What I saw when working as a waiter

I worked in the banquet line before and I know many stories about the job in the line. Many people thinks that the food in 3 stars and 5 stars hotels “SHOULD” be clean. But after listening to my story I am sure you will think otherwise.

When I was a waiter in one of the 5 stars hotels, we usually prepare 4 big barrels of coffee and tea. 2 for coffee and 2 for tea. Well, here is the good news. Before the the arrival of the customers, we had prepared some punishment for them. One of the coffee and tea had been included with some SECRET RECIPE! This includes mucus and lots of sliver. This Secret Recipe is made to punish fussy and annoying customers. So remember to treat your waiter well!

I remembered there was this one time when one of the waiter drank the secret recipe and the rest of us just laughed. Since he is an Axxhxle, we decided to keep this a secret from him. I remembered that he offered me to drink it too. He even said it taste good. Man that was one of the funniest cases.

Since I started working there, I never eat or drink their food and beverages. Thanks to such nasty experiences. If I want to eat, I will ask the cook to cook me something. Well they are kind enough to cook me some simple food all the time.

Many think that the cutleries at the hotels are very clean. Let me tell you a story. All the dishes in these hotels are done in a dishwasher. Often, there are many remains left stucked on the plates. That is the main reason why all the plates and cutleries required polishing. Polishing also helps to remove the water stains on the cutleries.

After going through the dishwasher, these plates and cutleries will then go through the dryer. The remains which is not cleaned well will be stucked on the plate and its difficult to remove. The solution? Just dip it in hot water and then wipe it clean with a piece of cloth. Alternatively, some people might just spit a little bit of sliver and wipe it clean.

To make matters worse, only god knows what cloth is being used. Although the cloth might look very clean but these cloths are cleaned with bleaches. It may look clean but chemical level is very high. It is the same cloth that we use to wipe the tables and also sometimes being used to polish the employee’s shining black shoes

I had also worked in a famous Western Food chain store in the past. What I saw there? “Recycling campaign”! The cleanliness of the store is good but the cleanliness of the materials is not. They recycled the butter and the decorative items on your dish

For example, you know western food often have soup as appetizer which comes with bread and butter. Well if you did not finish the butter, please destroy the butter. Dishonest restaurants like these will freeze the remaining butter and use it to cook. Not to forget the beautiful tomatoes that they place on the plate. Crush it or they might rinse it with water and some other will have to consume your sliver

Even after such experiences, I still eat outside but never in the hotels and restaurants that I worked in before. The reason is if you don’t know its dirty its ok but if you knew its dirty, you will never want to eat there. Anyway I will not tell you the name of the hotel and the name of the restaurant. I don’t want you to lose your appetite and do not want to destroy their good name and reputation. I might also get sued if I do so.

I will share some other stories in the future when I have free time. Well… tata for now. TTFN. End…
