Can we talk about the worst shift I ever had at a steakhouse in Denver?

Honestly, I gotta disagree with everyone who says Friday nights are the worst. For me it was a random Tuesday two years ago at a busy spot downtown Denver. We had a 50-top walk in at 6 PM, no reservation, and the owner said yes without asking the kitchen. Then the fryer oil caught fire during the rush because someone forgot to clean the filter. I had to put out the fire with a dry chem extinguisher, which ruined $300 worth of ribeyes on the pass. The health inspector showed up the next morning for a routine check and cited us for the extinguisher residue on the prep table. Has anyone else dealt with a Tuesday that just went completely sideways like that?

Walked right into a disaster. Some Tuesdays are cursed I swear.

Honestly @aaron708, I used to laugh at people who blamed bad luck on specific days but last Tuesday I walked into my kitchen and somehow the cupboard door smacked me right in the forehead. Then I dropped my coffee mug and it shattered everywhere. Tbh I totally get it now, some days really are just cursed from the moment you wake up.

Oh man, I feel this so hard. I walked into a coffee shop last Tuesday and immediately tripped over my own feet (in front of like ten people) and spilled my drink all over the counter. The barista just stared at me like I was a menace to society.
