i don't think i've ever heard someone complain that they have to pay above wholesale for food or drink
I got a price complaint at least once every wedding I worked bar at. It was a hotel on a small island, so prices were pretty high compared to mainland pubs.

tapas is expensive because making a small dish is only very slightly cheaper than making a larger dish, and you're getting tons of dishes
Eh, to a degree.
I could agree if they were literally making every item from scratch when you order it. That takes a lot of labor all at once, and you're not turning out much product.
However I highly doubt they are doing that, because it would be stupid to some degree. You prep things to the point of being able to quickly cook them, hence why I spend hours of my life dicing, slicing, and grating things so that a couple of guys can come in at night and make clam chowder to order.
A lot of the trick is portion size. You can figure out through looking over your sales (most POS systems can keep track of how often things are ordered) and figure out a batch size. So you set a par for having a certain amount of everything ready to go for service, and ideally you'd maybe have one person still prepping over the course of the night in case you start to get a run on any particular items.
Tapas to a large degree is expensive because they can get you to pay that much, because the kind of person who goes to a single restaurant for tapas doesn't know much about the concept and therefore probably doesn't know how fucked their getting.

What I don't get about the McRib is like why wouldn't you just make a pulled pork sandwich?
I mean it could come pre-cooked, you could microwave it in a package and put it on a bun. Hell, I'm sure they could make a little six-pan of coleslaw and have it on their cold table to dress the sandwich, they already make a passable barbecue sauce they could put in their sauce (caulking) guns, and pickles and onions on there. Hell, since it could all be prepared in a central location, you could actually smoke it and make it fucking taste good.
But no, instead pretend you're doing us a solid serving the kind of pressed pork thing I had in cafeteria lunches every once in a while, and do nothing exciting with it.
You might sell that in the Carolinas but the rest of America would reject it. The McRib is mainstream and reliable, your delicious sandwich idea isn't.
Pulled pork is pretty mainstream.
Like sure it might not play in most of the South, but barbecue is catching on all over the country so I'm sure it would work.
Plus since it could be frozen individually or in small batches you really wouldn't have to worry about shelf life.
I'm just saying that it would probably be cheaper and better than most of the products they've introduced of late.

Then you my friend are a very lucky person.
I don't hear it as much anymore, but there was a time when I worked for a couple of months at this tiny bar out in the country and that was like all I ever heard. Oh this is so expensive why am I getting so little blah blah blah.
I get it, you're a bunch of farmers but shit dude we're charging $8 for a half-pound burger and you're still bitching?

speaking of winter it's getting sort of unpleasant to stand outside in doorways and I hope I get my stab vest before my next shift. I need that warmth.

I have both a proper dick and a proper mountain. But now I am going to be more incredulous when canadians talk about their dicks.

Having worked as a waiter, it deffo happens
How often might depend on where you are, but
The guy doing VO there is Tony Joe White, so some sort of Louisiana/Cajun accent.

not bad not bad
Isn't the point of cooking bugs to try and mask the unpleasant taste of them?
only as much as the point of cooking a cow is to mask the unplesant taste of cow
I am thinking like the strong iodine taste of Moreton bay bugs being masked with lots of butter, lemon and being drunk

Still, I'm not keen to destroy any of these areas, companions, or most of the flying machines in the game.
I don't know moreton bay bugs, eat better sea bugs if they taste unpleasant
the sea bugs I eat are boiled/steamed in salted water and that is all they need before eating

Well apart from the fact that I lost one of my gloves on the ferry.
I'm thinking that if I have to buy new gloves, they might as well be stab gloves. Unless they turn out to be too cold.
It's already too bloody dark
Nice place for winter.

I want a medal for the restraint I'm showing re: the jokes to be made here
I talk with my customers, and overhear their conversations, more than most waiters do
Only t-minus six hours until I got to do that work thing again.
Maybe get to work on some new desserts?
I absolutely believe cormac mccarthy actually speaks like that and it makes me so happy
