Theyre really nor great for cutting bread, either. When im in a kitchen and going to be slicing a lot of bread, I use an extra long, (14-16") well sharpened chef knife. Most will cut through a loaf in one stroke once you get the pressure down.
Only thing I will use a serated for in a professional setting is lettuce(you actually want the tearing- it means it breaks in between cell walls, and bruises and wilts slower)
And some rare applications cutting meat while its still partially frozen, or shredding it off around the bone.
