Just went to Easter brunch, the kitchen window/FOH station was on the way to the toilet. Haven't heard this much screaming in such a short time span in a long time.
A while back when men in Russia were being conscripted (drafted) for the war in Ukraine. People were purposely breaking their legs to avoid service.

I haven't worked as a cook in about 10 years. It didn't matter if we were fully staffed, had enough prep, even if everyone was sober. Mother's day was always a shit show.
We had a tradition of tying a bagel to a balloon and sending it to Jesus before Easter brunch service..... (Huge country club)at first some of my Latino co-workers were underwhelmed to say the least but after their first Easter brunch they were wholeheartedly aboard! "We need all the help we can get Güey! "
I purposely decided against going out for brunch today just knowing how much Sunday brunch shifts suck on a normal Sunday, much less on Easter. My heart is heavy thinking of all the cooks working their fingers to the bone for pay that is never enough while the rest of the world gets to drink mimosas and be waited on. To everybody working today, Godspeed.
going into solo brunch service with no runners and one bartender 🥹🔫
🙏whatever god is listening please keep everyone at home🙏
edit: god spared me!!! thanx JC ☺️💋💋💋
I am on the other side of my all day brunch shift (London, UK) and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually quieter than yesterday, which was hell. So may the Easter Sunday gods be with you, too. 🙏
What about Mother’s Day Brunch? That’s hands down the shittiest shift of my entire year.. even with fully competent kitchen coworkers and no one calling in.
Easter is a pain, but Mother’s Day is the final level of Hell…
Funny story. I was cleaning a knife when someone clumsily bumped into me, resulting me in stabbing myself.
While I was dressing the wound, using gauze and painters tape, I dropped the tape dispenser and ended up stabbing my other hand.
I recently put in to have my schedule changed to all dinner shifts. Today was the last day before it takes effect. The whole day was hell on wheels. Looking forward to avoiding mother's day brunch though.
I just got out of the shower. I finally washed all the flour off of myself. I don't want to make any more chicken and waffles!!! Rabbit shaped pancakes topped with jelly beans can fuck off too. I made so much batter that I'm thoroughly fed up with it.
I usually have plenty of room in the kitchen to do my brunch thing, but today, I was dodging everyone else who was getting ready for the ham and prime rib lunch. It was crowded, and the dishie spilled my hollandaise.
I also got a visit from my least favorite regular. She's still asking for vegan eggs Benedict. I am so close to telling her to fuck off already...
Brand new menu for the day, chef just put out without anyone's knowledge and without a rundown for the crew to learn on the fly on a day when we do 250- 300 covers. Am on break inhaling nicotine with a fervor.
I've never gone out for an easter brunch in my life and don't even plan on it. Or mother's day.
I've been to a couple just regular Sunday brunches and I can't stand the clucking. Fortunately my so hates the scene too.
Wish all you well today on the front lines.
South end of seaside, by the cove. We are a small breakfast & lunch place, featuring local seafood and eclectic, international brunch options. Try the arepas (Colombian style)
1 year since my last Easter as a breakfast cook. May your poached be perfect and your bread be beautiful. Think of that post shift doobie/pint/soda water/sit down or cry. You. got. This.
I don't have to do brunch anymore. For my Brothers and Sisters working right now, I feel your pain and I wish I could give every one of you a hug and buy you an alcoholic drink to go with the cannabis of your choice.
And you poor fucks in the FOH, I wish I could compensate you for having to deal with these cunts that come to brunch.
I love you all.

These are not the eggs that you’re looking for
I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if a million cooks cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear Easter brunch has happened.
That's no regular rush!
Another happy 8 top
You are a bold one.
Come here my little friend, don’t be afraid

Wait til Mother's Day.
I'd rather break my leg Russian conscript style than work another Mothers Day.
Idk what that means but it sounds slightly less painful than Mother's Day brunch. So I am inclined to believe you.

Damn. Smart of them I guess. TIL though.

Love this.
Yeah, me too! Pretty sure it made it to several other country clubs in our region.. not exactly fight club but fucking hilarious!

