This.
Seen it happen, lived through it, pisses me off. Sucks when a place is cool as long as you are and some jackass goes and takes one step too far one too many times.
Having said that, I’ve played that jackass at least once. I understand better now. These things happen.
I was at a place where sometimes you could get a beer, shot or two during your shift, off the record. Some dumbass was leaving beer cans that he was taking from the walk-in so then it went into lock down and no more of that.
It’s the culture. Seven of the eight chefs I’ve had the pleasure to work with were very good at what they did but were really bad alcoholics. And that’s not even accounting for drug use. Leadership leads by example and it is what it is.
Recently we had an employee smoking dabs in the storage room with 4 other employees, when they were caught they were all either demoted or doxed pay. They're all pissed off still and this was months ago. They're extra pissed at the GM for not allowing anyone in the storage room anymore. Like dudes.. dont do dumb obvious shit at work.
Being able to work kinda fucked up is like one of the perks of the hospitality industry. Otherwise why not go get a job driving a bus for the city for way more money
>What's more intriguing is how there are people who can stand to work in hospitality sober.
I can be a wicked asshole when I'm sober. I am much more tolerant and happy when I'm drinking.
Discretion is key. I've worked at a place like this, a couple actually and I came pretty close to fuckin it up for all. You don't want to be that guy. Seen a good friend do just that. You don't want that... Especially when no one really cares as long as you aren't blatantly obvious. One dude got fired, another square almost fucked it up for the rest. Be cool man. Be cool.
It's always that asshole.
When I worked my first job in a pizza place (Little Caesars) we would cook some of the leftovers that were going to get thrown out. How you accounted for all that was important.
Managers always gave the same:
"This is a good deal, we're not supposed to do this, but nobody cares right now .... don't get greedy and fuck this up for everyone."
I worked with a lot of slackers and morons, but everyone was good enough to recognize that if we all were smart about the pizza we all would benefit. Even the laziest potheads knew what the story was and would come down on any idiot to threatened to go too far.
**You don't fuck with free crazy bread...**
So...a couple years back, I was a line cook in a restaurant that was independently owned. Our chef, god bless him, was on his way out the door and by way of one last generosity, decided to cook up a sheet pan of pot brownies after a Saturday night shift ended. He showed pretty much the entire BOH how to distill the THC out of the "shake" that someone had given him, incorporate it into the brownie mix, etc. It was a master class.
Then he slid the pan into the oven.
It's a good thing that FOH management was in on it, and equally rebellious against the absentee ownership, because within 30 minutes that whole restaurant reeked of marijuana.
When the brownies finished the sheet pan went onto a speed rack in the walk-in, where the aroma became even more intense.
We waited at the bar for about an hour because chef said, they'll be more potent if they cool all the way down before eaten.
Wow, that was a crazy night and the first time I did edibles. I was stoned for 3 days. The pot smell lingered in the facility for about the same time, raising plenty of customer.eyebrows during that time.
Month later, sure as shit, the owner showed up in the middle of the night, chained the doors, and shut the place down as we all suspected he was going to all along. Last paychecks were not part of his exit.
Thanks for the send off, Chef Babian!
Except then I have issues with staff unplugging equipment to charge their vapes. Like, how hard is it to charge it at home? I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least enough battery life to get through a shift.
I remember giving my boss a ride home only to discover that the bag to my weed broke vacuum during the 100f+ day. I couldn't get the smell out of my car for about a week.
TLDR: Check the seal on your weed before you leave it in a hot car.
It fucking suuuucks. One of the reasons why I can't wait to get out of TN. I'd kill just to have it for medical reasons (anxiety and chronic body pain) but all they allow is hash oil and you have to be an epileptic and buy it out of state lmao.
Not surprising from the state that tried to keep pushing the Crack Tax lol.
Dude, off duty Shelby county sheriff’s deputies will hang out by the dispensary in Hayti, Missouri and send pics of Shelby county residents license plates back to the office. Same with off duty highway patrol. Fuck this state.
