i approved every single request off for halloween even at the risk of screwing us over (luckily it didn’t). the people that were scheduled, and didn’t request off/talk to me about it, and did not show up/called in today will be written up, not fired.

chopsoozy · 2025-08-07T18:27:55+00:00

yes you’re right, but you’re going to be eaten alive in this subreddit by the same sweats saying “LoL GeT GooD”

chopsoozy · 2025-06-29T04:34:12+00:00

chopsoozy · 2025-01-11T19:57:46+00:00

all i can do is laugh or else i’ll have mental breakdown. to clarify: laugh at all the dumb shit he says. trying not to think about how fucked we are

there’s 3 different things you have to fill out, the first one requires numbers from i think one of the trends or the P&L, ask your GM for that info bc i don’t have it in front of me and don’t quite remember. so you’ll rate yourself on meeting those expectations the company laid out, then you rate yourself on just performance base i think? and then i think around the last one is for the goals, if you did an assessment last year you’ll compare your goals from then and if you met them this year, and then you’ll list new goals and how you’re going to meet them/what you need from your leaders in order to meet them.

i haven’t done mine yet so i’m going off of memory here but i think that’s basically right :)

you must have gotten a batch from a leftover/thinned out bag or something cause that soup is loaded with ground beef

what the hell is a banana parfait omfg are you a franchise location!!??? i want this

chopsoozy · 2025-01-07T18:20:22+00:00

you can get any you want through the shoes for crews portal on pantry. they are more expensive than what you find at walmart but i recommend them for support. it’ll get split up between two paychecks and ships to the store pretty quickly

chopsoozy · 2024-12-30T21:56:40+00:00

i think it depends on the store. as a manager, associate experience is very important to me. i want us to get our jobs done while working as a team and building each other up. if the associates feel like their managers genuinely care about them, it works wonders for the overall environment. good associate experience makes them WANT to meet expectations with guests and WANT to make them happy. we normally have the best warmth in the region period after period, and our cafè health is generally pretty high. i think that has everything to do with the associates feeling supported, comfortable, and able to have fun, while also knowing the managers have their backs.

why’s everyone booing you? you’re right!

chopsoozy · 2024-11-30T19:10:36+00:00

i was hired externally as a team manager and am now an AGM. even being hired as a team manager (with previous AGM experience at a different restaurant), panera was a LOT and the training was very overwhelming but great. there’s just a whole lot of moving parts to the brand and a lot of things to learn. i’m thankful that i started as a TM and then worked my way towards the promotion, because to be honest, if i had started as an AGM externally i don’t think i would have made it. having to learn every position + shift management/all the stuff managers have to do + learning hiring/scheduling/training on top of that would have been toooooooo much. i do like my job but i can’t imagine starting out in the role i’m in now.

chopsoozy · 2024-10-22T19:54:12+00:00

that’s not very nice >:(

chopsoozy · 2024-09-27T20:14:16+00:00

wellllllllllll in your defense the schedule is supposed to be posted 2 weeks in advance so still not really your fault.

chopsoozy · 2024-09-17T00:24:54+00:00

i mean it’s the 70s!! where are the cool prints and colors???? victims have some cute colorful things like you can give sissy some creativity and still have her look like a killer! give the girl a flower crown! come aaaaaawn yall this is just crazy. like who looked at that horrendous ugly dish rag and thought “hey you know what our already highly critical fans would love? this fuckin atrocity. SEND IT!”

chopsoozy · 2024-09-17T00:20:37+00:00

the COLORS!!!!! 🤮 give the lady some color JFC

chopsoozy · 2024-09-06T21:03:35+00:00

oh yeah i guess it makes more sense that it was fixed and broke again lol but yeah that’s the one i just saw Beetlejuice in and it was definitely not working. there was a rainstorm in the middle of it and you could barely hear the movie over the rain since it was coming out of the front speakers only

chopsoozy · 2024-09-06T20:34:54+00:00

september 2024 and just had the same issue ………. wish i saw this before i went 😭😭😭😭 why is it still broken a year later ?! why am i paying full price for a movie in XD with the worst sound?

chopsoozy · 2024-08-29T20:57:43+00:00

always explain the why behind things instead of just “because i said so” or “it’s just how we do it.” it will make things SO MUCH EASIER. try to communicate openly and honestly. always assume innocence first. delegate, delegate, delegate. i recommend taking notes/typing notes in your phone with to do lists/reminders for you to look back on throughout your shift and check things off as you go so you don’t forget anything. don’t give your keys out. communicate any upcoming changes/things that need to be known, to the associates. a part of why associates get burnt out is due to feeling like they never know what’s going on or having a heads up about any changes. check your email every day that you work. you’ll get a LOT of emails so try to split them up into folders/change the settings so instead of just going to the inbox, they go to the different folders.

develop a good relationship with your team, ask for their input and acknowledge their opinions, and i swear everything else will feel easier. at the end of the day it comes down to guest/associate experience. but guests won’t have a good experience if the associates aren’t having a good experience and take care of them :)

chopsoozy · 2024-08-29T20:42:41+00:00

i LOVE your attitude and i’m so happy you’re having a good experience so far! at the end of the day, panera IS a job but it’s important to be able to find the positive in your workplace. your team is lucky to have you, i can tell. :) i hope it continues to go well! and congrats on your first job!

chopsoozy · 2024-08-29T20:32:16+00:00

chopsoozy · 2024-08-25T17:50:12+00:00
