AS far as food waste, so many places do it. Wendy's uses the leftover burgers for next day chili, for instance. My Dad used to supervise for Arby's and they used to toss the leftover sliced beef into BBQ Sauce to use the next day as a bbq beef like sandwich special. I remember vague things about it cause I was like 8 or 9. Used to do the same with things at our family delis growing up. The re-imagining leftovers, not the bbq beef thing. LOL. It's the same as re-inventing leftovers at home.

I need that griddle. I splashed sizzling hot oil all over my arm when I was flipping a burger patty last week. I usually just make a couple of single beef pattie burgers for me and my wife, but decided to make double cheese burgers. When I flipped my 4th pattie there was just too much grease accumulated in the pan. I'll either get a griddle or drain the oil between cooking the patties next time.

Do you know what happens in a lot of jobs if you show up and bust your ass? You become the corporate slave. You end up having your boss show up at your door on your days off because he or she knows you'll do the work. I've had a number of jobs over the years and that has always been my experience. The only reward for hard work is more work. It doesn't help that we are all disposable. I've got education and experience and I've never found that ideal "career" job. I'm not suggesting that either of you run your businesses that way. That "forever" job that enables you to buy a house and raise a family is no longer a reality for a majority of people. Something needs to change or you're never going to be able to find people that care enough to show up.

Hey custumer, you're supporting my employees either way, one is just more direct to the employee than the other. Besides, if you tip cash you're being a good person by cutting the government out of the transaction. Fuck the IRS.

So as someone who was a "server", ie a waitress for a number of years, yeah, I wanted my tips because places I was working paid barely above minimum wage or less than minimum wage so tips were necessary, even when it was the former case the pay was still so abysmal needed tips, and I will bet to you guys that your employees "still want their tips" because the wages they're receiving ain't covering the costs they need to get by. I mean, I like you guys--it's why I watch your channel, but your take-aways on when it comes to employees is not near as insightful as you seem think it is. For instance, Brian talking about how successful his wife is while also owning a successful shop and their combined wages leads them to still be struggling, "bUt u dOn'T hEAr uS bItcHin' aBoUt it", that's you take-away? And you're satisfied with that situation? You think it's okay that you have that level of successful and still stagnate at best in your current living conditions? You don't think that's even mildly messed up and maybe needs to change in our current society and thus worth maybe bitching about--doing something about it? And you're gonna complain about workers having no ambition? Well, a lot of those "good employees" are doing that and means not working a places that they don't see will cover there needs. Simple as that. So, if you're standing around wondering where all the talent has gone while getting employees that feel zero compunction or need work for what your giving, chances are it's because you're not the only game in town offering that wage for that work and they know (or at least have the perception of) you can and are willing to easily replace them no matter how hard they work (because of past experiences) so what have you done to make them care? Your business is special and means something to you because it's yours, but you're not the only one in town and from the employee perspective especially in this modern society workers are only see as bodies easily turned out through the meat grinder and that's how most employees especially low income employees (and I'm willing to bet your works fall in the low income/working class bracket) view owners and managerial staff viewing them. Now take you what you got with your struggles and cut it down significantly and you'll have an iota of understanding where your own employees are in regards to their living conditions and livable finances--and if you think I'm not talking about those "good employees" you're waxing nostalgic about once possessing, think again, guys. And they're going though that with the full understanding (ESPECIALLY in the food industry) that without tips their wages will not be livable and they're going to be taking on another job to make it work, unsurprisingly likely even a third, and possessing utter awareness whatever wage increase they ask for no matter how hard the work will be peanuts or met with resistance no matter what an employer may claim otherwise (let's be real here, guys), and further on top of that when push comes to shove of quitting if not getting paid more for what they need just to maybe drop one of the places they're currently working at so they're only working at 1 job or 2 rather than the 2 or 3 that they're currently working (it's what the average low income/working class worker is going through), they know the employer most times will gladly drop them for some low wage schmucks off the street you guys were just mocking in this episode. And then you got the gall to wonder where employee "loyalty" is? Or where all the "good employees" are? Or why employees aren't grateful or kissing the ring for being hired by you? Yeah, I wonder.

My experience in 20 years of work. If you work hard, especially at any smaller non-corporate business, you will be recognized and rewarded. The people who complain about not making enough for their hard work are very often the people consistently screwing off and don't do nearly as good a job as they think they do. They are so lost in their own world that they are judging themselves based off themself and not off what is actually good in the industry. These people think they are David Goggins because they walked 5000 steps a day. I've worked slaughterhouse production, done arborist work, and grew up working on farms throwing hay and mucking stables. The restaurant business pays more than any of the other 3 and takes significantly less effort. What people lack is perspective, and they need to stop looking at millionaires as examples of how they should be living or what they should strive for.

I've got chronic pancreatitis from a gallstone blockage. That led to type 2 diabetes and now I get chronic bouts of colitis. I know what I can and cannot eat.

Talking about the business and employee relationship. I am not an owner but the foreman of a landscape company, so I do have to lead employees. I have to say that fella in the short is spot on, so many youngsters don't realize that one hand washes the other. They have a very entitled mindset, as well, they have no concept of whether or not we are carrying them (as baggage} or are they holding their weight. Though, shout out to the few employees who always show up on time and put in more than "good enough", of coarse they get paid better than the bare minimum workers. On another note, that Guga package looks tight, I might have to get one, that burger made me hungry. Great podcast as usual.

