“WHEN IN THE HISTORY OF THIS RESTAURANT HAS ANYONE EATEN FROM THE BOTTOM OF THESE PLATES?"
While not quite the same, I'm reminded of Jobs' comment regarding a furniture maker who made sure the backs of the furniture were finished
- ipsin 14y agoIn my world, plates are stacked on top of each other prior to use. Cleaning both sides is a good idea.
- rodly 14y agoHe was probably referring to cleaning (scrubbing, rinsing off, etc) the bottom of the plate prior to putting it on a rack that was about to be pushed through the dishwasher. The bottoms would be clean at this point, but it would be wasted time to spend extra seconds clearing visible food from the bottom of a plate.
- ricardobeat 14y agoIt's the exact opposite - his father was a furniture maker, and made sure to craft the 'hidden' parts of his work just as well as the visible ones, a lesson he carried on to Apple.
- will_work4tears 14y agoWell, the plates are stacked, so a dirty bottom plate can make another plate top dirty. Not sure the logic behind that.
- marshray 14y agoI had a similar formative experience as a dishwasher. However, the old man who ran the restaurant really liked you to scrub the carbon off the bottom of the pots and pans. To this day I have no idea why.
- lotsofcows 14y agoEx-army probably.
- marshray 14y agoHuh, interesting. I'd never considered that.
