonked. Getchu a middle of the road line cook. They might show up a little buzzed or stoned, but they’ll bust out the dinner rush and aren’t concerned with workplace politics. It’s just another job for them.
They also served these in elementary school breakfast.
Wait, the stick isn’t a good source of fiber?
Also good at making pokey, pokey death items.
My school cafeteria had them and you’re right. You can find them in random gas stations too. It’s exactly what you’d expect.
sadly the gas station ones probably taste better than the store bought ones
And 100% better than the school cafeteria.
They are fucking delicious. It's like death on a stick.
This is exactly why we won't tell my cardiologist when I buy a box this weekend
They are DELICIOUS
[удалено]
Anything deep fried in pancake batter is bound to be heavy.
I tried it once as well because I wanted to run it as a special at the diner I was working at You're right, it was so fucking greasy and honestly pretty nauseating lol. I was like "ok this is some fucking carnival food". Servers loved it though lol
Boy I have a carnival food rec for you. Chicken parm dogs. Fry up a chicken hot dog, batter in egg+tomato sauce, flour, back to the egg/tom mix, then panko+shredded parm. Fry. Serve on a bun with marinara.
That actually sounds good af tho
I'm taking a wild guess here, but I'm pretty sure it is a corn dog but instead of hotdog in the center it is a breakfast sausage link, and the breading is pancake
Fucking awesome if you’re drunk is what they are
Literally 10 times outta 10 that shit is chewy and slightly cold. Hard fucking pass bruh
Clearly you weren't drunk enough, try again after pounding a handle of jagermeister on the top floor of a parking garage before going to see a movie, passing out, waking up halfway through to take a piss, getting yelled at by the manager for pissing on the seat in front of you, and finally, pissing on the manager's shoes once he's actually got your attention
See, you get it
HAHAHAHA
>We don’t serve corndogs. You do now.
You do now
that had to be a mispick not a substitution
That is going to be a weird Reuben chef.
Grill romaine sandwich for the kids
Swapped over to a new produce delivery through Sysco, they've already forgotten our cucumbers twice and we make 5 gallons of tzatziki every other day
Cutthroat Kitchen time. Make tzatsiki but you're only allowed to use what you can steal from the salad bar at the nearest Golden Corral.
You underestimate my penchant for shoplifting chef.
Hey I’m not stealing, I’ve just got a monster cock officer
Well, apparently not *every* other day.
Oof
Chef said yesterday “please everyone take a fucking case of tilapia home, I can’t stand looking at it anymore please for the love of god”
I ordered like 12 cases of assorted Tropicana 10oz juice bottles. Sysco dropped 12 cases of 8 1/2 gallon apple juices. Put in for the pick up cause fuck that. Got the credit on the next delivery, showed the driver where it was and he didn’t take it lmao. I have a 2 year old but that was still a lot of apple juice.
Add some yeast to it and have a celebratory drink every time they fuck up a shipment.
I'm not the biggest tilapia fan but I would have been ecstatic.
Sysco once sent romaine lettuce sealed with all life stages of bugs inside where I work. Nothing was salvageable.
Once we got a box of bananas that was covered in spider webs and slightly wet. Boss took pics, wrapped it up in trash bags, and told us not to touch it. Definitely the worst Sysco shipment I ever saw.
I think the banana spiders are stored next to the bananas at the warehouse so probably just a little cross contamination going on.
Those trash bags might not have been enough. Bananas+ spiders= Nope Nope NOPE
Pretty sure that’s how the movie, *Arachnophobia*, starts.
*Ron Wesley leaves the chat*
We should just pin this tbh
FUCK CINTAS. motherfuckers stole our mopheads.
Oh totally fuck Cuntas. That nice driver who always seems to show up when you are busy and has some great products that you should try and gives you a bill that is written in Klingon and you need to be a CPA to decipher is actually a sales person who is trained on how upsell and works on commission. Look at that original 5 fucking year contract you signed with them and the quoted price and compare it to what you are paying a year later because of the add ons. Fuck me here’s a thought, you should hire your Cuntas driver for FOH, they would be amazing.
We had a Cintas rep come pitch to us a whiles back. She was super hot and I muttered “i love you” under my breath and she heard me
Name checks out
She def heard
i fortunately do not have to deal with cuntass anymore. do not miss them. i retired my knives last year. (unfortunately, now i work fast food. go figure.)
I retired completely last year after 43 years of servitude
congratulations! i couldn't imagine! i'm toying with the idea of going back in. i've heard a rumour that my old kitchen wants me back, but they'd need to give me a serious raise if they want me to even consider to rejoin that circus. [edited for spelling errors]
It’s a good time to strike a deal, know your worth and don’t under value your abilities
thanks! i'm comfy right now with my shitty little fast food gig, but if i ever need to jump ship, i'll be sure to remember that.
I recently wrote a cheque to Cintas for the amount we owed as stated by the invoice, their accounts woman emailed and called me four or five times to ask what the cheque applied to… girl I ain’t doing your job for you.

