Being a chef is not a license to be a dick.
But you know what, I don't like dealing with prima donnas anyway; I ain't the one to kowtow to some douche's ego. So, I guess it's a good thing I never pursued a career in the culinary arts. If kowtowing to a douche is the only way to get ahead in the kitchen, God help the miserable souls who do it to pay the bills.

Interesting... You don't get yelled at in the military if you fuck up?
Not all chefs yell or are mean. I've worked with very nice calm chefs. And what most people don't understand, mainly because they've never worked in the service industry and don't know how it works, is that we yell because it's loud in the kitchen. Now, I've always worked in kitchen that were completely silent. It was very odd mind you.
My point is this... if I call for that mid-rare filet four times and you still don't have it for me, I will yell at you. If I call for runners cause food is dying in the window and the service staff stands around ignoring me talking about who fucked who last night in the parking lot, I will yell at you. Get off your ass and do your job. It's my kitchen and my food, you're here to serve it to the people that came here to eat it. If you fuck that up, I will yell at you. Yes, chefs have a pass when it comes to treating employees like worthless piles of shit and 75% of the servers I've worked with where just that. If you don't like your job and are obviously not good at it, go find something else to do with your time. We have to yell, we have to be mean some times. We have to weed out the morons that can't keep with a faced-paced stressful job. Make sense?
