I’d be surprised, given how restaurant folks are often tightly networked. Front of house politicking and back of house knife-rolls are both good for omertà.
Everyone works closely together, often bouncing around jobs and having friends at other restaurants. Having this site totally anonymous gets in the way, but reputational damage remains possible and would complicate extortion efforts or legal liability the site could face.
Service staff who work up front with customers gossip like crazy and tend to be aggressively managed.
Kitchen staff are often salty characters who bring their own knives carried in a fabric or leather roll. Giving them guff is a bad idea.
Omertà is a mafia-like code of silence. A bad review that makes things harder for those left behind can draw reprisals, and some managers take reviews psychotically over-seriously.
No mention of wet headcloths and neckerchiefs here! Get some water on that neckerchief and it’ll drip down the hotter parts of your body. A wet headcloth loosely draped under a hat or headband catches the wind and sends evaporative cooling down your back, and gives you cooler air to breathe.
There’s a reason why deserts around the world are filled with garments like the keffiyeh, pashmina, shemagh, pañuelo, and cowboy scarf. I’ve spent a lot of time in the outdoors with a kufiya from the Hirbawi factory in Palestine, they’re well-made and amazingly handy. Their story is worth reading at www.hirbawi.ps .
