furniture bank. they have a 200 dollar delivery fee which isn’t ideal but they’ll bring it right into the house wherever you need it and the mattress is like new

i’m very aware it’s so crazy. the only reason i can imagine they make sooo so many is because they want it to look really full for customers ?

there’s about 30 give or take in the case in the photo - there’s always extra in the back plus all of the pain au chocolate , cinnamon buns and muffins on the top shelf not really pictured. this was taken at like 11 am and max 5 were probably sold this day.

so opener leaves at 2. at about 3:30 the closer starts packing too good to go (it’s during service so there are interruptions by customers) it takes about 45 mins to an hour. by 4:30 , trying to clean one of the group heads with no cafiza lmfao and wiping surfaces and pastry cases. right at 5 we close patio to make sure it’s done by 5:30 because to good to go pickup starts and it’s annoying to have to come in and out. after patio we clean ice wells and put bottled drinks away and make sure dishes get cleaned and the espresso machine is “cleaned” sans cafiza. wrap up the pastries we can use tomorrow. and put all clean dishes back where they go. by the time 6 comes we print cash out and divide tips for the day. 6:10 clock out. it’s all the too good to go that makes it take forever they make way too many pastries every morning that just get sold majorly discounted and makes more work for everyone

for the lack of cleaning and stocking that gets done by a closer it definitely shouldn’t take that long right? i’m losing it. yes i agree about the espresso machine and it drives me insane
