86 means “we’re out of that” in the restaurant biz

It’s so completely bogus and dishonest it’s not even worthy of discussion.
The only discussion that should be happening around this matter is the fact that a private U.S. citizen is being persecuted, unconstitutionally, for exercising their freedom of speech and expression, entirely as a form of vindictive political retribution, coming directly from the highest office: the U.S. president.
In other words, the first amendment no longer exists. This from the so-called constitutional originalists.

I just 86’d the pickle on my burger five minutes ago….
Choice-of-SteinsGate on
I’ve worked in back of house in at least ten different restaurants—mostly as a line cook.
“86” is very common terminology, and especially useful during busy times because it can be communicated quickly to front of house staff that a menu item is no longer available.
Usually it starts with a line cook or a prep cook shouting something like “86 meatballs!”
Now everyone in the back of house knows that we’re out of meatballs, which gets passed on to waiters and waitresses so they can pass it on to customers ordering anything off the menu that includes meatballs.
It can be used for a specific ingredient, a food item or a meal from the menu.
The term is also less commonly used to convey that a particular customer is banned from the establishment.
I can say with 100% certainty that when we use “86,” it’s not to communicate that we’ve killed or intend to kill someone, nonetheless are we saying that we’ve just murdered a meatball…
But I shouldn’t have to explain this because this whole indictment is politically motivated and baseless. Every legal expert says the same.
These charges are meritless and amount to another example of Trump weaponizing the power of the Justice Department to persecute his political opponents, his critics in the media, and anyone who has ever hurt his precious feelings.
The phrase “you can indict a ham sandwich” exists for a reason. For that matter, you can even “86” a ham sandwich.
If James Comey presented such a dangerous threat to the president, then why did it take the administration a year to drum up these charges?
Surely they would have moved much more quickly if Comey was planning anything nefarious.
Hell, he even took down the post immediately when he realized how it was being misconstrued by bad faith actors.
However, this isn’t the first time that James Comey was indicted by this administration. Last year he was indicted under different charges, and when federal prosecutors chose not to pursue, Trump fired them.
That said, if you’re really telling me that an arrangement of seashells is menacing enough to warrant an investigation, then everyone involved in this partisan charade is incompetent and should be fired.
But that’s the thing. This ridiculous indictment is obviously motivated by spitefulness. It’s more of a test for Todd Blanche to see how deep his loyalties lie, and whether he’ll get to keep his job as AG.
Aside from the fact that he was Trump’s personal lawyer, which is it’s own conflict of interest, he’s already demonstrated that Trump’s retribution campaign takes priority over the rule of law.
He was also chiefly involved in organizing the firing of any DOJ official that was once tied to any previous investigation of Trump or his corrupt allies.
And remember that as deputy AG, he was the one who orchestrated a cover up with Ghislaine Maxwell by offering her proffer immunity and dangling the possibility of a pardon in front of her while moving her to a cushy, minimal security prison in exchange for her cooperation with the federal government.
The DOJ is severely compromised, and it’s only going to get worse from here as Trump continues to purge the government of anyone not loyal enough to carry out his every authoritarian and petty whim without question.

86it has been used to signify “throw it out” and or “get rid of it”. In the age of texting , posting if there’s a way to write something by shortening it it’s used like LOL= laugh out loud or 8647 = throw the mango Mussolini dicktator out of office

No? Maybe you didn’t grow up in America and so your opinion isn’t relevant in this context.

On a side note, it’s a common misconception that to 86 something it also means to say, ban a bad customer.
If something is 86’d we’re out of it, but 86 can also be used as a verb for when you need to 86 all items in the computer that contain avocados. Why avocados you ask? Because 86 avocados, tell your friends.

86 means cancel.

Restaurant workers, sure. But mobsters claim they use it every day for whacking snitches. And there are way more mobsters than there are restaurant workers.
Incidentally, have MAGA been able to come up with a single example of 86 being used in a mob movie/TV show? Should be pretty easy if it’s so common.

They know. I’m sure people in this administration have been 86’d from enough bars and restaurants that they knew it was not a death threat.

To be fair, it would be best to put it in terms that they all understand.
It is also a common term in bartending to indicate that a patron has been banned, for the night or longer.
To use it in a sentence, Jeanine Pirro, Pete Hegseth, and Kash Patel were all 86’d from Applebee’s on multiple occasions due to their excessive consumption of dollaritas.