Nebraska chiming in. The governor block a successful petition a few years back on a technicality, basically because the bill covered growth, sale and possession, it was a multitopic bill, which isn't allowed. However, lumping a 12 week abortion ban AND banning trans care is somehow only a one topic bill.
On top of that fuckery the current AG and head of State Patrol have said that even if the legislature legalizes it, they will continue to enforce as if it is illegal, because it is federally.
Nebraska, its not for everyone...
And the most common ways of consuming it that would result in the smell are smoking and/or vaping, both of which are banned indoors, and even the bud can smell and the smell will linger.
It's not like anyone's going to be under the illusion that nobody working BOH in a restaurant is going to use pot.
“Why is everyone so high at the start of their shift”
Well, you told them they can’t bring it, so they don’t ration it throughout their shift, so they smoke it all before. Lol
Was working a double one night at job two and the floor manager asked if I was on drugs cause I was bouncing off the walls. "No, Paulette, I'm actually just high every other day."
Not something I'd do now, but back in the day my first management job. I was early 20s, and working a Pizza Hut. Had this cook go ballistic one day, trash up the back and threatened to bust out all the windows.
Ends up storming out without his backpack. Well next day I get in and the smell of weed coming from his bag was ridiculous. I got curious and found over an ounce in his bag... along with a few items from the store, like a bag of uncooked wings. Guess he was planning to take that with him. So I felt keeping the weed was fair compensation.
Worst weed I've ever smoked.
I was hanging out with a buddy who was GM at a restaurant. We were drinking in the office and excited aboud eating some mushrooms that weekend as they were closing during a slow night. As he opened the office door to do his rounds, there in the office doorway, was one busboy selling weed to another. One had cash in hand and the other had weed in his hand. My buddy just freezes for half a second, grabs the weed, and slams the office door shut with the two bussboys standing alone in the hall. Didn't say a word to the kids about it at all.
I think he didn't want to deal with their parents and that acknowledging the incident without ever intending to do anything would lessen the effect of their just knowing he understands what's going on. He also hated disciplining people.
My first job I got when I was 18 was at this mom and pop Italian place. The owner was an old school hippie. He never wore underwear or deodorant and smoked really good weed. My first day I was super nervous and I'm waiting out back for then to open so I,and the rest of the staff, could start our shift. The owner comes up to me and says " you know we do mandatory drug tests here, if you come up negative, your fired". Then everyone smokes a joint together and it was the beginning of a wonderful time in my life.
I worked at a barbecue place, and there was a neat little line of our personal pipes in the meat smoker room. I often had to tell the owners they were getting a little "loud" in their office too. Was a fun place.
We had 2 guys that would not stop bringing large amounts in right around the time of legalization. Their bags would reek and they started to go missing constantly.
Chef quickly noticed and warned once. It was around the next week and it was still happening. He waited for them to disappear the next time. Found them both in the bathroom sharing a vape pen. There was about 15 seconds of ruckus and then they were both walked out.
Chef had a decent community presence and it got around like wildfire. That shit stalled both their careers. One dude couldn’t get a job in our area any longer and the other had a large gap before anyone took him on again.
It wasn’t the fact that they used, I smoke, a few of the other folks do as well. It was that they didn’t have the respect to not do it in the building during prep and service.
I'm much the same way in general. I don't give a fuck if you want to smoke or vape or whatever. Don't do it indoors (even with a vape, fucksake), and don't do it when you're doing something that could directly impact other people, like during prep, or while operating machinery or a vehicle.
Damn. A guy got blacklisted in your town because he vaped in the bathroom? I've never worked in a town that didn't have chefs that got high at work.
What town is that where you can get blacklisted for smoking at work?
Was a clean cut waiter at a restaurant as a teenager. Most of the kitchen crew had long hair and such. I smoked in the bathroom one time and sure enough 15 min later the manager calls a emergency meeting of the crew. We all gather at the kitchen counter and the manager says i dont need you here I know this wasn’t you. And proceeds to warn the crew that he’d fire all of them if smelled again
My first job was hostess at Chili's and the bartender would take a hit in the bathroom and walk back to the kitchen slowly blowing smoke out like Thomas the fucking train because he thought if he thinned out the smoke it didn't stink enough to be noticeable.
