"If somebody is a back-of-house line chef and they're actually preparing real food and chopping and dicing and really cooking, do they really want to go across the street and warm things or fry things?" Zackfia said.
The prestige of being a line cook is just insurmountable. Great observation.
He thinks he is making some kind of profound point, but I literally did exactly that, better hours, easier work and better pay working at fast food than being a line cook.
I have a friend that went to culinary school and worked at some 4 star restaurants and then went on to writing cookbooks for a kitchen gadget company. He now works at a U-haul and doesn't seem to have any regrets.
Line CHEF. So they're management. And the fuck kind of argument is this? I'm an amazing cook, and I will absolutely go across the street to warm and fry things if I'm not being compensated for my extra labor and skill. I told my boss when I started and was clearly way above the dishwasher position I was hired for and was running the line while working the pit at the same time within a week that they gotta take the P out of their Praise real fast. Like my idol The Joker once said 'if you're good at something, never do it for free" and accepting a shit wage means part of your skill is being used for free (it always is but you gotta try to narrow the gap). Be like the Joker, make sure the mob gives you a 40 foot pile of money before killing batman. You can just rob banks with juggalos for the lowball money. The threat of me saying "why should I bust my balls here instead of reading a book and getting stoned working at a gas station?" Is absolutely imperative.
