Testing a new name. Veive (Like Maeve, but with a V). Will probably still use Bonnie/Bunny in the MTG sphere for consistency with all my usernames and features. Just never intended to have Bonnie be my first name forever, it had always been one of my middle names

Context: Our prep cook labels the pecans as < nuts > on storage containers

*RAWDOG puts pecans into a waffle*

Estúpido: « Dude, you totally just nutted in my waffle »

RAWDOG: « Bro... »

Estúpido, caressing RAWDOG's face: « Bro... »

ME AND WHO?!

[Veive @VeiveBurton]

« I'm going to break into a children's hospital, find a terminally ill child, and force him to use his make-a-wish on getting this awful fucking item off our menu »

[Veive @VeiveBurton]

« Alright bitches, who is taking me out to dinner tonight? Because I don't get FUCKED IN THE ASS LIKE THIS FOR FREE »

Yeah, this is the store I belong at.

I love my team, but working at the other location is so much fun. Feels much more like family and the teamwork is significantly better. There's no training to do.

It helps that youngest guy on the line out here is 38 while my location has an average age of 25.

@Naya_Affairs Sometimes nicknames stick.

RAWDOG, after burning his finger: « Why is this grill so hot? »

Estúpido: « It's the meat grill. It cooks meat »

RD: « And? I barely touched it and my finger is already starting to blister »

E: « About that: You are made of meat »

Went to use the restroom, came back to all 4 of the other cooks, including my manager cousin, chanting « Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper »

[Veive @VeiveBurton]

Today I am remembering that we promoted Estúpido to the cookline because he and RAWDOG were a troublesome duo who used to make the hostesses cry by bullying them in the dish pit. Now they're both just on the cookline bullying people again.

We have made a mistake

@HobbesQ Back to back to back to back to back 14+ tops to start the morning

[Veive @VeiveBurton]

Just me and RAWDOG in BOH today because I had to send my only dishwasher and Finger Guns home sick and the prep guy is in Vegas

[Veive @VeiveBurton]

Like honestly, probably the first person in the 80 year history is of this restaurant to choose his own nickname because that shit is sticking

[Veive @VeiveBurton]

We have a cook leaving so we're training a dishwasher to start cooking. The moment we took our eyes off him, he didn't check his cakes and sent them out raw. We all gave him shit for it (as is tradition) and he just loudly proclaims « I'M THE RAWDOG »

@justkevswill I mean, I'm the one wearing the collar, but yes

[Veive @VeiveBurton]

Meeting my girlfriend's friends. Got asked by a gal what the best advice I ever received was (odd icebreaker).

I told her some generic quote from my grandmother.

She fired back with « That seems impractical. Best advice I ever got was never fuck a man who needs a chore list »

[Veive @VeiveBurton]

Our newest server came in an hour early, popped a Totino's Pizza in the microwave, and is now sitting on the counter on the cookline, eating it while watching Theo and I get ready to open.

There's nobody else in the building. She hasn't said a word to either of us.

@GrizzledYungVet Only 6.5 more years until I qualify!

Me: *makes job listing for a Friday-Sunday dishwasher position*

Guy: *applies*

Guy, during his interview: « I can't work Sundays »

Me: « I don't want to waste anymore of your time; I can't hire you »

Guy: « Are you discriminating against me because of my religion? »