Responsible people can't work for you because they need to pay their bills like responsible people with jobs that pay enough.

@@GaryBusey-sLaserdiscCollection Again, where does the money come from? A restaurant can only make so much money, and the restaurant making good money depends on the workers actually doing their job well. Workers doing a better job directly leads to more money being available to pay workers. When you sign a contract to work, you are essentially agreeing to earn money for the business at the wage you agree to. If you want rights to the money earned by a business, you need to own your own. So long as you keep thinking of this as a "this or that" or "If/Then" problem, then you are confused. Once you change to start looking at life as patterns and see cause and effect are really just one process and not two separate events then things will start going better for you.

This may seem elitist, but I've also never thought about the logistics of buying bread for a business because it isn't my business! Part of running a business is figuring out the logistics of how to pay for the caliber of employee you want. Anyone can start a business and try to run a sweatshop but the quality will fall off and then you can't whine that people don't want to work when it's that the people you want don't want to work for what you want to pay. People these days are giving businesses too many free passes to make excuses for why they won't pay workers enough to live on. If you can't pay your workers then you have too many employees or your overhead is too high or your rent is too high so many possible reasons; none of which is the employee's fault or the reason why they should take less income to help the business owners dream succeed ESPECIALLY when the owner says their poor wages are "not the restaurant's problem".

@@Puzzlesocks I've worked for restaurants through my 20s and while admittedly a tipped-based server will benefit from the success of a restaurant I strongly doubt the guy making sandwiches will get a significant pay increase with the success of the shop and it's a moot point if that job doesn't pay enough for him to live on. Making sandwiches isn't a upward facing career, maybe manager one day is about the best one could expect. That leaves kids living with their parents or single young adults living with roommates as the only feasible employee options. The responsible ones, ones who will want to have a family, ones who want more from their future will likely either not take a dead-end job or move on quickly (high turnover rate) leaving only the unmotivated employees which leads employers to think everyone is lazy or no one wants to work when in fact it is the employer attracting that caliber of people. Like guys who think they only need money to get women but then think all women are gold diggers because they only date women who want someone for their money. There are so many people in the world, if you are surrounded by what you deem a low caliber of people then the problem is probably on you. “If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.”

I think the whole "employee/employer" conversation is very much a "chicken or the egg" kind of problem. Many employees of my generation grew up always being told to work hard at a company, give 110%, and be loyal until you retire - and it'll all pay off. In a world where employers (not all, but many) that once showed loyalty to their employees are now trying to find reasons to fire/lay off good employees for reasons ranging from cost-cutting to avoiding paying out retirement, that mentality just hasn't been worth it. So now many of my generation want to work, but don't forsee a ROI where it concerns company loyalty and "going above and beyond", and employers see a generation of workers (not all, but many) who don't put in one ounce of effort more than is required - if that. So which comes first; loyalty to the company, or loyalty to the employee? I don't know.

Do you think in 1830 that companies were giving out retirement packages all willy nilly? This whole idea that everyone should be taken care of instead of that people should take care of themselves just seems like a plague to me. If you do the math on how much it would cost to give these retirement packages to everyone you begin to understand just how insurmountable a cost it really is. The idea was dead from the get go. You should do a good job because you signed up for the job and should respect your community you serve, end of story. Trying to excuse your laziness by saying someone else owes you something neither of you agreed to is ugly.

@@Puzzlesocks Considering the fact that public pensions in the US emerged in the mid 1800's for only certain municipal employees I can with confidence say that no, I don't think companies were giving out retirement packages all willy nilly. You could have picked any date prior to the widespread adoption of pensions/retirements/401k and asked the same question, and unless you have some standard by which you would judge that such times were better I would question the relevance of the argument being made. The point I will agree with is that people need to take care of themselves - and, I would add, that includes not wasting more effort than required at a job that has no plans on rewarding you for going above and beyond (pay raises, upward movement, bonuses, etc.). Such efforts could (and in today's economy, often should) be reallocated to another job or side hustle that'll make up for the difference in the cost of living. You should do your job because you are paid to do it. Respect (in a community or on a personal basis) goes both ways, and is earned - not given. To believe that many of my disillusioned peers are all simply lazy in a world full of mass layoffs, exploitative management styles, and wrongful terminations is woefully naive at best and willfully obtuse at worst.

@@thewinterbound Clueless is buying up the socialist propaganda that business owners are a different class of people who owe something to the poor working class. The whole idea that we have a society with classes of people is just socially reinforced propaganda. The point of asking about retirement packages in the past is to show that they didn't exist except in very rare instances. Again, do some basic maths and you will find that providing this on a wide scale is completely untenable. Do the more expanded maths, (including all costs to a first degree of separation) and you will see it's absolutely bonkers to promote it as a sound idea. Just for a small example, if we gave out such packages at my small restaurant, we would have to earn nearly double what we currently do annually but we already run at capacity year round. There literally is not enough fridge space, time, or hands to work that much product. You talk about wasted effort, but what you are wasting is yourself. So long as you keep thinking of yourself in that way, you will be endlessly frustrated, because the person you aren't respecting is yourself. There is never a reason to half ass a job, and half assing includes doing the bare minimum. If you want upward movement, you have to reach upward, not have it handed to you. Once again, if you are doing a job for money and not because you want to do the job, then it's as if you are eating the menu instead of the dinner. You've mistaken life itself for a descriptive caricature of life, and a pretty miserable caricature in your case.
