One of the best things about working in a kitchen is that you are only in contact with like 5 people on a regular basis. So, you don't encounter the germs and generally don't get sick.
Servers? Servers are always sick. ALWAYS. When a server comes in sick, we refuse to let them on the line. We don't leave the safe haven of the kitchen. Because we all know what happens when one of us gets sick...we are all sick. At the same time. And it is a miserable fucking place to be when everyone is sick.
Two weeks ago a server came in sick, trotted back on the line and started talking to us before any of us realized he was sick. As soon as he sniffled and coughed, it was as if the Outbreak monkey was standing in front of us. Level 10 flip out. Screaming. Yelling. Frantic hand washing. I believe a few prayers were said.
Slowly this cold has worked its way through the servers. It has been a week of coughing and runny noses while we all huddle in the corner of the line hoping that we were safe.
In walks one of my coworkers yesterday, "I feel like shit." SON OF A BITCH. We were infiltrated.
I woke up this morning with burning lungs and a wicked cough. And a fever. AWESOME.
That server is dead to me.

ROFLMAO. Oh my gosh - not laughing that you're sick, but WOW, I had never thought of it like this. No wonder you assholes hide in the kitchen!! :)
Hell yeah we do. We don't want the public's germs. :)
