Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

But you'd really have to be an ass to some how get yourself burnt by a grill lol If u can manage that, u deserve to be burnt.


When you are cleaning it while it's sorching hot, things can happen.


my friend works at an In 'N Out (which is only on the west coast), and one of his coworkers put a hot spatula onto his arm. The dude just came outta nowhere and put it onto my friend's arm. His coworker was then fired after a few days.

I have an idea, take your high class white ass and work at Dixie Outfitters. That way you don't have to worry about minorities. :wink:

I've never worked in one but for a lot of people, it's their first job and no shame in that. It's money coming in and it's experience in a working environment.

That is why you switch it off when you clean it and let it cool.

If that's true, I'm never eating KFC again. But I think by law they have to, it would be too much of a health (and subsequent legal) risk if they didn't.

They have to wash their hands a lot, that is a law. Employees must wash their hands once every hour.

You don't have time to turn off the grill and wait for it to cool during working hours. You have to just scrap that shit off as fast as you can start working again. You don't have the luxury of waiting 20 minutes.

I'm really not sure how they get away with it but as long as it conforms with the health regulations I guess it's possible.

Have you ever tried to tell a Mexican who speaks limited English that it is his job to clean the restrooms? How about telling him that you need a #6 WITHOUT mustard? How about giving him simple instructions like go dump out the grease? I practically have to spell things out to them and you don't have the time to do that.

God damn, you are a fucktard.

Basically. Minority is pretty self-explanatory. If your a minor part of society, and you are most likely unappreciated or aliented from the majority. So in Riot's case, he's talking about the Mexicans, Asians or other foriegn people who don't speak english too well.

Big-D, I think you're over anaylzing what he said. He wasn't trying to be offensive to minorities, but truthfully I think it does make it a lot harder to communicate and work with them. You're not helping by calling him a "redneck" either. You're acting the way you don't want the "minorities" to be treated.

Its hard not to say something about stuff like this. In my neighborhood the slash tires, break windows, and yell slander all because of your race. Honestly i think everybody is the same and racists are crazy. Never say a minority is different than anyone else beacause of hard communication. Everybody has a native tongue, and that is no reason to show prejudice. Deal with it.

I don't see how it's prejudice. He's had experiences where he can't understand what they're saying, or they can't understand what he's saying. Why should anyone have to "deal with it" when instead they could learn English properly instead of reducing the quality of work by not being able to speak it. From what he said, it's not that he can't understand their accent or whatever, they just flat out don't speak English.

Personally if I was moving to Mexico or any foreign country the first thing I'd do is learn their language to an acceptable level. I don't understand why this is seemingly waived when people move to English speaking countries.

:roll:

Big-D, you are a great example of someone overracting over nothing. Why don't you calm down and come back when it's not that time of the month? I don't like working with people who struggle to understand and speak english, is that so bad? I don't hate them because of their skin color or because of their culture. I don't like it that I have to cover their asses because they can't understand a simple task. I'm sure they are just as confused and pissed as I am, but they are in America and they should learn our language.

What if you were working at a fast food place in Mexico with a bunch of Americans who didn't speak Spanish? It's lunch time and you have a lot of people in line waiting to get their food and place their orders. You have a lot of tables that need to be cleaned so people can eat at them. However, 75% of your work force struggles to understand ANYTHING you say and there is a large communcation gap between the two. Wouldn't you get pissed off at those Americans coming in and not learning Spanish? Wouldn't you get frustrated that they don't understand you? I think you would.

You are just looking for a reason to bitch. Well, bitch at someone who deserves it. I mean, I'm just white trash anyways.
