A new (white) (male) coworker...

...who is back from college and who grew up in the area and who is (evangelical) and who was (home-schooled) by his mom and whose dad is a STEM prof at the local university (and who thus might be not just evangelical, but also on the autism or ADHD spectrum or whatever the f*ck have you can go on with STEM people?):

1) He has (big) (frizzy) (blonde) hair and his shirts are a bit too tight, and he has a small simple cross pendant hanging outside his polo.

2) He said he's never eaten duck, nor held a fifty dollar bill.

3) He doesn't really notice stuff that needs doing around the restaurant like unfilled pitchers or tables that can be prebussed, and he leaves stuff half-done or not cleaned up, and he was just dumping the bussed plates etc. into the bins, instead of trying to sort out and stack smaller and larger bowls so that you can fit more in, until all the bins were full during only a medium heavy lunchrush, and I had to stop and resort them.

4) When he swept the floor when it was slow because the boss told him too, he swept way too thoroughly, but another time when he filled the ice cooler, he just dumped the bucket in the middle, instead of pressing it down and fitting another bucket of ice inside.

5) After he blew his nose once, he never washed his hands.

6) When folding silverware once, he dropped a fork on the floor, and then picked it up and went to go fold it into a napkin again.

7) He doesn't really swear, but says stuff that sounds like "dad gummit!".

8) With ordering staff meals, he would order the work-intensive-for-the-kitchen fried chicken dish repeatedly, until I kind of had to tell him that that was a once-in-a-while thing we could do, instead of every time...  I also had to mention that we tried to all put in the same order usually, to save the kitchen work.

9) He used the 50%-off work discount when on shift to order one of the most pricy things on the menu, this big piece of roast salmon, to take home to his mom.

10) He said once that when it's busy, it's like Alice in Wonderland, and you're always late with everything, and he quoted that quote about lateness with very crisp and purposeful enunciation in his head-voice.
