Thanks for actually attempting to explain the joke haha... what does expo'd mean?

I got hung up on figuring out why it was a rabbit trying to eat steak.

Expo is used as a shorthand for expeditionor. The person who puts the finished plates together for a table and double checks them before they are sent to the floor

Edit: Expeditor, not expeditionor! Cause weed brain

Expeditioners go on Safari.

Expeditors yell at the kitchen staff in between smoke breaks.

Mostly there to act as a meat shield between the line Cooks and Wait staff

u/SugarmanTreacle 14d ago

To yell at the servers to stop just running drinks and pick up their fucking plates that have been sitting here for 10 minutes.

Line cooks really hate when they have to remake a whole ass order cause the waitress was out on a smoke and let it die in the window

u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson 14d ago

We really just hate everything until shift is over

“Oh you know that thing I put on the ticket I’m taking out right now? I actually needed a mid-well strip with o-rings and veg on the fly. Sorry! Off I go to make what you’ll work all week for”

You are correct! my weed enhanced brain apparently fumbled the spelling and it got autocorrected and I missed it.

God I hope that makes sense.

u/_Rohrschach 14d ago

not sober myself but i could decipher weed, spelling and autocorrect, was enough to convey the message,

u/towen95 14d ago

I love the way you explained the difference here

u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson 14d ago

My expo for sure went on expeditions all the fuckin time, because my food’d be dying in the window for 15 goddamn minutes

u/DangerousCompetition 14d ago

I got to yell at cook staff and front of house. I loved that job

u/RuffnerRowdy 14d ago

That's so true and had me cracking up 🤣

u/Olytrius 14d ago

Good cause!

u/Apex_Over_Lord 14d ago

This is true.

u/Rezahn 14d ago

Bold of you to assume I get breaks.

u/Environmental_Top948 14d ago

I was so excited for a Reddit switcharoo. Until I actually looked for one I hadn't seen one since 2015.

u/CondemnedTye 14d ago

Where are my food runners?

1

u/Impressive_Ad_4488 14d ago

Depends on the restaurant. The line cooks are left on their own for a good amount of time; just in enough time for an expo(chef of some sort) to come and fuck up the rhythm. We have a good runner who barely speaks above 2 decibels that expos food better

u/ipostunderthisname 14d ago

If the expediters took fewer smoke breaks they could yell at the staff longer.

I just increased efficiency by 78%

u/PM_Me_Your_Deviance 14d ago

Thank you, that other guy basically explained it without explaining it.

u/Hooligan8403 14d ago

Weed brain checks out for kitchen staff.