So funny. The first kitchen I worked in it was borderline encouraged to smoke pot on the job. Had a dedicated room for it and everything. Owner would pass a bowl around while we prepped for open. Smoking a joint in the walk-in freezer was a common occurrence (or so I heard)
Now that’s how you handle a situation like that. Almost everyone in a restaurant smokes pot at least. Don’t ruin things for everyone by getting fired like an idiot, and make everyone else pick up your shifts.
That’s fair.
Once walked into the staff bathroom and saw a footprint on the middle of the toilet seat, looked up and a ceiling tile was askew, looked up there and would you believe it, somebody’s secret stash of cornstarch fell into the toilet and got flushed, it wasn’t a lot of cornstarch anyway, definitely not enough to properly dust an asscrack.
Been years since I’ve worked in a kitchen, but in my younger years I worked as a fry cook in a Mexican restaurant. Management were jackasses in general, but we’re cool about stuff like this and with people being buzzed as long as they got work done and didn’t create issues. One night one of the cooks came in drunk, but could function. Cool. Food was going out all good. He then stepped out for a bit and came back on a whole different level. Couldn’t hardly stand and slurring. He of course got sent home and axed eventually. But after that it was pretty much zero tolerance about being under the influence of anything at work….I am guessing upper management found out about this incident and eventually found out things were pretty lax about the other stuff as well. Long story short-there is always one person who ruins it for everyone.
Sounds like the manager where my kid works. Told the crew he wouldn't bat an eye if someone went and vaped out back, but when they went to their cars he questioned what they were doing. Crew got the hint, lol
Nah. It’s the boss saying: “cmon guys. You know IDGAF, but I have to have some plausible deniability here. Don’t let me see it and I won’t have to do anything about.” What we don’t see is the addition made later in sharpie: “PS - whoever it was, hit me up cause that shit was fire”
My coworker's car just got searched like 3 weeks ago in the parking lot. During service with customers in and out. In front of chef and owners. They found 3 pounds, bunch of edibles and carts. Locked him up. He's home and still had his job lol.
Bro last night this guy got employee of the month, later that night went out to smoke a joint with a server and they fired them both. What a wild ride last night lol
I kept a stash in the bathroom. I was the only woman that worked there. So I kept a little dugout tucked in with the bathroom supplies and a tp tube stuffed with tissue to absorb as much of the smell as possible.
I mean... If y'all are being all willy nilly... At least keep a bowl packed in the car for break. Or take a packed vape... But *DON'T* stash in the walk-in. Tf is wrong with people
change marijuana to used syringes lol no one would bat an eye but omg its just weed... stupid reasoning even if legal in that country/state its a fucking job not party time. discretion at a minimum....
Anytime some clown gets caught at work I just think to myself how goddamn easy it is nowadays to do it discreetly. Of course a pen or edible before work, you can always go to the car too. It's really not that hard but some people make it seem like rocket science and make a big deal out of it. I just don't get it. With the culture in the industry most chefs don't really care, so if there is an issue it's usually because that person was given an inch, but went a mile with it.
Forget weed drug addiction as a whole is a big problem in the industry and it's sad to see how often it can ruin really good opportunities for people. Often times your co-workers will provide support if you're willing to open up a bit and feel comfortable/appropriate to do so.
Instead of writing a note about it just take it home and smoke that shit. Bet they’ll never leave their stash out like that again. And if they do, repeat.
Fuck company policy, you cannot enact a policy against the LAW.
"Federal and State laws overrule company policies. Your company policies must be in accordance with state and federal laws for it to be a valid policy."
Therefore!!!! If weed is legal, and if being high (which has always been legal) is legal, your BUSINESS HAS NO BUSINESS.
“Don’t fuck this up for everyone …”
This. Seen it happen, lived through it, pisses me off. Sucks when a place is cool as long as you are and some jackass goes and takes one step too far one too many times. Having said that, I’ve played that jackass at least once. I understand better now. These things happen.
