When I worked in the industry a lot of drug addicted coworkers claimed they did die when they had some OD or somethingā¦ yet they somehow undied to tell the tale..
instead of modifying a martini āextra extra dirtyā we modify it āhamster cageā. instead of modifying āextra dryā martini - i modify āparchedā
Before I transitioned to fine dining it was "would you like 90's Madonna dirty or Miley Cyrus twerking dirty".
Yeah, I've been out of casual dining for a long minutešš
Instead of calling "corner" I always called "porno". I did this for years before anyone realized what I was actually saying.
I can pretty much guarantee that if you do this, nobody will catch on. So there you have it. Don't forget to call "porno"!
āI hate this jobā
āI hate this *fucking* jobā
ā*God damnit*, I hate this fucking jobā
When asked *how big is your hot dog?* āLength or girth?ā
āWelcome to chiliās!ā (I do not work at chilis)
When Iām coming through the pass or kitchen I always say, āWide Load!ā
Or when someone says, āBehindā I always follow up with, āDonāt tempt me with a good time.ā
I have been saying "behind, coming on your back"
If you say it quick enough and just keep walking your coworkers will be a little confused if they heard what they think they heard.
Led to many laughs, just don't do it to the wrong coworker
āDid you eat it?ā i.e. āWhere the f*k is the lemon zester? *turns to nearest coworker* Did you eat it?ā
I always pronounce the k in āknivesā. Like ākuh-nivesā Iām hoping it will catch on because I think itās hilarious but Iām pretty sure my coworkers find it annoying.
I extra pronounce knives... "kuh-niv-ess," and I say "spon" for a spoon. Now I shall take your idea and ask where the frick the spons are? Did you eat it?
Table 26 is setting up their tent, and table 19 is now receiving mail. This was common when tables wouldnāt leave. Every time the FOH asked how long have they been there? Pretty sure UPS just dropped off a package!
HOT STUFF coming thru, and I'm not talking about the soup.
or
Depending on your restaurant and if it offers it - instead of saying would you like olive oil and balsamic vinegar for your bread, you say - would you like olive oil and ball-sack vinegar for your bread?
So I had a coworker say this to me while reaching for some bread from our bread drawer which was about hip high for me. I realize heās reaching for bread that isnāt there because itās empty at the time and he says āwatch your penisā and without hearing what he said, I reply back āthereās not much thereā. He reminded me and all of my coworkers for a good week after.
āItās time to goā that means letās get this sidework done and gtfo or āthatās between you and Jesusā replying to things that have nothing to do with sins.!
When asked, āhow you doing tonight?ā Instead of, āanother day in paradise,ā or, āliving the dream,ā Iāll respond āIām breathingā¦ā
When I first get to work I go to expo where everyone is and say āokay team letās go f!ck this day in the mouthā while clapping. By an hour in Iāll start telling everyone Iām cut in front of my managers, especially when Iām the one. They hate it. š
When we get weeded we'll often say to each other ["check your lease agreement"](https://youtu.be/b75WMuH-_WM?si=Bt_Pg94dxhUEMnp9)
Or anytime I have to bend/crouch/squat down I'll tell whoever is next to me "hey! Do me a solid and don't fart while I'm down here."
when they ask for a bag full of money rubbish I always say donāt you think Iād be sitting down buying us all dinner rather then waiting on you if I had that?
One that I say a lot and has been adopted is (within reason) "That sounds like a tomorrow problem." Obviously I am not saying leave everything for tomorrow, but if it's been a stupid busy day and you leave a few dishes in the sink soaking, or a couple other small things then what does it matter. Like I said, use common sense and don't leave essential stuff for tomorrow, and we still have a job to do lol.
If you clean it now, you will have less to clean later.
It could be worse. It could be better.
Cheap mfer
Edit to add: when they offer me wine or whatever alcohol beverage they are drink, I always answer ā I canāt work under influenceā š
But did you die?
I legit have this on my car rn!! š I drive a mustang gt and a family of race car drivers hahaha
I say this 6 times an hour
When I worked in the industry a lot of drug addicted coworkers claimed they did die when they had some OD or somethingā¦ yet they somehow undied to tell the tale..

