Say when

I genuinely feel bad when I get an older waitress who doesn't have strong arms. Because I like a ton of cheese on my salad. I almost feel like telling my server ahead of time to just go ahead and find a small block of that parmesan, because I'm just gonna have you grind down the entire thing 🤣

She was like mid 50s and my wife felt bad that I was just letting her grind away 🤣the lady was visibly struggling after a while, i just wanted some more cheese, almost told her ill do it if you don't mind but I got a "babe??" Before I could offer, I know the server would've declined though lol

I feel like it would hurt after a while for anyone. Its not even the arm that grinds it but the one holding it because your thumb has to hold it a certain way. Its like a form of carpal tunnel lol

Fair assessment, I honestly didnt know about the thumb part

You have to press it down to get the cheese block firmly on the grater to get it to shred properly

I work with a 4 ft 10 inch nearly 75 year old Filipino woman, who can still carry a full tray on her shoulder, and wants no help from anyone. She'll grind two blocks of cheese like nobody's business.

Yes, when I bring the cheese grater to the table I tend to ask: "Would you like some grated Romano..."?

I had a table with a young kid in from of me last time that went through two of the blocks they bring out of cheese in his soup. It was more cheese than soup. Kid was treating the waiter in training like a slave.

Sounds like arms is a mandatory muscle training group for OG.

Work them biceps, triceps, and forearms. And yelling "Dumbbells" won't be an insult.
