As someone who's worked in a few kitchens; usually, when you go for a scale like this, everything works like clockwork. You have enough personnel and the kind of equipment you need to do this right... or you don't do it at all because just one person in the line of production falling 'off' can just stop EVERYTHING. You have your job, you know what you're going to do, you know where everything is and you just... 'zen' your way through the day.

[@howdlej123]

First, the fact you didn't take away from the fact this place offers options meaning its likely up to the person if they feel like eating healthier or not, they clearly made a fruit salad as one of the breakfast options, if that isn't healthy to you, you need help. Secondly, fried food isn't inherently unhealthy, its a case of moderation. These guys probably eat a fairly balanced diet all things considered with a fair variety of foods and with options available, fried food a couple of times a week isn't going to affect your health, especially when its not even fried in oil and there was clearly a stew being made at one point as an option. Even more so when most of these dishes are served with more veg than most Westerners eat in a month. Additionally part way through it clearly says they try to mix things up by treating them to different styles of cuisine such as Mexican and American.

[@kenbobcorn]

It's not 6000 people at a time. I think they said they have workers on 3 8-hour shifts to run the mine 24 hours a day. So they are serving 2000 at a time.

I love the work environment here. Not only enough respect and admiration between resturant staff and miners, but in the kitchens as well. In America, people goof off and don't care about the quality they put in the food, and workers are confrontational and picky. Not to mention corporations cheap out on fresh ingredients. I wish we implemented this work mentality in the states, that way everyone can act more accordingly and leave happily and come to work happily.

[@JimmyJojoshabadoo]

@joshbaucom1983 Yeah I get, I worked for a few corporate structures that really went low on fair treatment after COVID. But even before COVID I saw the hierarchical structure and how upper management gives incentives to middle management to whip workers to procure impossible results, including food service. I used to work at a resturant in a casino. Everyone treated food service like crap, not just the customers. It came to a point workplace ethics was out the window. I had one cook that was outright making food for herself for free, and another cashier grabbed food from stations.

[@AC-ih7jc]

I don't know why I always choke up at this video. Maybe it's that these food workers are doing such a good job to provide healthy, appealing food in a fastidious way to miners who must be working under challenging conditions in a remote, and isolated area (and during a pandemic, to boot). It's almost reverent. Every square of cake gets a little rosette...and a little chocolate decoration. It's not necessary, but it says, "Everybody deserves something pretty -'even if it's just a little square of cake - because everybody needs to know that they matter..." 💗🍰

[@achiibat9466]

My cousin works at this mine site, and he said he’s in a dilemma of good food vs personal weight control 😄 He said he usually skips out dinner because he knows that of he goes, the food will be good for sure and he’d eat a full portion. For reference, he works at the office, so obviously, he doesn’t burn as much calorie as a worker working on the mine would on a working day.

Work is in 12 hour shifts and with my previous company you would start work on a 2 week on 1 week off roster where they fly you in and out of the mine site.

The french chefs we had used to make two sets of meals - one for expats like me and one for the Mongolians. Different tastes but you could try and eat as much if and whatever you wanted.

Since capitalist societies only value working class people for their labor output, then how will they value those people when their labor is no longer needed? It would be nice if we could all enjoy the benefits of automation, but that's not how global capitalism works. The spoils of production are horded by the elite. Will the people who hold the profits and power decide to share their horded wealth with those who are not working to bring them more wealth and power or simply leave those "unemployed" people to die when the capitalist machine no longer needs to exploit them?

@CHILΣΠO , it's way more efficient for a company to provide both food and facilities than for the people to bring in their own food and waste packaging to eat at their own speed on the job or elsewhere. All the food waste and packaging trash is centered in one area too. The time savings is important when there are work shifts that have to be transported all at once from the mines and back to the mines. When people eat together in the cafeteria restaurant as a cohort, fewer transportation trips need to be made and people don't need to wait around for stragglers to fill the transport.
