    20+ Food service employees who had interesting days at work: 'Less than 10 minutes after opening, 30 clowns walked in'

    What's the most exciting thing you did at your job today? Did you get to cut open a massive wheel of Parmesan cheese? Did you serve meals to 30 clowns? Did you witness 5 cheesecakes that were baked for 3 days straight (by accident)? If you answered "no" to all 3 questions, that's just too bad, because these back-of-house restaurant workers had more intriguing days at work than you did. 

    Check out a bunch of people who had interesting days at work, both good and bad. Then, read about some folks who are having a rough day, like one person who "bumped into this guy who was holding 15 milkshakes."

      Got called in for a double. Less than ten minutes after opening thirty clowns walked in.
      via u/Iatemydoggo

      This person didn't get the best photo, but there really were 30 clowns who stayed for 2 and a half hours! "Didn't even get a balloon animal," this worker joked.

      There's just something extra refreshing and rejuvenating about a chilly sob session. Also, you can often scream in these and the sound is pretty muffled. Get all those frustrations out!

      Real doers, not thinkers. er Hills Our ice machine went down for a couple days, so our maintenance guys delivered us a couple hundred pounds of ice. Turns out they aren't the sharpest knife in the kitchen and put all of it right in front of the walk-in freezer door, leaving a new body of water not yet charted, on my reefer floor. Be Exec., they said, it will be fun, they said.

      Ever wondered what cheesecake would look like after 3 days in the oven?

      Someone really messed up. These were left in the oven, overnight, more like almost 72 hours. Saturday afternoon until now. (Sun/Mon are my off days every week)

      No one uses these ovens so no one checked them. A pastry cook clearly forgot about them and the ovens have been on low. They don't smell like burning products so no one noticed, until the other pastry cook went looking for cheesecakes. I'm dumbfounded, I've seen people leave things in ovens over night before, but for 3 nights?????
      via u/Coffee13lack

      One commenter suggested that these might taste like ashes and have the texture of astronaut ice cream, and I agree. These look like they're just vaporized cheesecakes at this point.

      Still my favorite thing I found in my kitchen(threw it away instantly) ITEM: MIK? DATE: 1-24 EMP: USE BY: 10-30 MT WTH F Found in SA SU cncco.com Microwave
      via u/oldbob12

      It also appears to be roughly 10 months out of date, and after being "found in the microwave," I can't even imagine what kind of taste and smell this abomination would have.

      If management won't learn the easy way, they'll certainly learn the hard way

      This is an insane safety hazard, right? I'm not crazy? Hanging between the dishwashing pit and prep station

      Let's just hope they moved this before someone got hurt!

      This worker reports that that's a salt and pepper mix

      Now that's how you properly season a tomato 4/29
      via u/ImTooHigh

      I didn't know restaurants made a mix of the 2 ingredients, but it makes sense. You learn something new every day.

      Putting touch screens on a deep fryer? Come on, man

      Only $60,000 worth of touchscreens messed up this time!! Frymaster
      via u/Boogedyinjax

      This person reports that after just 2 months of use, these things are fried, pun intended. They're now stuck with broken fryers they can't drain. What a headache for the entire kitchen staff.
