I just quit my job at Ruby Tuesdays. Worked there just over a month, back on the hunt starting NOW.... I just needed something to help out with Bonnaroo, lol.
I work at Rubys also, for the second time in my life.

usually that is a sign that you have been eating too many of the infinite fries. i have known many who are ex ruby's employees, and after awhile, it just doesn't pay to keep eating the fries, unfortunately. not many people tip well if they just camp out and eat fries all day, so yeah you end up getting cold ones at best and desecrated ones at worst. it would be a lot better if they were regularly put out hot next to the salad bar. mmm salad. damn im hungry now.

wow yeah that would be a good idea, putting them near the salad bar. last time i went to ruby tuesdays, the first fries i got that came with my meal were lukewarm/verging on cold, the second batch was nice and hot.

I somehow never get sick of eating where I work, and that's made even more impressive by the fact that I worked at subway for a while. I could eat the same thing every day and have no problem with it.
Let's just say I'm never eating Ruby Tuesday's again.
And that is my 7,000th post, and I think it's a good one.
wait. this is one of those things that i don't want to know but probably need to know, isn't it.
ziggyandthemonkeys,
i heart subway so much. sorry but i was one of the customers with ridiculous special orders. my favorite restaurant job was at fazoli's because of all the free food. one time the manager agreed to let me have free drinks for life if i mowed the lawn. i dont think he meant it but i mowed the lawn so now every time i go in i get a free glass of water and then fill it with soda. karma! you listen to me and you listen to me good! he made a deal with me! shook hands and all
I have worked at the Kroger Deli (will never eat there); Subway (love it still); Domino's (love it still) and Red Lobster (will never eat there again either - but at least I know how to make a bunch of their stuff now - so I can make it at home in a clean kitchen)

I worked at Kay's Ice Cream when I was 16 and haven't eaten there since. And I worked at TCBY for 3 years and would gladly eat there, but it rarely ever occurs to me (and now the closest one is 30 minutes away).
i have worked in three places: pappadeaux's, applebee's, and a local burger place. the local place was probably the cleanest. really all i learned was that you have to just not think about it or you would almost not be able to eat anywhere.

^^ seriously. i work at a catering place. it's not too bad; i eat the food but after seeing firsthand what goes on behind closed doors i'd probably never hire a caterer.

i always wanted to try catering, that's one job i never got around to. yeah i saw some things behind closed doors at restaurants but not enough to kick my OCD into preventing me from eating out. if i happen to know of really bad practices like chicken hockey on the floor at kfc that has since closed or spot horrid ratings on the news (recently there was a restaurant in knoxville that got a 38 or something like that...uhhh...) then i avoid them, but other than that you just have to put it out of mind and trust its ok. ive worked in factories too and some of the same nassiness at restaurants goes on at factories, health inspectors are just simply not everywhere all the time. unless you grow/raise your own food you are probably eating something you dont want to know about but then again most people consume lots of spiders in their sleep, too. if it tastes good eat it. not the spiders i mean, thats probably a bad idea
If most people knew what went on in the kitchens of restaurants - they would never eat out - I agree - you just have to not think about it
This is the biggest thing I learned in restaurants, how to not have dirty food bother you. I can eat some stuff that most people would be pretty grossed out by. When I worked with a catering company/restaurant the catering kitchen was actually the cleanest i've ever seen.
What happened to indigrainbowlove? Now she's a guest??
The facebook persona was a he, I am thinking it was someone screwing with inforoo. When he added me on facebook it was brand new, and that account is gone as well.

weird - I hate it when people just screw around like that
I've worked at Copeland's, Semolina, Monjunis, and Roadhouse Grill. I never got tired of the food at any of those places. I bartended at most of them and never got tired of the drinks either
Dallas manages Monjunis and I eat there for free all week and never get tired of it. Muffalettas, Shrimp Po Boys, Neopolitan Stuffed Pasta, Italian Salad, Veggie Lasagna. Yum.

That's because in your most recent former life, you were a goat. Some things carry over, so I've heard.
