Talking in the kitchen of a restaurant..DISGUSTING

Well I was more specifying fast food restaurants. But sometimes I am so hungry I have to get something to eat quick before I have a belly ache. But one time I was just there, and I ordered a chicken sandwhich. Firstly when I entered the store the cashiers are laughing so uncontrollably and talking back and forth. I have no problem with that but when I have to wait over 2 minutes before they notice I am trying to hand them my money it gets to me. Then the conversation continued about how Mrs Pam is boasting with an ugly car that her ex boyfriend buy her. It was all mix up and gossip. And a they made my sandwhich. You can clearly see from the cashier, then they stop to talk again while I am just waiting here starving. Then they start laughing again. I like tried to get their attention, they saw my facial expression and she continued to make my sandwhich. Her head held down and she started to focus on my sandwhich again, then a laughter bursts out of her mouth and there she is over my food. Head still down and laughing.

I doubt I would go there again. You could go to their website and complain about the bad service.

You see celticeagle I always feel sorry for people and I honestly wouldn't want anyone to loose their jobs you know. I might a general complaint though, but that is only if I have to eat there because there is no where else near by and I see the same thing happen again.

Well in my country, I have to differ. The people who usually becomes cook are the ones that didn't make it through school. The owner of the business just teaches them how to cook that specific meal and nothing else. SO they do that the exact same thing every minute. I don't spit when I talk but I have witness so many people where I am from do it. There mouth becomes water works. Not to be disrespectful but that is why I am so afraid to eat in public. I do it when I am starving but otherwise, I try to stay away from it. Unless it is a really reputable restaurant. Oh sorry by the way I was talking fast food restaurants.

I am actually surprised that they don't have to wear something over their mouths. In the States, we have to wear our hair pulled back and a hair net and plastic gloves. I suppose a mouth piece would only make sense as well.

I do prefer to cook at home but at times it is impossible to go home and just cook. Sometime I have classes up until 12 o clock mid night. In cases like that, I have to eat somewhere so that I have enough energy to continue the day. Now I am talking the places that you can see the access to the kitchen. You know those places where you can see them doing everything. I see nothing wrong with them talking on the phone. I also see nothing generally wrong with them talking to each other, because most time it does increases productivity. What I do not like is when they are talking about personally not job related stuff and their mouths are directly over my food. Of course there are times when jobs get boring and they have to talk to entertain their selves. If that is the case there is a very simple solution. They can wear a mouth cover. What do you think about that?

Wrong ingredients could really spoil it. Especially if you are starving hungry. You have maids?

I was a little surprise because you hardly find maids here where I live. I remember when I told my dad I wanted a maid when I was smaller, he gave me a talk about doing things for myself. But I still want a maid.. Especially when I finish medical school, a surgeon will be really busy. Might be stress from work.

Yes I do!

I hate garlic so much. I don't know people stomach it. There are so many things that bother me with a kitchen you know. So many. If it is a popular restaurant or a reputable restaurant, i usually have no problem. But if it is a very small local restaurant or so, I feel very uncomfortable.

I do cook for myself when I get the opportunity but some time I have a long day away from home and in such cases I have to eat somewhere else to survive.

Me and lovelesskid, great friends in real life. Stop looking for praises from the wrong places. And I would never do that, because she knows that.

lolz a swear you guys are crazy its just one silly topic why do you have to argue so much and i cant choose sides because both of you are right so you two work it out

I do understand why some people is okay with it. But put your self in my shoes where you are grown in such badly behave place. Where everything seems disgusting. In jamaica here it is like people cant control what is in there mouth. Well the lower people if you understand what I am saying. You still have people up on the top of the ladder that shows elitism.

You see it these fast food restaurants in the country side of my country. Or better yet said the rural side of my country hire base on relationship. Not on qualification. Most of them have not completed to be qualified to provide such services. I know this from surveys as well as the news paper. So some of them aren't even aware of what not to do while cooking. You know I have no problem with general talking but I would feel much more comfortable if they wore something over their mouth. I have experience too many times, people are talking to me and accidentally saliva flew out their mouth and catch me. I know it was an accident, some of them apologize because they are aware of it but others don't because they had no clue. I guess that is why I am so scared when I relate cooking to talking, because of the possibilities that arise. As for sick people cooking, that is also one thing I can't take. If I go in a restaurant and manage to see or hear a sneeze one time. I might get uncomfortable and jittery. Two or more times I am going to feel too uncomfortable and worried to eat in that place.

Yes that is correct. I do feel that way. Quite bad indeed. It makes me feel uncomfortable. The things I start to assume, might start to get wild and nasty. But better safe than sorry my mom always told me.

Well to be quite honest if they are going to be talking excessively I would honestly appreciate if they would wear something over their mouth. Just something to make sure nothing happens. But you are right some things should not be discussed in places where I am eating. Especially talking about disgusting stuff.

There is nothing wrong with talking in general at a job. But your place in my shoes where in society around you. When people are talking saliva constantly escape their mouth. It is the tone in which they talk and it happens most time when people are talking jamaican creole. When you grow up in such surroundings I just start to feel really uncomfortable concerning that. If someone looking about my meal is going to talk in the kitchen, don't do it directly over my food or wear a mouth cover. And to be absolutely honest, I do not talk when I am preparing food for anyone except me. If i know that food is going to share I will either listen some music and chill. And if I need to talk, if it is must. I always move from over the pot, or over the food. I guess it is just me. I really respect that you have not attacked me even though you disagree with me.

I am far from being what you have just stated and I don't have a general problem with talking in the kitchen. What I do have a problem with is talking without a mouth cover over my food. It is as simple as that. I don't allow it at all. If someone come to me and is going to hold a conversation with me. I am sitting down while he is standing up. Then I will cover both my drinks and my food. This is me. And I don't see why you are behaving like that. I am trying to hold a quite decent discussion.