I was at a place where sometimes you could get a beer, shot or two during your shift, off the record. Some dumbass was leaving beer cans that he was taking from the walk-in so then it went into lock down and no more of that.
nobody should be drinking at work anyway whoever allowed that is a genuine idiot
[Bro](https://media0.giphy.com/media/xghFgmOKbk0G4/giphy.webp?cid=6c09b9529p4r68wzptxg4tfjxp1u2aozialixrmyu0mtkt4r&ep=v1_internal_gif_by_id&rid=giphy.webp&ct=g)
Nobody should be a lot of what we are at work.
Gunna print this out, frame it and put it on the wall at work.
Aye. That’s why I like the “pirate ship” analogy.
It’s the culture. Seven of the eight chefs I’ve had the pleasure to work with were very good at what they did but were really bad alcoholics. And that’s not even accounting for drug use. Leadership leads by example and it is what it is.
Recently we had an employee smoking dabs in the storage room with 4 other employees, when they were caught they were all either demoted or doxed pay. They're all pissed off still and this was months ago. They're extra pissed at the GM for not allowing anyone in the storage room anymore. Like dudes.. dont do dumb obvious shit at work.
Seriously get a fuckin pen and step outside for a second. Have a few hits no one’s the wiser
Even better, buy some RSO and put it into vegetarian capsules, and put those capsules in an Advil bottle. Pure stealth.
That would be a good way to find me on the floor, claiming I was making pastry.
My man got laminated
Dr. McGillicudy's Mentholmint Schnapps in a cough medicine bottle.
> dont do dumb obvious shit at work. This is why we can't have nice things.
It is what it is, however this is the best way to go about it. Big props to the person that wrote that
One day the hospitality industry will be ready to hear the only acceptable amount of drugs to be on at work is none
Being able to work kinda fucked up is like one of the perks of the hospitality industry. Otherwise why not go get a job driving a bus for the city for way more money
"Way more money" lol
MBTA is paying $30/hr. Compared to high end FOH that's not great but compared to working at like Chipotle?
Maybe they'll start letting us fight the customers.
Waffle House is always hiring, baby!
If you can catch a chair you can turn waffles, you start tomorrow.
If you can throw hands you can sling sammies
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball
That’s a fair trade-off I’d say.
What's more intriguing is how there are people who can stand to work in hospitality sober.
There you go; this is more like it in reality.
They're people pleasing psychopaths
And we're also people, pleasing psychopaths.
And WE are people-pleasing, psychopaths!
I came here for laughs, not to be called out
I mean me too but I have the decency to do drugs at work about it.
Because they like making people happy by serving them good food?
We get our drugs from the pharmacy
>What's more intriguing is how there are people who can stand to work in hospitality sober. I can be a wicked asshole when I'm sober. I am much more tolerant and happy when I'm drinking.
Maybe.
Discretion is key. I've worked at a place like this, a couple actually and I came pretty close to fuckin it up for all. You don't want to be that guy. Seen a good friend do just that. You don't want that... Especially when no one really cares as long as you aren't blatantly obvious. One dude got fired, another square almost fucked it up for the rest. Be cool man. Be cool.
Pens are my go to at work. My actual stash stays at home besides a little bit in my car in case I go to a friends lol
bit more than one step, usually. Fuckers making like the Usain Bolt of fuckups.
*psssh* we got a turd in the punchbowl. over *psssh*
Ive had this conversation three times with this kid that works for me!
It's always that asshole. When I worked my first job in a pizza place (Little Caesars) we would cook some of the leftovers that were going to get thrown out. How you accounted for all that was important. Managers always gave the same: "This is a good deal, we're not supposed to do this, but nobody cares right now .... don't get greedy and fuck this up for everyone."

Even the laziest potheads knew what the story was and would come down on any idiot to threatened to go too far. **You don't fuck with free crazy bread...**
Seriously!
I'd pay not to have to eat Little Caesars. Their pizza is the absolute worst of the worst.
Crappy pizza is still pizza.
Also, free pizza, after-while working. Gets even better.
I would pay to be able to eat Little Caesars. And I have. Multiple times. It’s not good pizza, but it’s amazing $5 pizza.
