@@McBehrer I do this as a busser. Had a lady snap her fingers at me and tell me to wipe up a minor spill that I would have wiped anyway and now I’m EXTRA careful w my cup stacks lmao
I had a coworker who every 30 minutes in service would call out "everyone drink water!" and everyone would have to call back water after taking a drink, no exceptions or excuses. One of my favorite people I got to work with to this day
My dad worked a sink. His team had “The Guy” - labeled as a server but only ever helped out in the back; running drinks to the kitchen crew, relieving one the dishwashers every so often, and just keeping the whole team running like a well oiled machine.
That was my job. I was technically a chef but we would get so busy that the head guys would take over. We had a smaller kitchen so I would just run around and help people do their jobs
@hoodyfrank7405 eww screw that. I love that my job is mine. That's it. I don't have to help anyone and it's never to ceazy busy. Working in the food industry is the worst and anyone who says they like it is full on lying.
@@kitten-whisperer what I liked about it was I could buy and smoke weed in the back plus make my own food. I saved up a good bit since I could walk to work and I only ate there.
Had a guy like that at a company I used to work Mexican dude spoke no English knew nothing but motherfucker was great for morale when he got fired had to ask my boss with these words what the fuck is wrong with you better bring his back here and give him a raise
Okay so this stumbled back into my feed, and I noticed Aaron looks down when he's getting close to them because kitchen floors are stupidly slippery when it's busy. Our boy is growing up 💜
Plus those 5-star “reviews” that keep mentioning his name do help his job security, no? 😅 Everyone has an Aaron on their team (they mean well and try hard, the roof and floor are low for their skill set, but their full-heart and team-minded focus don’t hurt)
2 ways to never get fired from any job. Be irreplaceable to the company, or be irreplaceable to your coworkers. There's a guy on a professional soccer team that, comparatively, sucks at playing, but he boosts the morale of the team so much he gets paid millions to sit on the sidelines.
@@bryanhugh8905 not sure if that was sarcasm but the technical answer would be no you cannot just drink from the sink. That would be contaminating the water sources. Three different sinks: food prep sinks, dishwashing sinks and handwashing sinks. None of which are suitable to drink from. The video is just representing the cooks in a very hot kitchen and being brought refreshing ice water by a server who really didn’t have to do that and took the time to care.
Pro tip for any newbies in the service industry: smile all the time (this might only work if you’re a girl idk) and always ask the kitchen crew if they need something to drink when you come on your shift, and midway through (or ask when you leave if it’s the day shift.) Then it doesn’t matter how good or bad you are, everyone likes you. Also every now and again bring coffee if possible, or a pizza because people get tired of the food there.
"Hows everyone doing on water" is a great thing to say in any active industry and can save lives as well as not having to shut the jobsite down when the ambulance shows up after they pass out.
If I'm making family meal, I go around to the servers and ask if there's any allergies or restrictions. It's no fun unless everyone can get some. Also, if there's a new cook or youre new, please introduce yourself. I'm more likely to do extra for someone I just know the name of than blonde #3
For me was the reverse… 1 or 2 degrees and kitchen open since 4am for events: I was a barista opening at 6:30, the miracle for chefs receiving coffee haha
That monster made me relate more than anything. Im usually the Aaron in the kitchen getting drinks but we also do this team building exercise where we get a bunch of like 2oz cups and pour out some rebull, clink our glasses and down them like a shot. It gives everyone energy and we all celebrate working together.
Yeah we each bring our own sports or energy drink to put our waters next to. We do it to distinguish who's water is who's but also none of us sleep enough 🤣
@@kittydream_4717 at least you had water too its better to not drink an energy drink at all when its hot because it will just dehydrate faster then nothing.
That is so accurate! used to work in the kitchen and it's so easy to just forget to drink enough during a rush. When a server/expediter catches that and makes sure you take a minute to drink some water it's just the best.
