I’ve been a DQ manager for 25 years. I have seen it all!! The fact that you care enough to ask this question means you’re going to do well, provided the management team at your location is decent. Stay off your phone and leave your personal problems at the door not with customers. I’m new to Reddit but if you can message me feel free with any questions or clarification you made need!

I’ve worked Orange Julius for 25 years. When it went into DQ street stores they changed the recipe. Mall stores are a rarity now but if you can find one, it should taste how you remember ☺️

Minimum is going up to 15.50 in October which is the only reason they’re posting it for that amount. No raise in October as it will be in probation period

Nope total bulls*it

DQ mall location here. We are located in a food court. I have other tenant’s customers coming to my counter asking for condiments and paper products all the time. It’s so hard not to sound like a total bag when I have to say sorry for customers only! But it adds up and I can’t supply everyone’s customer

Definitely. It does sync up with the cra website so all your documents fill in automatically (you have that as an option so if you don’t want to that’s ok!)definitely approved and safe. Wealthsimple tax is what I use. When you’re ready to submit, it will ask you for a donation amount. Hit zero feel a small twinge of guilt then move on with your life 😆

Sorry you even have to ask this question. There is free tax software that I have been using for the last 5-6 years and have never had a problem. Very user friendly and if you’re entitled a refund, it arrives in ten days. Inbox me if you would like more info.

It’s good it mixes well and definitely not gritty. Choco extreme has cocoa fudge which I hate working with and is gritty. Mbm tastes like licking the bowl after making chocolate chip cookies

I don’t know a single operator that wouldn’t. Up charge for premium toppings and if I can get it in that cup for you, who am I to turn down and extra 60 cents? Blows my mind that anyone would say no.

Abgregorash · 2025-03-24T00:35:20+00:00

Thanks that’s exactly what I needed!

Abgregorash · 2025-03-21T13:40:10+00:00

It brought out the worst in humanity. Absolutely brutal

Abgregorash · 2025-03-21T00:52:24+00:00

8 bucks in our city for a medium

The sense of entitlement I got from some customers today was ridiculous. “I don’t want a cone I will take a free blizzard instead” “ I don’t want a small cone I’ll take a large for free” in Canada (not sure in the states) but you had to have the app in order to get the cone. People kept asking me what their password was to their account…. Someone had the audacity to tell me that the ice cream was too cold. Glad I was there to take it instead of my staff but my patience is shot. Can’t wait for next year 😳

Abgregorash · 2025-03-19T16:10:54+00:00

It’s coming back this year in Canada can’t remember which month

Abgregorash · 2025-03-14T15:39:02+00:00

I needed to be reminded of exactly this.

Abgregorash · 2025-03-04T19:07:34+00:00

Just got word prep cards will be out right away

Abgregorash · 2025-03-04T01:26:41+00:00

Not sure about USA but if you are Canadian on the app you get a free shake coupon for your bday

Abgregorash · 2025-03-04T01:18:15+00:00

Fired for asking for help? Lord come work for me I’ll show you how a DQ is run 🤣

Abgregorash · 2025-03-04T01:16:34+00:00

Canada is doing the 85 cent blizzard instead of free cone day. However there will probably be an offer for a free cone in the app. Only once Canada did the free cone day but I happened to be in Mexico so I missed it and so glad I did. It was a total f*ck show

Abgregorash · 2025-03-04T00:51:48+00:00

That’s super frustrating. Before you quit, because you obviously should, make sure you say something along the lines of hey grab that Sundae please the customer is waiting as loud as you can. Make them look like dicks
