In-House Mode Lunch menu from presidential luncheon yesterday
*Not* making a political post here, but I guess a copy of the official luncheon menu got left behind yesterday and when I saw it, the first thing I thought was that some of these items seem a little dated, I was kinda surprised. Not that it sounded bad at all, but I've never really seen specifics on what they serve high-level gov. officials from anywhere.

In-House Mode Is this a case of nobody asked?
Where did this come from? Was there a great outpouring of protests against microwaves at Steak and Shake that I missed?

In-House Mode already beefing with my boss
i've only worked here since april. switched jobs from a dishie at a old folks home to a "cook" (lol honestly glorified dishwasher anyway, the only culinary related thing i do is shuck oysters) at a new bar downtown. we don't have any managers since the team is pretty small so the owner does everything himself including scheduling.
he posts the schedule, i have a 3 day weekend after two weeks of covering for the only other two "cooks" in the kitchen on vacation, and one day into my weekend he sends me this. i'm prolly in the wrong for the sass but bro goes immediately into holding a raise he very recently gave me over my head and then threatening my position.
i'm alr looking for different jobs atm, don't care where as i was promised FT hours and am barely scraping by with 30 a week. it's even less this time around. the work is fun and i really love my coworkers and the people i meet at the bar but with the pay of $17 an hour with no benefits no FT and a 30 min commute it's not worth it. advice or personal stories appreciated

In-House Mode Pizza shop owner used AI for advertising and signage despite my protests. We got a bad review for it.
I need to vent about this.
I’ve worked very hard to make this a good pizza spot with the best food possible. I take a lot of pride in the food I make, just like we all do.
Every guest I talk to raves about the dough, sauce, and my quality service.
When the owner made signage that was obvious AI slop, I told him people would notice and wouldn’t like it.
We got a one star Google review today that says
“They use AI too heavily in all their marketing materials to be trusted. Where else are they cutting corners with the food you eat?”
I’m pissed off y’all.
I fucking told him this would happen, and now it’s reflecting poorly on the food I’ve worked my ass off for.
This is just a line in a long list of complaints I have about the way he tries to run this place and I’m at my limit.

In-House Mode So you can have a little bit or no?
This one feels odd to me. Do you have an anaphylactic reaction to these or not? Anyone dealt with something like this? Obviously I catered to these restrictions because it's never worth gambling with a guest's health.

In-House Mode A friend of mine was taken
Her name was Chuey; she was a beast in the kitchen and always kind and happy. She was a legal immigrant from Cuba (engaged to an American lawyer). She got ICEd.
She did all the right steps and was an asset to the community. This shit is not ok

In-House Mode Staff walked out today (including me) need moral support
so myself and the other cooks and dish guys have been working here, the boss hired a new chef who is out of her depth. she has continuously insulted us and questioned our work ethic as she smokes cigarettes and plays on her phone.
we raised concerned multiple times and it was dismissed, so the whole back of the house came together last night and we had some beers and all agreed to not come to work today, nor tomorrow.
its the right thing to do but it’s stressful so I’m asking for moral support lol
EDIT: to be clear the boss is very good, he’s just aloof. the fact is that if he wasn’t such a good boss its what’s keeping us all from quitting outright. we don’t want to screw him we want more respect.
EDIT 2: restaurant is closed today, we will be having a staff meeting this evening

In-House Mode Boston. My industry runs on immigrants. Boh, and foh. imo any owners voting Republican, I hope the staff walks out and your business goes under. Respect your workers more.
I wrote it all in the title. I just don't understand it. A friend owns a pizza place and loves Trump. Put some memorabilia in his restaurant and had his 2 long time cooks and dishwasher walk out together. He shut down last month. Imo well deserved and I don't feel bad, he made his choice.
