As anyone can tell from my name I am a Chef. I am currently working in a small Hotel kitchen with 12 other staff. They is Illa the 66 yr. old whose been there 17 yrs.. Jeff in his 30's whose been there 3 yrs.. Steve in his 40's whose been there 3 yrs.. Wendy in her 40's whose been there off & on for 7 yrs. Anthony in his 20's whose been there 1yr. and myself in my 50's and have been there 1 yr. We are the main cooks except for Young whose in his 30's who washes dishes, does prep and cook's 1 night a week. He is Korean and is very experienced but doesn't speak English very well and is hard to communicate with since no one in the kitchen speaks Korean. I will tell you a little about these people before I get to the Dishwashers. To start with this is small (2000 people) town Alberta, Canada.so here we go- Illa has been working this kitchen morning shift for 17 yrs and is on her 5-6 owner whose been here 8 yrs. She has no formal training just cooking all her life, Recently she's had a hip replaced and has had to slow down a bit. The specials we do have been the same every day for 8 yrs. now and she make the same soups (about 5 verity's) every week although she has cut down to working 3 days a week. She loves gossip and has recently taken to taking credit for things other people do but all in all is a great person. Jeff is the main breakfast cook, He opens 5 days a week for as I mentioned the last 3 yrs. and since that time has managed to kill the breakfast rush. He is without a doubt the worst breakfast cook I have worked with. He has no training in as far as I can tell any field, is very slow witted and does not have any sense let alone common sense. He is much happier entertaining the wait staff with his sick sense of what is funny than do his job in the kitchen. He is extremely lazy and tries to get away with doing as little work as possible and this goes for his cooking style which I call the killer breakfast, Bacon,Sausage & Hash browns all deep fried. The bacon is so chewy most people leave it as do the hash browns which end up as burnt little nuggets on your plate. You have a 35% chance your eggs will be medium whether there flipped or poached but more likely closer to hard. I have on several occasions tried to show him how it's done properly but all I get is the blank stare of my mommy dropped me on my head several times as a baby look. In Nov. 2008 he won 100,000 in the lottery by March 2009 he was totally broke and by May had sold everything he bought with the money except a ski doo he thought was still worth more than anyone offered. While he still had money he went to the Philippines and married and spent a year trying to get her here. She finally got here in the fall (late Oct.) to find they had to live with his sister in a 2 bedroom trailer. She set about getting a job and they have since moved into a basement suite. She seems very nice and hard working as most Philippinos I know but to give you an idea of what she faces here at our christmas staff party she wore a knee length dress and he was putting his camera between her legs and taking pics, He then proceeded to pour copious amounts of shooters down her throat saying it was rude in Canada to say no then when they got back to their room ( Yes he still thinks he's rich he rented a room for $80. rather than spend $20. on a cab) she passed out in the bathroom naked from the waist down on the toilet and he took pics and proceeded to show everyone in the restaurant the next morning while she sat there embarrassed till one of the wait staff finally deleted all the pics and told him next time she will call the RCMP. That is his sick sense of what is funny and also his mentality. Well that's a run down on the first two only ten more to go and they are just as strange. P.S. These are their real names since I am not making up stories I don't feel the need to make up false names.

Three guy's go to a Hotel and ask for a room. The clerk tells them it's $30.00 so they each give him $10.00 and go to their room. A short time goes by and the clerk notices he made an error the room charge was only $25.00 so he gives the bellboy $5.00 to return to the three guy's. The bellboy can't figure out how to split the 5 between the 3 guy's so he gives each guy $1.00 and pockets $2.00. So now each guy has paid $9.00 times the three guy's is $27.00 plus the $2.00 the bellboy kept what happened to the other $1.00

START SCRATCHING HEAD NOW Have a happy day.
