Grinds my fluff!

Episode 2:

I work with a lot of chefs placing their orders and solving issues they may have had with their order or answering any questions they may have when it comes to products they’re interested in etc. I also process the payments. I’m pretty much a chef/customers encyclopedia and their nightmare.

When it comes to payments…boy do they love me…They love me so much that they avoid my calls and emails. I guess collecting payments is a lonely gig.

Trust me when I say this if I’m emailing or calling you, I’m your buffer before the accounting department stamps final notice and send your payments to collections…sooo talk to me…

However what really grinds my fluff is when chefs argue with you about a product but don’t know the products name in a different language…dude. Look it’s one thing is you don’t speak the language and just testing something out or know the item in English. It’s another when you tell someone who speaks the language that they’re wrong and give them shit for it.

Recent conversation: chef who works at a pub deciding to change their menu and make it Asian:

Chef: (lists out a lot of ingredients) “can I also get 2 soy sauce and 3 shoyu, blah blah blah”

Me: *wait till he’s done with his order* “alrighty which brand of soy sauce would you prefer?we have these three brands also white soy sauce”

Chef: yea two Kikkoman soy sauce. Make sure you got three shoyu on this order. Please go over the order with me

Me: not a problem on the order I have blah blah, 5 kikkoman soy sauce, blah, blah, and blah. Is there anything else you would like?”

Chef: whoa whoa whoa I said two soy sauce and 3 shoyu.

Me: understood and kikkoman was requested, five total

Chef: no man 3 of them is shoyu.

Me: yes I understand, shoyu as in soy sauce.

Chef: no it’s not soy sauce it’s a type of marinade

Me: shoyu is Japanese for soy sauce. Did you still want 5?

Chef: oh my god just put the order in without the three shoyu. Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Me: you got it. You’re all set for tomorrows delivery have a great day byeeee.

Chef hangs up upset. Order processed. 5 minutes later…the soy sauce/shoyu item was increased to 5 items.

This isn’t something to really get upset about it’s more of the fact that acceptance of learning something new can be taken as an attack to a person’s pride. We’re on the same side here.

It is what it is. Shake my sane head

Fluffy out!
