I work in the dining halls (not cooking) and a lot of these cooks r very hardworking but they have hundreds and thousands of ppl to feed for EVERY meal and it’s hard to make so many items for each meal for that many ppl. Tho I will say that I am paying way too much in tuition money to eat half cooked chicken and unseasoned vegetables…
i mean we pay more than 15,000 a year for these dining halls. if the school is underpaying workers that should be on the school not on us. and well it’s their job, we’re not making of them for being bad cooks we’re showing actual health hazards so i don’t see how it’s attacking hard working people
I feel like you posted this here without even looking at the posts here. No one’s going around saying stuff like “they’re serving sirloin instead of filet mignon!” or anything like that. Wanting our chicken cooked and our sides recognizable as food isn’t bratty or needlessly entitled
“Daddys money” while we are in debt, theres bugs and mold in our food, majority of us cant get jobs we desperately need, ITS YOUR JOB, and its no where near as bad as ACTUAL serving/fast food. You literally dont even have to do anything but cook and put shit on a plate. And most colleges have self serve
Listen, if it weren’t for the students, YOU would have NO job. Many kitchens are short staffed and have to follow the menus to stay in budget. These students do not deserve moldy breads, fruits, fruit flies landing on their foods, dirty restaurants or attitude. If you feel that way, perhaps you need to look for new employment.
I understand it’s hard finding pride in some work but the more you let something bother you the more likely you’ll lost interest and motivation to improve it. I’m no cook but I always try to show someone my best in hopes that it encourages them to do the same but I won’t hold my breath over it I just move forward like the hazard I am.
…bestie my university’s dining service is 98% students being paid too little (minimum wage, which is $7-8) to care about the food. They serve raw food almost daily and are the local health departments most infamous offender. They also don’t properly serve students with allergies. Get off your high horse and stop painting with such a broad brush. Not everyone is at a rich kid school with a dining staff and that actually functions properly.
don’t get me wrong i 100% agree that they work and we should give them respect for it, i’m the first one to propose my help and to be extra nice to dining staff. i’m just saying that does not justify making kids ill because again this is not done from the goodness of their heart but because they are paid to do so. and i blame the school 1000x more then the workers because it’s the school’s fault that out tuition money is not going to properly staffing the kitchens (as in having enough ppl there)
yes i work in a place that understaffed and undertrained and management expects us to do the work of 3 people for one check. “just get through it” fuck you im a student working 2 jobs and we have to feed entitled assholes like you to eat. we make the recipes the university gives us and we cant change that. low quality food is a result of undertraining bc we’re understaffed. its a upper level problem so lay off the fucking workers who are trying their best to feed thousands of snot nosed brats
i’m sorry, but i could not work anywhere and give people bad food in good conscience. you are openly poisoning people for a paycheck. like, i get it, but at the same time, you need to be fighting back a little harder when it comes to something someone will be ingesting. it’s a threat to life and a safety hazard for some.
we cook what we have to work with. nothing more nothing less. we have a recipe to follow and management doesnt care about the shit ass ingredients we get because they ordered it 😭. i am doing my job and people are complaining, i cant do anything except what im told to do bro fuck outta here 😭 i work at the dining hall to eat a free meal once a day so i dont have to pay as much in groceries. blaming us, the student workers just doing our best, is fucked so fuck them kids and fuck you too
i temp all of the food i make but we literally have people working that dont know how. its not my responsibility to make sure every single person is trained, it once again falls on MANAGEMENT. yall so deadset on blaming the fucking students who literally just fucking work there instead of the people who actually run the place!!!
my exact point. they chose to get a job that could potentially poison people. idk, but personally, whenever i’ve worked at a bad workplace, i find new employment. because i’m not gonna openly make people sick for a damn check. i have sympathy for the workers, but also, they’re not victims here at allllll
I don’t really understand why we’re focusing on the workers at all. I know people who’ve worked dining hall culinary— they are absolutely victims, you think they don’t have to eat the same dining hall food on their days off? They’re students too y’know, and often don’t have other employment options. The problem is the admin, who treat the workers terribly, pay them terribly, and encourage dangerous practices. Centering the employees at all is distracting from the REAL issue.
