500 jobs and you still feel like you're guessing? That's not a bad thing, that's the job telling you something. Every kitchen is different, every fridge has its own weird history, so of course it never feels routine. I've been at this 12 years and the ones who think they've seen it all are the ones who mess up. The count isn't proof you should feel sure, it's proof you kept showing up when it was hard. Also, remembering their names and what they actually wanted matters way more than the number. That's the part that never gets old.