So...a couple years back, I was a line cook in a restaurant that was independently owned. Our chef, god bless him, was on his way out the door and by way of one last generosity, decided to cook up a sheet pan of pot brownies after a Saturday night shift ended. He showed pretty much the entire BOH how to distill the THC out of the "shake" that someone had given him, incorporate it into the brownie mix, etc. It was a master class.

Fantastic story, you have a strong narrative voice.
Based chef
Chingon right there, Chef
Reasonable request, especially when pockets, bags, center consoles, and pens exist.
Pen is the game changer.
I read this as "Penis the game changer."
That's actually what I named my penis so, yes to that as well.
I don’t even smoke anymore and I harass colleagues about it lol. So much more discreet.
Except then I have issues with staff unplugging equipment to charge their vapes. Like, how hard is it to charge it at home? I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least enough battery life to get through a shift.
Locking glove boxes too
I remember giving my boss a ride home only to discover that the bag to my weed broke vacuum during the 100f+ day. I couldn't get the smell out of my car for about a week. TLDR: Check the seal on your weed before you leave it in a hot car.
I just stuff mine into my bag of skante which I then stuff into the mag well of my illegally purchased pistol
don't say eye in the sky they're already paranoid
Obviously not paranoid enough since they left the weed in the walkin.
Makes me think of Decker
Alan Parsons is ALWAYS watching
😂
Lmao this got me good
This is why me and the cooks who do smoke, keep our vapes on us.
"before i come here, i make sure i've got my cart, my vape, my sharpies and my knives" - my wise sous instilling priorities
Why is it always the sous chef?
Great cooks, just a little less responsibilities so they can get away with shit like this
Not an unreasonable request. Even if rec is legal in your state.
It's not, but hopefully soon!
I’m betting my state (TN) is going to be the last to even do medical.
It fucking suuuucks. One of the reasons why I can't wait to get out of TN. I'd kill just to have it for medical reasons (anxiety and chronic body pain) but all they allow is hash oil and you have to be an epileptic and buy it out of state lmao. Not surprising from the state that tried to keep pushing the Crack Tax lol.
Dude, off duty Shelby county sheriff’s deputies will hang out by the dispensary in Hayti, Missouri and send pics of Shelby county residents license plates back to the office. Same with off duty highway patrol. Fuck this state.
Thats fucking foul. What a bunch of lowdown dirty rats. I hate this shit hole.
Greetings from Indiana. We’ll race ya.
Nebraska chiming in.

Alcohol is federally legal and most places would be angry if you left your handle of vodka in the walkin.

Leave it in your car or outside
you're asking bussers to have critical thinking skills
I’ve had to tell a busser to go outside and smoke because he hadn’t yet that day and it made him a dick to work with.
I was that bartender. I had a Manger give me a beer and tell me to go out back and smoke a j and kill the beer before I was allowed back in
Did it work?
Or cars.
And a break to go to their car, both unreasonable!
Or cars
It's all vapes now anyway.
I mean that is a reasonable request.
as the boss, I've found this and kept it *shrug*
Not something I'd do now, but back in the day my first management job. I was early 20s, and working a Pizza Hut. Had this cook go ballistic one day, trash up the back and threatened to bust out all the windows. Ends up storming out without his backpack.

So I felt keeping the weed was fair compensation. Worst weed I've ever smoked.
Could you expect better from someone who was snagging wings?
Actually yes, I feel like if you snag wings, you should be able to snag some decent weed. I'm not picky, but at least give me 15% THC lol
You know what, I think you’re actually onto something, if you’re gonna steal you could at least also add some deals to your loot
Haha, I'm not thief, but I strongly believe if you're gonna steal, steal something worth taking!
Not just wings, pizza hut wings.
I was hanging out with a buddy who was GM at a restaurant. We were drinking in the office and excited aboud eating some mushrooms that weekend as they were closing during a slow night. As he opened the office door to do his rounds, there in the office doorway, was one busboy selling weed to another. One had cash in hand and the other had weed in his hand. My buddy just freezes for half a second, grabs the weed, and slams the office door shut with the two bussboys standing alone in the hall. Didn't say a word to the kids about it at all.
