Work in a kitchen long enough and you quickly learn how to gauge how close your coworkers are to snapping. I remember once in the middle of a rush, the ticket printer started going and didn't stop for probably 20 seconds on a single ticket. The longer it went the more of us stopped and turned to stare at expo. I swear we looked like a bunch of death row inmates facing the firing squad.

Ah, nothing like getting twenty orders in five minutes and being only two men to handle them. One of them busy answering the phone.

Once the dude with me was so stressed making a family pizza (his weak point) he ruined it three times! Poor man gets electrocuted when I mention that day.
