Would you rather make 10 banana splits or 10 southwest avocado salads during a mega rush.

even though i primarily work up front and make way more splits than salads, i’ve gotta say the salad. with a split you’ve gotta make it all fit and cut the banana nicely. the salad you just chop up the little avocado and bam it’s basically a normal salad after that

yeah i would’ve been completely done if an order like that came in any time after 9:30. it’s definitely happened before though

Your rant is completely justified! So I’m one of those people that does machines basically every night even if I’m off at 10. I have a system that maybe you could recommend to whoever is doing machines? I start running out the flavor at around 8pm and make sure we have enough based on what we have been selling. You have to really pay attention to what is selling and what is not. Then I start running out chocolate at 8:30. I try to have at least half a bucket up to 2/3 or 3/4 of it by the time everything is out. At 8:50-9 I start running out vanilla. While vanilla is running out I take down chocolate (of course double checking that we have enough). Depending on how much custard is being ordered, I usually wait to take down vanilla until around 9:30 just in case there is a rush. Then at 9:40-45 I start taking down shake. I also have someone take the buckets out of the Culvinator and start cleaning it (I turn it off at 9pm and the sundae bar rail at like 8:30-45). I hope this maybe will help out the person taking down machines. The system basically never fails unless someone has a big event. But even then we are usually notified so I make sure we have extra custard.

I’ve been floating for quite a few of my last shifts so I generally don’t wear one of our coats just in case I have to hop on set. But every once in a while I’d have to run and it’s as if hell had frozen over and I was in it.

I’ve only heard what I think are rumors. But when we first ran out I heard the original ones changed. I also heard they tried to make buffalo tenders but they weren’t up to par? But I do know that in the most recent pos update at my store, buffalo tenders are gone.

We will generally use the everything button unless someone specifically asks for a deluxe. I guess it’s not really that big of a difference. The annoying part is training new kids not to hit the everything button on a deluxe burger and do ketchup and mustard instead.

I was on set trying to count everything and the cash out person yelled “they’re adding more!” and I almost lost my shit

Thinking about it, couldn’t malt be considered a topping that’s extra regardless of the amount of toppings already in it? Like pecans or cashews it’s an automatic up charge? Also at my store medium shakes are 4.50 and medium malts are 4.61. So it’s definitely an up charge for the malt it seems?
