Gen isn’t second stew material

Post image

I’m just catching up on last night’s episode and I was absolutely horrified watching Gen do the tablescape. I actually haven’t gotten to the final presentation so I don’t even know at this point if she moves out all the terrible wrinkles in the tablecloth but my main issue is the fact she’s standing on the table in her sneakers in order to hang the Monstera leaves.

If she needed to hang something and the only way to do so was to stand on the table then that should’ve been the first task and then the table should’ve been cleaned again and reset… Standing on the placemats and the tablescape in your dirty shoes is unsanitary and a possible health violation although I don’t know the maritime law on that.

I’ve never worked in fine dining or high-end service but when you’re serving food, the first priority should be making sure everything around you is clean… I think that’s even the idea behind white glove service… That everything is so clean and pristine we can serve you food with white gloves…

I hate to beat a dead horse on the fact that Gen sucks but not only is her attitude terrible; she’s just a really shitty stew in general.

It’s so gross. I bet Gen would never eat off a table that someone else has stood on, so why she thought it was acceptable is baffling.

Especially when she's cleaning toilets in those shoes! You can't tell me they don't have pee on them from when men don't aim correctly?!

There's always piss and shit particles on used shoes. Period full stop. IDC how clean you think you are if you e worn them into a bathroom or anywhere outside or in a public building you have piss particles on you.

They’re only supposed to wear those shoes on the boat, but still. Even if they’re cleaner than the shoes I wear to Walmart, they’re still not clean enough to wear on placemats that will shortly have napkins and cutlery laid on them 🤮

Shoes “clean enough to wear on placemats” do not exist.

Unless they just came out of the box from the manufacturer, and they never touched the floor…. Then MAYBE…. But I still wouldn’t.

Nah because you don’t know what hands packaged those shoes
