That story deserves a round of applause. You told it beautifully. The writing didn't feel rushed, but I felt the rising tension and frantic effort behind the words. What a cool experience!
I worked a much less stressful restaurant a long time ago as a kind of combo line/sous/prep guy but the fundamental challenge of having to work to whatever happens—however many people come in, what you have to do if there’s less of something than you thought, etc. is both incredibly interesting and something I ultimately decided I absolutely did not want to be doing my whole life. Loved it, didn’t want it.
Working in a restaurant should be a prerequisite for all SF Tech and Brooklyn media jobs.
Lol hell yeah
yessss. love this.
living a life well lived>
I loved this, what a ride

Beautifully written. I loved reading this!
Thank you for sharing.
I am harboring dreams of retiring from city government and working as a prep cook, so I related to this so much.
Ah, so happy to hear it! If you have questions or anything, DM me.
I need that pension to vest first 😅
Really great piece. Thanks.

Thanks so much! I’ve told friends I’d love to pop in and help them open a new thing, but otherwise it’s definitely not for me long-term either.
So good. Felt like I was in there with you
You told the story well I got anxiety flashbacks to boot camp; the last time I had to work with a large group of people under outside pressure.