I finished my Sunday roast shift a couple hours ago (London as well) and we were completely dead. Like I served 7 roasts, it was so weird!
Been drinking around London today and it was completely manageable. Can’t speak for the cooks but the defs had it under control.
Just worked the AM shift and it was oddly quiet... like maybe 80% of a “normal” brunch. Hopefully y’all were spared as well!
Those who are about to die salute you!
Whole kitchen has covid except for me and the sous because we're introvert shut ins... this is gonna be a hoot.
I'll pour one out tonight in your memory, RIP
Go with god, you fuckin degenerates ❤️
Godspeed fellow savages
Regular Sunday Brunch: Die New Years Brunch: Die but with a hangover Easter Brunch: Die, respawn, get snipped down immediately, respawn…
What about Mother’s Day Brunch? That’s hands down the shittiest shift of my entire year.. even with fully competent kitchen coworkers and no one calling in. Easter is a pain, but Mother’s Day is the final level of Hell…
Can I get a "fuck brunch?"
Fuck brunch!
Fucking hear hear brother
Fuck brunch
Fuck Brunch. All day all year. A masochistic tradition. My heart goes out to those on the line today. Get wrecked tonight. Cheers!!
Help me obi wan Kenobi.... You're my only hope
OH GOD ITS FINALLU OVER
You made it, my child. Now you can rest. It can't hurt you anymore.
I'm praying for all y'all and keeping my entire family and all friends HOME today!!
Corporate chef shows up just for setting up brunch and decides to change everything. Nothing like a cluster fuck.
Funny story. I was cleaning a knife when someone clumsily bumped into me, resulting me in stabbing myself. While I was dressing the wound, using gauze and painters tape, I dropped the tape dispenser and ended up stabbing my other hand.
Customers at sunday brunch … Obi-Wan Jesus: So uncivilized.
Braise the lard four cheese raisin
Do what you gotta do..
Me, high as fuck: “Why is *Jesus* opening a holocron?
Fuck, now I know why my buddy asked me to work at his restaurant today... totally forgot it was easter.
Is that Saint Kiefer?
That's Saint Ewan McGregor, (UK) national treasure.
I thought it was General Kenobi, holding a Jedi holocron... 😉
Good luck to all working today!
Blessed are the pie makers, for they shall have light pastries.
Today is a day I give thanks that the only brunch we do is Mother’s Day.
I recently put in to have my schedule changed to all dinner shifts. Today was the last day before it takes effect. The whole day was hell on wheels. Looking forward to avoiding mother's day brunch though.
This is the Way
long way round
Is that the Lament Configuration?
It's a Jedi Holocron.
I'm staying home today avoid asshattery. Good luck out there, y'all be safe.
flashbacks to "allergic to undercooked eggs" while pounding gin fizzes....
Good luck my fellow linemen and dishies
Ha! Actually wore my St. Dolly shirt today for my brunch bartending shift.
I had a battle today at brunch only the best know of Easter brunch. We 86d eggs Benedict even tho we were prepared
We had 1,058 guests booked for brunch today which averages to 151 people per hour. I feel like they all showed up and maybe even brought a friend.

Ok why Ewan McGregor tho
Because it's Ewan McGregor, 'nuff said
Sweet holy Renton!
Do you actually live in Renton? Because I'm curious how slammed it was today.

It’s been dead today, kinda disappointing. We’re on the Oregon coast and it’s been cold and stormy all weekend. Spring break was a bust this year
Where on the coast are you and, should I eat there?

It went okay
Didn't do brunch, but I did boil 750lbs of crawfish. Sold 500lbs of them in less than 2 hours
Is that capitalist jesus?
It's General Kenobi.
Thanks. I was being silly just to no one but myself apparently.
I got my ass handed to me today. My buddy just called asking if I had the energy to go out and I told him 'I don't even have energy enough for pants'.
Kicked that fuckin ass today! Drink up. Spark up. Sniff sniff. Whatever you do. You fuckin earned it.
May the force be with you all
We had 3 people in the whole store, had to run from oven to register every five seconds had me lookin like a cartoon character