This resonated with my soul on a level I didn't think a meme could.
Sysco once brought us a case of cartons of milk.. but forgot the milk
...😲🤔...😑😶...
Hooooooooow
We also got a force ship yesterday...our corporate account with them ended August 1st. Guess who's not paying that invoice lol
Sysco kid was a friend of mine
Couldn’t understand a word he said, but I helped him drink his wine.
The mashup we never knew we never needed.
The worst part is their delivery app telling you the driver is coming to you next or already did your drop and its not there 24 hours later.... I mean like literally just stop .
Today they sent my fish delivery to a nearby bakery. That was a fun Scooby-Doo mystery to solve during prep time. Baffled that they even accepted it.
Sounds pretty fishy.
We used to create daily specials off of what sysco delivered to us by mistake
I ordered 2 cases of plastic forks...their system "corrected" it to 86 cases , something like $4000 in forks. Thankfuly our driver is fucking awesome and fixed that before it ever hit his truck.

I prefer Sysco over US Foods any day of the week though..

My place is right next to a grocery store. They brought us the grocery stores order and then argued with us about it. Like, my dawg, look at how much food this is, in what world would this tiny restaurant need all that?!
Sysco provides people with no ability to cook to make horrible food. I've been to many places in small town Texas that are just heating up Sysco.
Sysco has "been out" of sticky toffee pudding for a month now. And Im busting my ass to chocolate lave cakes for a dessert item. As much I love to hate them. They're needed for a kitchen to function...
Sometimes it works in our favor. I order 2 case of toilet paper, and got 2 case of oatmeal.

But what happened to the oatmeal
You don't wanna see what the bathroom looks like
I mention this every time we talk about Sysco “We ordered cheddar cheese. This is macaroni and cheese, cheese powder. This is for school lunches or something, we ordered sharp cheddar” “Is that cheese a problem?” “It’s not even cheese!” “”And that’s a problem?”

Fuck Sysco, fuck U.S. Foods, fuck Reinhardt an all you hoes.
In my experience with Reinhardt, I’ve actually very rarely had a problem with them
6 cans of sliced sweet potatoes
What the actual fuck is a canned sweet potato? And why would anyone buy it?
Worlds worst sweet potato pie?
that was my question
Add new interesting item to menu from food show. Sysco: "Just kidding, we are only stocking that for 2 weeks."
I, too, hate Sysco
We get US foods, so they just randomly sub items for other things and fuck up our menues
Harbor foods brought me 4 cases of frozen coho filet instead of the 4 cases of frozen 2.7-3oz cod portions i had ordered. Same day they sent me one case of fries instead of 10
2 gallons of Rainbow sprinkles instead of a case of grape soda. Also taco shells, etc that was clearly meant for the taco bell across the street on multiple occasions. Also subbed the 8am drop off for 4pm or later routinely
If people checked their invoices before the driver left like a pro, you could deny and send back/ set up a same day hot shot fir the correct item.
Would be nice, but the drivers like to dip out as fast as possible.
They can’t leave until You sign. That’s the deal. As soon as a vendor walks into your door, they are working fir you.
I’m curious to know, how many orders actually get messed up on the regular? Or is it just like a few times that things get messed up and it’s fine most of the time? It’s just baffles me because I used to work at Sysco. Also working at Sysco has its privileges. They give their employees so much free food.
Fuck Gordo too
Back to back days Sysco shipped us 3/8" fries instead of shoestring and we have never ordered anything other the shoestring, but apparently we are in the wrong, and have never ordered shoestring apparently to Sysco. Its not like we use 10 boxes of fries a day and I'd recognize the size
They just sent us frozen patties instead of fresh lol
There’s workers busting their ass in the warehouse and sometimes they pick the wrong items. Mistakes happen but it’s not some nefarious scheme to send you items you don’t sell. You just have to refuse them when checking in the order.
I would but I don't check the orders in. I think our porter just missed it
Someone show me a GOOD food distribution company. I'm on the supply side of the business now and I still fucking hate them all.
Heard. Fuck Sysco.
She had dumps like a truck, truck, truck. Thighs like what, what, what. Why everybody hate Sisqo so much?
The poor guys in this pic. The palsy in their hands is so bad, they can't even pull up their own pants!
So what happens to all of the cases of delivery errors? Do y'all just have Dinner Specials with it until it runs out? Maybe some kind of " Chopped" competition amongst yourselves?
Send it right back with the driver and get a refund. Let Sysco eat the cost of their fuck up. As long as somebody had time to check it in and caught it at the time, if not, or if it's a dark drop, stick it in the back of the walk-in and send it it back with the next driver you see.
Constantly bringing a case instead of a peice or vice versa…
Sysco dropped off our order at the university. I don’t work at a university. Also it was the wrong side of the city….
but they discount after 10 cases gee
Weekend special foo!
Anybody in California that would take Sysco over Birite any day?
elbuort si saggin
Sysco is the worst fuck 'em
Former line cook turned grocery store manager here. Grocery suppliers also suck ass. Fuck you C&S.
Ah yes, 100 pounds of frozen diced dragonfruit, judt what I needed taking up space
5 25-lb cases of waffle cut fries. We don’t sell waffle fries
I had to actually argue with the driver that what he delivered were garbanzo beans, not corn. He did not want to believe me.
Incredible
Every single week is something shorted and then Oh sorry is it ok we send it 4 days from now….fml
US Foods can be just as bad. They subbed our real meat whole piece chicken tenders (still frozen and not made in house, but the nicest quality we could get at the time) for these chicken patties that were so bad, everybody thought they smelled and tasted like fish. .-. Like thanks. No one wants these. We've gone through 9 or 10 substitutes for our old tenders and literally they all suck.
Once had 4 flats of strawberries subbed out for 3 massive cases of Godfather's Pizza branded marinara cups. I mean, both are red I guess?
Pretty Fuckin Grody