That's why I always make sure to ask the cooks if they need water whenever I do the rounds, even if I'm not their boss, because the kitchen is fucking sweltering at times. 😂
@@WolfbloodJakeWilliams that’s honestly really sweet. They must really appreciate you if they take those steps to show how much they value your health.
I was on both sides of this. First I was a cook so I was appreciative when I got water/a refill while getting slammed. Once I became a server I made sure to do exactly that any time I had a breather and/or was able to interrupt the line for a second to check on them. All I ever wanted in the end for my efforts was a thank you. Can’t ever ask for more.
I totally understand especially when all the dishwashers quit and someone just brings crushed iced soda best feeling ever you end up feeling like you owe that person your life 😂
This makes me appreciate how well he does these characters. They aren't just a voice and a wig. He's got mannerisms and everything, and they are so distinct. Really impressive.
Okay as a chef myself, that monster he pulled out almost made me cry. This has happened to me from servers to even my sous giving me a monster and they become my favourite employee of the day!
I got teary eyed instantly bc Aaron maybe just barely passing as a waiter/server but thing like these show how much he cares for his colleagues at Bistro Huddy❣️ 😭He reminds me a bit of Butters from Southpark❣️
So insanely real. I worked a kitchen where the air went out once, in Texas summer, and when one of the servers came back with ice waters after a rush I straight up almost cried. Aaron being a real hero here lmao
I ran food and expedited a little ways back. I miss those people so much those guys were like a family to me. As busy as it got the SECOND it slowed down I was grabbing something cold for the cooks/chef's. They never made me feel unappreciated. Even when we fought we all looked out for each other.
What I enjoy so much about Bistro Huddy is how you give every character a chance to shine. None of them get dumped on all the time, and I find that to be a good life lesson. Look for the good in everyone.
I throw a half pot on for the chief regardless of if I want some. Always check before throwing any out and turning the heater off. Make sure everyone has there favorite drinking receptacle despite how unorthodox that vessel maybe
@@Psychonaut165 dude Red Bull is such a cheap employee incentive though...I can imagine the workers comp for caffeine induced heart attacks might be bad though...
@@JacquelineUnderwood it is. But you know how middle - upper management is. Nothing is ever good enough and they are always looking for ways to pinch pennies and work their employees to death. It’s been a point of contention for years now. “Why are we spending 20$ a day on redbulls when the bar only uses 3-4 a day?”
@@Psychonaut165 yeaaaah I had a Cáfe who did that. I was team lead and just told my staff to have as many drinks as they want within reason because that has been the original policy and upper management changed it because they were calculating on customer cost instead of material cost... like y'all already don't let them take tips, saying it's corporate policy but it's not, and pay minimum wage. Ik how much y'all make, just let them have drinks to keep them going, goddamn
As someone who suffers every day the unberable heat of the kitchen I always appreciate our servers as they constantly ask if we want ice coffee or cold drinks, in exchange we give them food, desserts or ice creams. Even if we just arrive to our shifts or if they're busy as hell, they would take time to ask us and bring whatever drink they offer. We would literally kill whoever messes with those servers.
Yes! Folks have no idea how hot kitchens can get. But our creative side and love for delivering wonderful dishes keeps us there. My happiest days were working in food service.