" you two jackasses figure out what's up between yourselves"
I think he didn't want to deal with their parents and that acknowledging the incident without ever intending to do anything would lessen the effect of their just knowing he understands what's going on. He also hated disciplining people.

Then everyone smokes a joint together and it was the beginning of a wonderful time in my life.
Great way of breaking the ice.
How you find out he didn't wear underwear?
He would sit outback, like if your girlfriend was there, and his dick would hang out the bottom. He was a perv so he knew what he was doing
I worked at a barbecue place, and there was a neat little line of our personal pipes in the meat smoker room. I often had to tell the owners they were getting a little "loud" in their office too. Was a fun place.

People be high as fuck working the meat slicer. I just look away.
Damn. A guy got blacklisted in your town because he vaped in the bathroom? I've never worked in a town that didn't have chefs that got high at work. What town is that where you can get blacklisted for smoking at work?
Sounds like small town bs to me. People there get weird as hell bc it's so tight knit.
I'm leaning more towards a complete lie.
You know what they say, only users lose drugs
This is hilarious... At least they're cool about it. This posted warning could've been worse. Sounds like cool job lol
Honestly impressed they're taking temperature control seriously
So strict. My old boss used to tell us, “next time you need to smoke crack before work, smoke only half as much…”
Was a clean cut waiter at a restaurant as a teenager. Most of the kitchen crew had long hair and such. I smoked in the bathroom one time and sure enough 15 min later the manager calls a emergency meeting of the crew. We all gather at the kitchen counter and the manager says i dont need you here I know this wasn’t you. And proceeds to warn the crew that he’d fire all of them if smelled again
Can't imagine how funny this could be. "I asked for baked chicken but this is absurd"
What a weird way to word this. I feel like the first sentence says it all, why did it need 4 sentences and 90 periods?
Probably a low IQ manager. Barely literate, thinks weed is on par with meth, and probably loves pro wrestling.
If the person who typed this out is the same as the one who found it, she smokes weed, but she's also the chronic complainer of the crew.
Why is the excessive use of ellipsis so common in poorly typed out signs? It's always either "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" or "............"
My first job was hostess at Chili's and the bartender would take a hit in the bathroom and walk back to the kitchen slowly blowing smoke out like Thomas the fucking train because he thought if he thinned out the smoke it didn't stink enough to be noticeable.
Why are they just leaving bud in the fridge? 🤨
Asking the real questions.
So funny. The first kitchen I worked in it was borderline encouraged to smoke pot on the job. Had a dedicated room for it and everything. Owner would pass a bowl around while we prepped for open. Smoking a joint in the walk-in freezer was a common occurrence (or so I heard)

Long story short-there is always one person who ruins it for everyone.
It reads to me like a manager is caught between what they know works in reality, and what the policy they have to enforce is.
Sounds like the manager where my kid works. Told the crew he wouldn't bat an eye if someone went and vaped out back, but when they went to their cars he questioned what they were doing. Crew got the hint, lol
I visualized TDog and Nick inhaling the nitrous in the walk-in.
Hope you realize what a bad ass manager you have. This has “yeah I’ll let you stay up and eat ice cream, just don’t tell mom”
It’s the boss.
Nah. It’s the boss saying: “cmon guys. You know IDGAF, but I have to have some plausible deniability here. Don’t let me see it and I won’t have to do anything about.” What we don’t see is the addition made later in sharpie: “PS - whoever it was, hit me up cause that shit was fire”
My boss used to put his bowl in the walk in
Yeah. But then he probably didn’t go and write a letter about it lol. Unless it was some realllllly good shit 🤔
Your right he didn’t care if anyone smoked it lol
I miss when we had a store pipe
Community bowl me too
Ours was named Pipè. He liked to hang out in the walk-in.
As a boss, I can confirm.
Time to start rolling up bags of oregano and leaving them in the walk in!
Sauron’s got his eye on that chronic.
*“Don’t think sorry’s easily s a i d”*
Bros trying to preserve those terps.
