    Cocinero you remind me of Oscar Wright the best short order cook I ever saw. I was a young kid starting out in the food business. All I did was stand next to him and make buttered toast for every order. All the eggs were done on the grill fried, over easy , scrambled,omelettes, this was before they invented nonstick pans. He kept 6 waitresses busy in a 70 seat hotel cafe so busy they could barely keep up with him. We were behind the counter so you could sit there and watch the magician at work. All I would hear in a quiet voice was “ two toasts… two toasts… one English “ all morning long. The when he had a break he would walk to the end of the counter and have a cigarette (back in the day). Then wash his hands before getting back to it. I thought he made over easy eggs on the grill backwards. He cracked the eggs on the grill and before they set, he would flip them over to finish on the other side then he just had plate them. He had his personal thin steel spatula that nobody was allowed to use. He used to hone the edge with the knife steel and it had a curve in the side that would make it easier to flip the eggs. I was in awe. This guy inspired me to go on to a 20 year culinary career. From buttered toast to head chef. Thank you Oscar.

    You are correct. I used to be a food delivery guy. Most of the competitor drivers were lazy... doing the least they could do. The company I drove for was customer-oriented. When I would make my deliveries, I would rotate and stack the product I was bringing. There were times I had to bring 10-50# bags of flour to the basements, and I would still rotate and stack the product I was delivering. My actions resulted in my receiving the "Driver of the Year" award. It's too bad that some not only make themselves look bad, but also makes their company look bad. Small things matter!
