After his shift, this man drives his '04 Honda Civic back to his one bedroom apartment in the small group of apartments on the corner of Elm and Oak streets. After a short relaxing shower, so as not to use too much hot water, he sits in his reading chair next to a small end table with a soft lamp. No television for this man, it's the devil's work! He pours himself a stiff glass of whole milk, because it's Friday and he wants to treat himself. He then opens up his leatherbound bible his parents got him last Christmas and takes up where he left off last night. Paying for seminary school isn't cheap, plus the church needs his tithings, so he is glad he chose to work the carving station at Old Country Buffet. It's a BIIG responsibility!

I recall every restaurant I went to in the 90s was very pleasant and memorable experience. I don't know if I wasn't paying attention or what, but I always liked all the places Pizza Hut, Burger King, McDonalds, and Old Country Buffet. They all had employees that I recall were very nice, and did whatever they could to make sure you were happy. These days, you go into places, you're literally on your own. It seems like no one really cares and everyone is only looking out for themselves. I notice the biggest issue is that most of the people working behind the counters are trying to make a living. Back when I was growing up, these places were places you worked at for "fun." I had a job at 16 at McDonalds, and such and only a couple of folks there were working there for a living whereas myself and many others were just 16 years old working to make some extra cash to buy junk. I think that's the most major change between then and now in terms of why you get such bad service.

I used to work at one of these places back in the 80s. They need to show what to do when someone has pigged out for two hours and then throws up at your carving station. You know, real life scenarios.

My brother worked as a chef. I heard nothing but horror stories.

[@angusorvid8840]

I worked for a catering company, and we had to watch a similar training video, just a very general kind of training vid not produced by the catering company. But soon as you tried to be friendly to diners, they would either ignore you or say, "I just want roast beef, not a discourse on the weather." But what my brother dealt with as a chef was one horror story after another. Restaurant economics are mindboggling and as a chef you have to know them.

The last section about knife handling safety was pretty legit if you ask me. Knife safety is commonly overlooked as common sense, but I have seen so many knife accidents that could have been prevented by this training video. “Dull knifes are more dangerous than sharp knives!” “Never try to catching a falling knife!”

The first I heard about the dangers of dull knives was in Boy Scouts. I somehow learned on my own about falling sharp objects, I think from scissors. Just seems dangerous. (Luckily no injuries.)

And that conversation is the real reason Old Country Buffet went out of business

[@markjou9799]

This was my very first job. I worked for Old Country Buffet back in 1996-1997(16-17 years old). I came home from school one day and my parents told me to not return until I had a job. To make a long story I ended up here and worked at Old Country Buffet throughout my high school years. I was hired in making 4.75 per hour. I was the carver/line server. It was a good job and I met a lot of nice people there. Most of the people I worked with were all still in high school. The food was actually good and you were able to eat for free on the days you worked. I believe the dinner price for the buffet at the time was 6.85 and the lunch buffet was 5 dollars. We also had a breakfast buffet on the weekends. I do remember we had frequent guests who would come in for the breakfast buffet and wouldn’t leave until dinner time and the manager would get mad and kick them out lol. One thing though that hurt me the most while working for Old Country Buffet was at the end of the night all the leftover food got thrown in the “slop can” and was disposed of in the dumpster.

[@coyotelong4349]

That’s awful to hear about all that food waste- Such a big problem in our country, sadly

[@alukuhito]

That's crazy people would stay there from breakfast to dinner. You'd think there'd be a time limit. Nobody should be eating for more than 3 hours.
