Watched a new guy at the shop ruin a whole ribeye primal by slicing against the grain on the first cut
He was going at it from the short side instead of the long side and it turned a perfect roast into a mess of short, chewy steaks, has anyone else had to stop a rookie mid-slice to save the meat?

Trained a new guy once who grabbed the boning knife and tried to joint a chicken by stabbing straight down into the thigh like a caveman. Had to physically take the knife out of his hand before he turned the whole bird into a pile of bone shards. Guess we all start somewhere, but some of us start a lot more expensive than others.

Man that hurts. Watched a $200 roast get butchered in seconds once.

I swear I read somewhere that like 30% of home cooks mess up their first roast chicken and that's just people at home. Can't imagine the pressure of doing it in a pro kitchen where that $200 bird is basically your whole paycheck for the week. Saw a video once of Gordon Ramsay screaming at someone for the same thing.
