Cook smoking at takeaway?

125 replies

The person who owns and runs a takeaway near me is always smoking!
He smokes outside before starting the Cooking and sometimes in the evening between customers?
Would this give you the Ick and is it allowed?
Can you smoke and Cook for the Public?

Whatever you do, OP, don't read "Down and Out in Paris and London"

grunttheterrible · 26/06/2023 22:04

Most chefs smoke

Kinda unrelated but can someone tell me how to do the search please, I tried and it didn't work v well, I want to see other batshit takeaway threads

It’s probably different on different devices and whether you’re using the app. But on my phone through safari / the web, you click on the ‘search’ button on the bottom right, and then on the next page, click on words ‘Advanced search’.

There, you can enter a username, and if you enter the word takeaway’, loads of threads come up, relating to the OP and takeaways. It’s quite 😳

Jeez get a life looking up.ppls threads. I would never even think to do that. Says alot about you and trying to get people onto me. Pack.mentality hasn't bothered me. Nice try.

I can post what I like as long as I'm not breaking any rules.
I couldn't care less what you post, and have no.inclination to search you. Too much time on your hands for sure.

Err so what. Hardly a crime is it.
Do people really go searching to see what people post, what's the point. Scroll on by.

🤷🏻‍♀️ Neither would I - I didn’t even know about the AS function - but someone mentioned how many threads you’ve posted on this topic, thanks to ‘advanced search’ so I had a look.

Like you, I can also post what I like, within talk guidelines.

And if anyone has too much time on their hands, well… 😏

Yuck
Has he got orange stained fingers he's making your food with?

I've never met a smoker with orange fingers, maybe a tad yellow but never orange.

Tereseta · 26/06/2023 22:56

An guessing with all your threads/comments hating on takeaways you either live above one or you got short changed on a battered sausage when you were younger...

GameofStrife · 26/06/2023 22:57

Pahahahahahaha

Eyesopenwideawake · 26/06/2023 23:02

My DP once gutted a chicken and smoked whilst doing it. Got food poisoning as a result and sat on the toilet for two weeks.

Didn’t finish prepping the chicken either, the lazy git.

vodkaredbullgirl · 26/06/2023 23:05

Yikes a smoking chef, whatever next. 🙄

bladebladebla1 · 27/06/2023 06:56

Washes hands, job done. No worse than holding his Willy for a wee

It's an ex boyfriend. She wants him closed down

Your threads get more bizarre by the week.

SistersNotCisters · 27/06/2023 07:26

I worked in various restaurants from the age of 12, one particular place having new or agency chefs in every few months. I've only met a small handful of chefs who don't smoke.

londonrach · 27/06/2023 07:30

You find most cooks smoke.....yabu of course you can. Don't eat out

Yep, I’ve been and done advanced search….

Very enlightening and entertaining’

CrazyArmadilloLady · 27/06/2023 08:09

I mean…. someone raises the point, you’re going to take a look.

‘Too much time’ indeed….

GimmeSleep · 27/06/2023 08:15

It’s because we use takeaways, frees up so much
time…

BodyKeepingScore · 27/06/2023 08:56

Oh stop being so bloody precious. Given what I know of chefs, you're lucky smoking is all you've seen him do 🙄

I had to have a look too… WOW OP!! You really do hate takeaways!

EmpressSoleil · 27/06/2023 09:42

I ate at a place in Japan, small bar, semi circle of counter around a chef cooking on a grill. The chef wasn't smoking but people at the counter were. You'd have had a heart attack OP!

For me, I'm in my 50's so can still remember the times when people could smoke virtually anywhere. It's good times have changed but some people take it too far!