This is so true. If a server or anyone from the front of the house bothers to bring drinks to the kitchen, it's very much appreciated. Especially on a very busy night. No one working the line has time to duck out & stand in line at the bar, hoping the bartender has time to pour them half a dozen waters or soft drinks. My late husband was a chef, & a large guy- 6'5", 350lbs... he'd sweat buckets on those busy, hot summer nights, so whoever was working would always make sure he had a few pitchers of ice water lined up in the reach-in cooler, & a stack of clean towels at the ready to wipe his head & face down. I always felt bad for him, but he'd just laugh & say "I LOVE this sh*t, bring it on!!". Then he'd turn the CD player up louder & jam out while he was cooking. I've never known anyone who absolutely loved their job like he did. When he got ill, & then disabled & couldn't work anymore, it about killed him. His entire sense of self was tied up into being Don the chef. Very sad. But, the awesome memories of workingwith him for many years keeps me going, now that he's gone. Restaurant work can be tough, but it can also be a ton of fun if you're working with the right crew. That's why I watch this channel- it reminds me of the good & bad, & I get so many laughs from Drew's skits.😊
The fact that you make these and they’re SPOT ON with everything!!! I was in the biz for 10 years and worked every position possible and everything is true😂😂😅😂
Went to a summer camp one year. This place was all outdoors except the kitchen. It was around 110 degrees outside one year, and everyone in the kitchen was boiling alive! But the 5 cooks still managed to feed the camp of around 200! Thank you chefs!
This reminds me of my old coworker Jackie. Whenever it was busy, she’d bring all the cooks their favorite drink. Shout out to Jackie for being a real one!
Y'all don't even understand how on Point this is. That kitchen gets brutal , plus that rush is hell. When a server takes a moment to look out for ya boys in the BOH it hits different! The love in that moment for that server from the trenches is real!!!!
@@jonahdoyle1626 humourous for the character though, if it were a truly heartfelt 'thanks man" with a cut forward to "What the beep is this ticket about , did you send this?!" a few minutes later. Poor aaron doing so well as a coworker, but not as a server
You write the most accurate restaurant based comedy I've ever seen. Like waiting was a funny movie, and sorta accurate to being a server, but this series is next level. I've showed so many of these to my gf, many of them she doesn't get, but oh christ almighty do I understand them
even that would have been a relief i bet... those kitchen are hotter than the sun man... i hated going to the kitchen when i wated tables. i loved the staff but it was too hot back there for me. id ask them how they did it and they said, alot of water lol. i started bringing them in iced coffees on the super hot weekends, cuz, wed all be up into the wee hours partying after closing, and frankly needed the caffeine lol
Back when I was a bartender. I ocassiolnally brought cold waters to the kitchen staff. Can confirm they reacted the same way😂 loved the kitchen staff❤️
I was always that person I'd check on my cooks multiple times a night and ya know what?! They always took amazing care of me in return! Give and take people!
that would have been heartbreaking, especially the fact i would die laughing if the head chef was too busy yellling at him for spilling it to remember that poor aaron was just trying to get them a cold drink
Owners always want to save money in restaurant construction. Even though the blueprints always call for it at first, kitchen cooling is the easiest thing to cut major costs.
I worked somewhere as a waiter but helped prep a lot on busy nights. The bossman gave the kitchen staff water bottles with our names on them as an appreciation gift. 100% would recommend to any boss out there wanting to make your crew feel appreciated. Plus it’s hard to get them confused with anything when the health inspector comes around.
This is wholesome! I remember those Saturday shift, extra busy in the kitchen, when an Aaron would come to bring us drinks 😍 I miss that a little, to be honest.
Chef: you never rang it in you fuck! Aaron: yes I di---oooohhh..can you make that on the fly. Oh &sub the broccoli for the sweet potato medley special from 2 weeks ago?
XD This is so real for me, worked in a kitchen for a long time and on those really hot days or days in summer when the ventilation would kick out servers who brought the kitchen drinks were like a angel sent by god. Couldn't appreciate them enough
Ours was a super spacey girl who wouldn't even finish a sentence before she wandered off but would always come through with the lemonades with the housemade seasonal syrups from the cocktail list that quarter. Such a sweetheart, so airheaded, yet so intelligent.
I swear the bar was heaven sent to us, that dude whipped us up red bull slushies our whole shift and a laced one for the end of the shift. That type of support is unmatched
I once asked a waitress to bring me a drink with ice, we were busy else I would have gotten it myself, she brought it to me and I tipped her 20 bucks. I never had soda from work be so refreshing. Small gestures like that can mean a lot especially in a restaurant.
