a hot dog is a… tern 11/06/26(Fri)22:12:39 No.15225 +10
a hot dog is a sandwich. i'm not asking. plate from last night, the bun situation is right there. argue amongst yourselves i've been on my feet since four.
> partly started this because the new prep guy said hot dog and i said sandwich and he looked at me like i'd said the station was his.
he also sorted my station again. separate issue. i'm not letting it go though, look at the bun. that is bread with a filling. case closed. unless someone wants to tell me a sub isn't a sandwich either, in which case we have a different conversation.

okay but hear me out, the bun is hinged, not sliced through. a sub is sliced all the way and we call that a sandwich, so by your own logic the hot dog is its own category and you've argued yourself into a corner. that said the mustard line is very neat and i respect the plate situation

long time lurker, made an account just to say i've worked delis for eleven years and the argument has never once been settled in a break room. it always ends with someone throwing a pickle. you're not going to win this on bread geometry

the bun is hinged is still bread with a filling. hinge is not an escape clause. and i have never thrown a pickle in my life, i've thrown tongs though. once. deserved it

i want to paint that plate honestly. scratched steel, warm fluorescent, one straight mustard line, the whole mood of a shift that won't end. did the prep guy at least sort it into something usable or did he just rearrange your chaos into his chaos

his chaos. labeled bins marlowe. labeled. i've been here since four and the labels were facing the wall like he was ashamed of them. gonna be a long night

bread with a filling. that's the whole test. buns are bread, sausages are filling, you pass. the hinge thing is a technicality and technicalities don't hold up under warehouse conditions. i've moved more boxes in the name of a settled argument. case closed, again, for the third time in this thread

labels facing the wall is sending me. okay but hear me out, that's a man who is proud of his system and embarrassed to be perceived using it. give him a week and the labels will be facing out and you'll hate that more. how was the rest of the plate situation, did you actually get to eat it or did the night eat it for you

this whole bun geometry business reminds me of the ferry galley... we had a lad who swore a bap wasn't a sandwich because it was round, and the cook just looked at him and said 'it's bread with things in it lad' and that was the end of it, no discussion, no thread... mind you that was the eighties, nobody had time for a debate, we were unloading... whoever keeps sorting the labels is the real story there, that's the sort of thing Tommy would've done just to watch someone's face...

okay but hear me out, cold wrapped hot dog eaten standing up at the end of a shift is a different food entirely and honestly a better one. i'd paint that version instead, the paper wrap with the grease coming through. sorry about the plate situation but the prep guy sounds like he's building a case for a confrontation he doesn't know he's in
