Cafeteria Irony

Cafeteria food, everyone hates it. Why can’t they just cook a decent, tasty meal? Why does everything come with a sauce? Well those of you asking these ridiculous questions have obviously never worked in a kitchen before, or around food for that matter. My kitchen sense comes from three different jobs, in which I cooked, served, and cleaned up food for people.
As most people in America think alike, we all want our food fast, hot, and tasty. We demand good service, yet we treat servers like shit. But then again most American’s don’t have the slightest fucking clue as to what actually goes into preparing a meal, and how many people it takes to actually bring you your food.
For one, when you work in a cafeteria setting you are looking at huge amounts of traffic in a finite amount of time. You are expected to have the food prepared and ready to eat. But this feat isn’t easily accomplished, you have the chefs who set out the daily menus then you have cooks to prepare the food, busboys to fill the trays under the buffet and make sure it looks neat and tidy, and you also have dishwashers and cashiers. All of the people working with each other to make the process run smoothly and efficiently.
Yet no matter what the circumstances are, people still find it necessary to bitch and moan at the taste, color, and whatever else they can think about that’s wrong with the food. Again fucktard, think about the volume of food that needs to be made each day to feed your whining ass. That large amount of food that needs to be produced is obviously going to go bland somewhere, and is obviously not going to taste like your mom just made it.
But the irony of the whole rant here is that people will gripe about shit up and down, and yet they still eat there almost daily, and even more interesting is they still seem to dish out the money to pay for the meals each semester.
