Really?!? Mr. Prima Donna......

There are some people who just really need to get over themselves. They are legends in their own mind, and only their mind.

Our chef, we’ll call him Mr. Prima Donna, got pissed off and stomped out last night. So what was the point that was being proved? That he is in reality a nine year old boy in a man’s body? (last night’s incident would point to yes)

There are little glitches that happen every day, it’s the nature of the business, it’s the nature of life. We just handle them and move on. Throwing a fit doesn’t fix anything, but it can certainly add unnecessary bull shit to a situation.

Another point that was proved….(and I think this is true no matter what field you are in) it doesn’t matter how “credentialed” you are, what’s written on a piece of paper doesn’t mean you have the wherewithal to do the job, if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. (I couldn’t resist throwing that in) Things get busy and hectic on a daily basis, again, it’s the nature of the business. You’ve got a lot of people running around during the dinner rush, communicating many different things, sometimes all at the same time… but it’s what we do, whether one is cooking or making drinks or waiting on multiple tables at the same time. You just power through it.

Just because one happens to land a position of responsibility, doesn’t mean that one is a responsible person……(another point that was proved)….thank God for the rest of the kitchen staff, who have proven themselves to be steady and reliable, day after day, handle any glitch that comes along, and always get the job done.

So Mr. Prima Donna, I have no idea what’s going on in your mind, and I don’t really care…..all I can tell you is what’s going on in my mind. All your yelling, and making nasty comments to everyone else, calling people stupid, etc. (you get the picture) has accomplished one thing: You have lost any chance of anyone having any respect for you. You have thrown your credibility down the drain…..and you ain’t gonna get it back!

Perhaps you would be better suited to flipping burgers at McDonald’s.
