Working in Foodservice

[CaptainMappy]

How many of you guys have worked/currently work in foodservice? It doesn't matter if you're kitchen staff, a waiter, a manager, or even a busser: I want to hear what you all have to say. Horror stories, cool stories, shitty coworkers, retarded customers, whatever - it's what this thread is for.

I recently got a job at a catering place and they are keeping me around (for some reason).
One story for now:
Every Wednesday there is this dish made (I forget exactly what it is ) that creates the most acrid smoke ever. The side effects range from uncontrollable coughing in one coworker to me feeling it in the lungs and sneezing every five seconds. I swear it's some experiment in riot control gas.

(@BOLDYSPICY! , this was the foodservice thread I mentioned on stream)
That dish that required the hot peppers was Chicken Murphy. Apparently the reason it's made (beside people eating it) is so the "head chef" can get this other person in the kitchen to shut the fuck up (spoilers it fails most of the time). As I said before it's usually on Wed that the peppers are cooked. This past Friday the head chef (Dagay) the annoying coworker (REE) to shut the fuck up at the start of the day. While REE was in the office and not working, Dagay cooks up a small batch of peppers for the gas. Instead of leaving it on the stove, he takes the pot and runs around the kitchen like a Eucharist guy on crack.

Don't you just love when the delivery people show up so late in the work day you can't go home until they show up?
