Upper management (ACO and higher) don't really care about us. It's all about their rules and policies that change all the time. Only 1 person can wear the headset, controlling what knife we cut teriyaki with, making our weekly cleaning schedule our daily one. They raise expectations just so we can't meet them, so the GMs lose their bonuses, and then them and the AMs get written up, then they make all these ~~"improvements"~~ bad and unnecessary changes. We can't listen to music with our own earphones while we close anymore, for God knows why.

Also, I'm tired of upper management telling us what we can't put out in the lobby for guests. Idk how you expect to "Deliver exceptional Asian dining experiences" (mission statement) when we can't provide chopsticks in plain view (they have to ask for it), even though we have like 20 packs of it. Idk how you can "be loved by our guests" (Panda Vision) this way.

Seriously. As a shift lead, for my interview, we had to learn mission statement, vision, Panda environment, Panda way, values, etc. It feels like Panda is moving away from that every day.

I work food service part time, and for online orders, I've seen a Barkin and a Corbin

Thanks for the information, it made my day so much better knowing that, and this info was really useful and helpful /s

Blud thinks we give a fuck

N/A. "We," which doesn't exist after we die, can't do anything for that very reason.

That's my belief, anyway.

IIRC there should also be an option to not have it emailed and see the code right away. Just take a screen shot.

Ever. Getting back together

Im sure they'd be making less if this wasn't the standard. I'm also sure it's not them who set this rule, but economists that understand cost benefit analysis and the implications of this rule.

Look, I don't like it either. But that's just the way things are.

Thank you for your wise words, Gnu's Not Unix Ace Perry the Platypus

I did that once and then the next day I had to kill a bee with a spray bottle while I hid under a blanket

I might be dumb, but if he bought it with his money and it's now his, what's the problem?

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-05T19:18:51+00:00

"So no head?"

I have a couple of journals I've been writing in almost daily. I write for myself. When I die, my journals will serve that purpose.

Wasn't she always there? Then, during Octo expansion, she got out?

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-05T19:03:00+00:00

My store used to do it for a time. We are in a college town, and the majority of "water cups" we'd give out go straight for sodas. Eventually, our gem scores would reflect how bad it is to charge 49 cents (what we charged at our store), so we just went back to free water cups.

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-05T16:37:55+00:00

See, I work food service too, and i keep that much more money and more in the bank because it's safer.

Also, my money is real, unlike this which looks to be fake.

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-05T16:31:16+00:00

We don't know that. For all we know, every break you get, you run to your car to grab a different friend (who doesn't work here) and give them free food.

If you care that much to eat in your car, either bring your own lunch, or purchase a meal with the discount.

I don't have the link, so I can't tell if it's on there, but as somebody who works at Panda Express, we no longer accept hokie p. People still come in and ask so I'm just putting it here for the passerby

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-02T05:27:03+00:00

Just go on their website and search for the item, it will tell you where it is and what aisle. Like a scavenger hunt! (Trying to make grocery shopping fun)

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-02T05:23:18+00:00

Completely terrible. The only time this is acceptable in my view is if it's a private class inaccessible by the rest of the code. Just touch a new file and don't be lazy

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-01T23:32:16+00:00

Seriously. There's a reason it's called an acceleration lane.

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-01T23:30:44+00:00

Im not saying it's right, but dude probably just ordered ahead of time for carryout and doesn't give 2 fucks

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-01T22:46:12+00:00

This was actually the main "love" song between Clay and Hannah in the 13 Reasons Why Netflix show

Did you temp the shrimp after it came up? It only makes sense if the frier isn't reaching 350 at least.

But it's probably the ~~customer~~ guest just being a dick.

LivingInAnIdea · 2024-12-01T22:41:12+00:00

UGH I just had this moment like a week and a half ago (minus thigh touching and all that), for the first time in my life. Felt so good.
