BE WARNED, CHEF'S KITCHEN RANT CONTAINS EXPLICT LANGUAGE

"Read it if you Dare"

Dirty Staff

How many of you like to come to work and see someone's arse crack? Very few I would imagine. That is one of my pet hates and unfortunately it is becoming more and more popular due to the current 'fashions'. This is ridiculous. Not only is it unhygienic, but it really isn't a pleasant thing to see. If i wanted to see somebodies arse every time I came to work I'd ask Shrek to trade places with me =) NOT COOL! I'm sorry but no matter how you spin it, having pants down around your ankles is not a good thing. Which brings me to another blog about uniforms.

Now the majority of chefs take pride in the uniform we wear. It may sound silly, but the clothes Chefs wear are universally known and recognised to many as professional and extraordinary. But what about waiters? What is symbolic to their dress code? Do waiters take the same pride in there appearances as Chefs? I doubt it.
Lets face it, as Hellraiser has previously stated in many of his posts, most waiters take on this roll to earn some extra cash or for something to do of an evening. It isn't a lifestyle or a career choice for them. Do they know why they wear aprons below the knee? Do they know the history of their standard uniform? Chefs do, so why don't they?

The answer is plain and simple. They just don't care. But honestly, even if you don't care about where your uniform originated, at least have some pride in your appearance and enough self respect to tuck in your shirt and pull you fucking pants up! Does you mother need to come to your house and dress you every morning?
The amount of people who turn up to work wearing dirty aprons and unironed shirts seems to be growing by the day. Aren't we supposed to be in a society now that is consumed by vanity? Well if so, why is it that no one takes 5 minutes to iron their shirt and find a clean apron?
People don't care how they look and how they present themselves anymore, they only care about getting paid. This mentality is simply unacceptable.
Who wants to go to a fine restaurant for dinner and be served by a grotty slob waiter. It's not good for business and it's not good for your personal reputation. No one is going to recommend the restaurant to a friend if they have been served by Sloppy Waiter Dumbass.
Have a bit of pride people and show some respect for your employment establishment and yourself!

Good point awesomekid,
it's not suposed to be a night club or sexy joint, it's a bloody restaurant where couples, families, friends, first dates etc, come to enjoy a dinning experience not a fucking fashion show or some sort of love parade.
Take pride in yourself and dress for the part, a waiter, a bar person etc, have a high degree of cleanliness and pride in your appearence.
Don't forget you are the front of house and you are representing a business serving food and beverages. Your not trying to sell your boddies.
Don't get me wrong, good looking people with great figures is fantasic and right, and both male and females should enjoy it, but there is a time and a place for that too!
Question? why is it so that the majority of establishments make the chefs supply their own uniforms and floor staff not? Very strange when you consider that the chefs are locked up in a kitchen and out of sight!
