If a customer doesn't have a sense of humour too bad. I bust my butt day after day refusing to compromise my standards all because some idiot thinks they know how to do my job better than I do. I've been working in kitchens since I was 16, almost half my life, and I let my food do my talking for me.

Oh good grief, I had this manager one time... A new hire, knew absolutely nothing about cooking or food preperation, but he was put in charge of the place. He stood over my shoulder telling me what to do... And kept irritating me. "That obviously needs more salt" or "Hey, that's gonna burn if you keep it over an open flame like that!"

I settled his hash by grabbing him by his little perfect pony tail and holding his face inches above a boiling bubbling deep fat fryer and telling him to STFU or else I would baptise him in the grease.

No, I didn't not get fired. The OWNER of the place overrode the new manager's decision to fire me. The manager however, was canned.
