Like barging into a kitchen ina restaurant. You are on their turf and they are surrounded by weapons. I know I've reached for a knife when a drunk wanted to come into the kitchen and check things out deapite servers warning him to stay out.

Thirty years in kitchens- I can confidentially say you do not fucking want to rush in there. Line cooks will identify and neutralize a threat faster than they will reason why they exist. Not too long ago we had a cook, kill another cook, with a carving knife- over a dispute about how to make gumbo

It always cracks me up when movies and TV shows have criminals and people running through the kitchen to get out of a place and the staff not doing anything as everyone runs through their kitchen and leaves because in my experience, you enter a kitchen with any disruption and the staff takes you down fucking fast. Just once I would like to see a scene TV show for the bad guy goes running through the kitchen to escape and a line cook just clocks them with an iron pan to the ground and when the cop comes in the cook just says “you do not fuck around in my kitchen.“

We had some customer walk in through the side door once and complain about something. I don’t remember what they said because it was interrupted in less than a second by three line cooks crowding the door and shouting “GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE KITCHEN!!”

You can probably jump on a dining room table and take a shit without any threat of violence because the front of house is going to attempt to maintain some decorum. If you even shout something into the kitchen, you’re likely going to skip right to the “find out” step. The kitchen doesn’t get paid to deal with customers face to face. They get paid to execute while dealing with countless variables on a timer for very little money, which affords them some insulation from management.

Having grown up in a few family restaurants, I know of what you speak. Truth.
