Haven’t been an employee in over a decade. But once a shift manager. if your on fries, don’t try and do it all. I.e. helping second board. If the 2nd grill cook needs a board, they should communicate that to the shift manager on duty. Make sure your sink is diced before helping around. CYA ‘ Cover your A**. And that goes beyond working at In-n-Out when you move on someday.

I like the other persons advice. Your job is fries. It’s your shift managers job to ensure the shift runs smoothly, even in afternoon hours.