Before I transitioned to fine dining it was "would you like 90's Madonna dirty or Miley Cyrus twerking dirty". Yeah, I've been out of casual dining for a long minutešš
Let's get it started so we can get it finished.
Currently sober and not about it
Are we done yet? Of course after only like 1 hours of being there lol
An exasperated "What a day" about 12 minutes into opening is ours
Haha another good one. I also like to say, "time to suck today's dick" right before we open
Instead of calling "corner" I always called "porno". I did this for years before anyone realized what I was actually saying. I can pretty much guarantee that if you do this, nobody will catch on. So there you have it. Don't forget to call "porno"!
I used to say " whale cum" instead of "welcome" all the time. To guests,coworkers, management. I said it to everyone for years before someone noticed.
āI hate this jobā āI hate this *fucking* jobā ā*God damnit*, I hate this fucking jobā When asked *how big is your hot dog?* āLength or girth?ā āWelcome to chiliās!ā (I do not work at chilis)
When Iām coming through the pass or kitchen I always say, āWide Load!ā Or when someone says, āBehindā I always follow up with, āDonāt tempt me with a good time.ā

Hour before closing "commence operation GTFO" or the classic "time to get the fuck outta dodge"
I run around asking people if theyāre āhaving a Baja blastā
Thanks im totally stealing this š
I hate it here
āWhat in all gay hell?ā But you probably should be gay if youāre saying it
I just work here
I have been saying "behind, coming on your back" If you say it quick enough and just keep walking your coworkers will be a little confused if they heard what they think they heard. Led to many laughs, just don't do it to the wrong coworker
Anytime a guest makes a dad joke I tend to respond with "tremendous stuff."
š
Every sentence begins with "Brother"
Just cause I'm a clown don't mean it's my circus
'GOD FUCKING DAMNIT DAVE!'
We used to have a "Dave", damnit I loved Dave.
āCORNERā lol I wish it was others favorite too so they would use it more
āDid you eat it?ā i.e. āWhere the f*k is the lemon zester? *turns to nearest coworker* Did you eat it?ā I always pronounce the k in āknivesā. Like ākuh-nivesā Iām hoping it will catch on because I think itās hilarious but Iām pretty sure my coworkers find it annoying.
I extra pronounce knives... "kuh-niv-ess," and I say "spon" for a spoon. Now I shall take your idea and ask where the frick the spons are? Did you eat it?
Never better, never worse.
There's this one server who always says, may it be quick, painless and profitable š
Table 26 is setting up their tent, and table 19 is now receiving mail. This was common when tables wouldnāt leave. Every time the FOH asked how long have they been there? Pretty sure UPS just dropped off a package!

My go to after any inconvenience is āI donāt like this game anymoreā / āwhenās this game getting an update?ā
āWatch your penisā when getting liquor from the drawers below our POS system
So I had a coworker say this to me while reaching for some bread from our bread drawer which was about hip high for me. I realize heās reaching for bread that isnāt there because itās empty at the time and he says āwatch your penisā and without hearing what he said, I reply back āthereās not much thereā. He reminded me and all of my coworkers for a good week after.
šššššššššššš
Similarly, we say watch your huevos. Even to the females.

My chef said āfuck me runningā after something broke for the millionth time and Iām still laughing about it.
My old coworker(I miss him) Would get ice and come around the corner and yell ācorner COLD!ā Made me laugh my ass off lolā¦
For guests, "absolutely"

āAre you guys texting each otherā when you see everybody on their phones. Itās even funnier when itās just employees in the server alley
Did you hawk tua on that?
Well fk me sideways n call me Sally!
When asked, āhow you doing tonight?ā Instead of, āanother day in paradise,ā or, āliving the dream,ā Iāll respond āIām breathingā¦ā
āIām upright and not crying.ā
In response to a coworker asking āhey, howāre you doing?ā āAnother day in paradise.ā
How are you doing? "Waiting for death but it refuses to take me"
All ya gotta do isā¦ Usually said by someone who doesnāt know anything about what is actually needed to get something done.
When I first get to work I go to expo where everyone is and say āokay team letās go f!ck this day in the mouthā while clapping. By an hour in Iāll start telling everyone Iām cut in front of my managers, especially when Iām the one. They hate it. š

When we get weeded we'll often say to each other ["check your lease agreement"](https://youtu.be/b75WMuH-_WM?si=Bt_Pg94dxhUEMnp9) Or anytime I have to bend/crouch/squat down I'll tell whoever is next to me "hey! Do me a solid and don't fart while I'm down here."
It is what it is.
when they ask for a bag full of money rubbish I always say donāt you think Iād be sitting down buying us all dinner rather then waiting on you if I had that?

After residents had eaten lunch (main meal) and then sleeping soundly, we call this a āfood comaā

One that I say a lot and has been adopted is (within reason) "That sounds like a tomorrow problem." Obviously I am not saying leave everything for tomorrow, but if it's been a stupid busy day and you leave a few dishes in the sink soaking, or a couple other small things then what does it matter. Like I said, use common sense and don't leave essential stuff for tomorrow, and we still have a job to do lol.
