Biff knows that shit isn't easy, he's just being a cunt.

You sit in a cushy office and don't do any real work.

LOL, here comes the uneducated douchebag who presumes that only his labor is real work. Got any more original thoughts that you haven't posted 100 times?

Got some news for you, being a cook isn't even on the top 10 toughest job in the world. Get a fucking life.

When you go to a restaurant with a caliber like Ruth Chris or Morimoto's. Typically, they will throw you out or tell you to deal with it. In fact they will politely ask you to leave. If you go to a place like Red Lobster or Olive Garden (high class eating!). They will adjust accordingly, cause really the ingredients are shitty to begin with.

lol, then they aren't high class.

If you are stubborn and don't try to make the customer happy you can not claim to be better than cheaper restaurants. Superior customer service is part of quality. You can't claim to be high class if you have no class.

Then what makes your cooking so special? NOTHING.

EXACTLY. I'm a journeyman cook. I'm not under the pretention that I'm some super artist, but I do understand that it's my job to make decisions for you in the effort of putting out the best dishes I can. That's my job. It's the entire point of eating out.

This bullshit of the customer is always right has no place in decent eating establishments. Of course we'll do it for you, but it's not appreciated. I don't know how many times I can say this.

Uneducated my nuts. I have 2 degrees. I like to cook.

Also: You're right to presume I have no respect for people that don't do any real labor.

Who do you think butchers the steaks?
Who do you think makes the sides?

Also: It's about doing this with 55 steaks already on the broiler.

You can try and belittle me and act like my job isn't shit, but you're wrong. When you get burnt by an 1800 degree broiler while losing pounds of sweat while being screamed at and still holding it down everyday at your job you can act like my job isn't hard. You sit in a cushy office and don't do any real work.

although not directed at me I'll respond anyway... I know your job is tough, I have family that owned restaurants and/or cooked in them and the stories are those of hard work, sacrifice, long hours, etc. In the end they were there because they knew how to cook and provided a service in order to make money. That's honorable and I respect that tremendously, it's when you add the arrogance and sense of entitlement to your creation that is off.

Your 2 degrees taught you nothing but being a narrow-minded pretentious fucktard.

Working in an office running or participating in economic decisions is at least as hard if not mentally harder than flipping steaks. I have respect for both environments, and certainly respect a good cook as much as a good sales rep.

Not sure why we are fighting.

Awesome.

To be fair, though, a lot of this simply comes from ego. I have, countless times, designed a new website or ad or layout or whatever, something I thought was stellar, and then had the person I was working for want something changed that in my eyes "ruined" what I had put so much time and effort into. But, the fact is, I'm making it for them so that they'll give me money, and my choice is either to change it so that they'll be happy or not get money.

It can be really tough in that position, because you feel like you know far more than the person in regards to what is or isn't good for that creation (and the truth is, you probably do), and making that change is just like stabbing yourself in the heart with a knife. But, that's what you do, because you're making it for your customer and not yourself.
