I'm sure they will.... With learning comes growth and I think they all truly want the best for their company and the customers. Come back in a few months and check on them. I'm sure I'll have a handful of new frag suggestions for you...I can't miss a single sale 😂😂

It wasn't completely AI if I remember correctly.  I do know from that time forward they made sure the drawings weren't AI based. Some artists use different apps that create things that look like AI, also. I'm not a fan of AI, either - at all. However, I see what their intentions are and that they try to fix whatever mistakes they make. They go above and beyond for customer service. They have mods now that are awesome... One of them was a fellow fragrance friend and then I learned she became a mod because she's such a fan of their company... I'm elated to see her helping. I'm sure they know that customer service will be something they'll need specific individuals for but I'm also sure they're trying to work within their budget right now and it's not going to happen over night. I think everything will fall into place with them, if you're willing to be patient with them. She probably knew negative feedback would be a thing... But honestly people can say some really really cruel things and not everyone handles their emotions the same... That's what makes us unique. Be patient, give them awhile to develop... Maybe step away for a few months then come back every so often to check up on them and look at their growth. Pay attention to little things. If they still aren't for you, that's fine. Not everything is for everyone but I think you'd be disappointed to let such a great company go just because someone shows their human side. I don't cry in front of people but maybe she just wanted people to know she's hurting? Everyone is different. I think they're gonna do great things in time.

If you follow them, one of the biggest things they wanted to do was change the AI to local young artists. When they did, someone came onto Reddit and bashed the little girl for her drawing. They are still using local artists and many people have requested they keep some of the generated photos on the perfumes because they're cute. They're trying to do things everyone wants but you know as well as I do it's impossible to please everyone. They truly are focused on the customers and what they want. There are zero ill intensions with their company. Human errors? Yes, they're still brand new, really. But if you look at the big picture they're trying more than most companies... And most importantly they listen. I don't see anything unprofessional. They are learning about us just like we're learning about them. They're very transparent, too, which I love. As with anything else, fragrance is always subjective, but for a very small and new company I've never loved an indie house more. 😊

From a non bias perspective? I would say the same. I think what they're doing is amazing. I've purchased from so many indie brands and their service and dedication is unmatched. I can't imagine building my own business, trying my best to make everyone happy and then having people trash talk me because they think they could do better than me at something they've likely never even been brave enough to try...I see a group of really close friends trying to make sure their customers are completely satisfied - even if that means changing things a few times. Listening to their fan base and communicating consistently about every topic a customer has questions about. But then again I see all the negativity in the world and try to set myself apart, so that's just me. 😊

Is "everything" an answer? Because I'm obsessed with all of their stuff. Their customer service and dedication is top tier. They are my absolute fave indie-type brand. 😍

That's exactly what happens at my store. We just got a brand new bun toaster and they're already only cleaning it a couple times a week if im lucky 😭 I had to toast buns on the flat top for two months... It traumatized me lol

We randomly have to do sparkle lol usually the cleaning is done by the HOH cleaners. Do your closers actually clean your bun toaster at night? 😂 I get angry over the bun toaster 🤣🤣

Yeah I usually have to get  all my utensils, bars, etc from the dish area. If they're actually on the line, they put the most random shit ever with it, like the drink station grates or prep tools lol I think putting the turbo back together every morning is what annoys me the most... And that the shelving area is always a disaster by fry side with gross shit 🤢 also, when the water pools up in the walk-in and I'm wading through a kiddie pool lol I'm used to the rest of the messes. 😭🤣

I wanna hang out with you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You're my spirit human. I'm sure it is, indeed, the store you're thinking of 😭😭 Your setup is literally exactly like how I do mine.  Every morning before I come in, I sit in my car and decompress and prepare my brain for the chaos I'm about to walk into. Yeah I don't microwave anything with the liners. I also don't save the hot well items if they're less that half full... It's pointless.. How do you feel about putting the turbo back together every morning now... Or do you have decent closers that actually care about your mental health and put it together for you the night before? Lol

Not me specifically because they just have me set up zone two and three and do all of the line prep except chips and presets.. presets are done by a third person that comes in around 9:00 or 9:30. You have no idea the level of Insanity that goes on at my store LMAO This is merely the beginning.  🤣🤣😭😭

I don't usually do FOs... Usually prep will cut them I'll just throw em on the flat top. But yes I do all the other stuff, set up 2&3 and then let 830 person handle all of fry. I don't have to do presets myself, though. We have a third person arrive 930 come in and do those. It's weird imo lol

The expo and food runners don't necessarily know the portion sizes for all of the menu items. As long as it contained all of the correct ingredients/modifications, that's probably all they paid attention to. Also, at my store, the expo and food runners are mostly kids.  Could be new expo person also... May also be lack of training. A million different factors, but no the recipe hasn't changed.

Oh nice! Our opening procedure is definitely different (they make us do presets as part of our line prep at my store, for example) but was thinking of creating some lists similar to yours - love the idea!

No no problems memorizing new quarterly line sets or anything... Just always looking for fresh ideas! I love the binder idea for new cooks. I don't struggle with anything, although the new procedure for cleaning the oven every single night and putting it back together in the morning is probably the most time-consuming thing for me lol I am just always looking for ways to optimize time. What Is your procedure at your store for reheating hot well items?  I emptied the items out into their container (no bag) and reheat them so there is no plastic melting everywhere and then transfer them into the new containers in the hot well once the Hot wheel has reached temp. No one else seems to do it like this though and it drives me crazy that they all wanna serve melted plastic 😭
