    I'd love to see a full communist restaurant one day. I love serving people, making them tasty food. But because of alienation, I don't always love my job. I wish I could just keep on doing what I'm doing and make a livable wage. I'm doing better than I was on minimum wage, but 16/hr still isn't really worth it. Restaurants making all the food just makes sense. They have all the food, and all the staff to do it, I can serve 2000+ a day at the busiest restaurant I was at, I would love for 2000 people to just came by for dinner and didn't have to cook themselves. I can cook for them so much faster and better! People that hate cooking should just be able to go to place that serves that need, because I'm more than happy to do it for them.

    Idk, I just wish that I could serve working class people who want to eat for their sustinence. Honestly expecting everybody to cook is terrible, especially when 1 person can easily serve 1000+ under the right circumstances I'll. We could just have social mess halls and serve a shit ton of people with no problems, for cheaper.

      God yes. I've never actually worked in a kitchen (just finished grad school, trying to get some shitty email job), but I'd much rather cook for hundreds of people. It would take some learning (my knife skills aren't great), but if the world were better, I'm pretty sure I'm meant to work in a communist canteen. Unfortunately I don't think I could survive a kitchen as they exist. I'm also vegan. So as much as I'd love to spend my life cooking for people it's simply not in the cards. Instead I'm going to waste all my time and effort at some bullshit email job that doesn't need to exist. It's too bad, really.

      Absolutely the best idea. Community kitchens also used to be a thing, people would use communal resources to get their needs met.

      This is the future I want to live in and one I know would also be safe for my disabled comrades for example. heart-sickle