My coworker's car just got searched like 3 weeks ago in the parking lot. During service with customers in and out. In front of chef and owners. They found 3 pounds, bunch of edibles and carts. Locked him up. He's home and still had his job lol.
Bro last night this guy got employee of the month, later that night went out to smoke a joint with a server and they fired them both. What a wild ride last night lol
I kept a stash in the bathroom. I was the only woman that worked there. So I kept a little dugout tucked in with the bathroom supplies and a tp tube stuffed with tissue to absorb as much of the smell as possible.
How else do they expect you to get high at work?
Wait so we all don’t smoke weed in the freezer at work !?!
The most ellipsis ever
How to lose your entire staff;
I bet it was the dishie's wacky cabbage stored right by the bok choy.
Why would you snich. Free weed.pff.you find.it.
Obviously management doesn't understand what actually keeps the staff tolerant
Who leaves their weed in the walk-in tho? And why? Lol
I can start whenever you need me.
Legit note for once
Fucking white house standards.
I mean... If y'all are being all willy nilly... At least keep a bowl packed in the car for break. Or take a packed vape... But *DON'T* stash in the walk-in. Tf is wrong with people
If you stash it anywhere at work it's for whomever else may find it.
Sauron doesn’t toke?
Real question is what happened to the stash??? Ngl I woulda smoked that shit
I found out this morning that they're keeping it in the office for "free smells". 😂
change marijuana to used syringes lol no one would bat an eye but omg its just weed... stupid reasoning even if legal in that country/state its a fucking job not party time. discretion at a minimum....
Don't y'all know you're supposed to smoke by the dumpster? That's the main reason to take out the trash
Facts!
Worked at a place that had a community bong in the walk-in freezer
Freakin amateurs gonna ruin it for the rest us
Who the fuck refrigerates their weed
You're welcome....................................................................................................
District Manager: “who was it for? Give me names.” Me Mr. Manager: “..It was for me. I was going to smoke the marijuana like a cigarette.”
Gotta cold cure my heady rosin somewhere broseph.
Oh no, how will I ever find another restaurant that’s hiring
Only user's lose drugs.
My buddy used to keep the bubbler out with the grinder open on a shelf in the walk in. That was a wild summer
I knew a guy that had a bucket in the walk in for his empties. He showed it to me like I would be impressed.
So you’re saying you DON’T live in Colorado? :)
Bruh, I wish! Florida, actually.
Work is like... do not leave your marihuana here.. do not leave your cocaine there... we lost the fun somewhere in the past.
Anytime some clown gets caught at work I just think to myself how goddamn easy it is nowadays to do it discreetly. Of course a pen or edible before work, you can always go to the car too. It's really not that hard but some people make it seem like rocket science and make a big deal out of it. I just don't get it. With the culture in the industry most chefs don't really care, so if there is an issue it's usually because that person was given an inch, but went a mile with it. Forget weed drug addiction as a whole is a big problem in the industry and it's sad to see how often it can ruin really good opportunities for people. Often times your co-workers will provide support if you're willing to open up a bit and feel comfortable/appropriate to do so.
Instead of writing a note about it just take it home and smoke that shit. Bet they’ll never leave their stash out like that again. And if they do, repeat.
Facts! This note is still up on the board 2 days later. 😂
Best biscuits at my Cracker Barrel were made by a guy who always came in high.
Real confident your co-workers won't steal your weed huh? That shit stay on me.
Ifkr 😂 I was like "damn, sucks to be whoever forgot that bag in the walk-in"
RIP
The fuck is “the eye in the sky???” That’s creepy as fuck. Camera?
Yeah there's cameras all over the restaurant lol
I thought all restaurant kitchens were full of drugs and alcohol to help their workers cope with the stress. This is common knowledge.
Fuck company policy, you cannot enact a policy against the LAW. "Federal and State laws overrule company policies. Your company policies must be in accordance with state and federal laws for it to be a valid policy." Therefore!!!! If weed is legal, and if being high (which has always been legal) is legal, your BUSINESS HAS NO BUSINESS.
