Scene: We're having pancakes for breakfast, and I'm at the grill flipping pancakes like a mad woman. As service time approaches, I'm delegating the set up of the serving line to my (sometimes not so helpful) kitchen helpers.
this girl: "Helper 1, could you go into dry storage and get the syrup, please? It'll be on the same shelf as the salad dressings."
Helper 1 goes into dry storage, and I look over to see her rooting through the cooler that's back there.
this girl: "No, Helper 1, it's in the back, not the cooler." (This bit isn't surprising, as that seems to be a common mistake around here. Do 'dry storage' and 'stand up cooler' sound the same to you? Yeah, heaven knows why it's a common mistake.)
Helper 1 comes out of dry storage with a bottle a couple minutes later.
this girl: "No, that's red wine vinegar, not syrup."
Helper 1: "Oh, haha. Silly me. I guess I didn't read it right." (Really?! Do 'Pancake and Waffle Syrup' vs. 'Red Wine Vinegar' look or sound the the same?? They're not even the same colour!!!)
Helper 1 goes back into dry storage and comes out with the syrup a couple minutes later.
Seriously. And it's beyond me as to why it took so long for her to find it, too. Our dry storage is only 15 shelves (so tiny by commercial kitchen standards), and I had made sure to put it at the very front of the shelf the last time I organized. Out here, words fail me sometimes.
But through it all, God is good. All the time. God is good.
