So. I come in early because my manager has to inventory, ie, counting every single thing in the store. So I get to hold down the fort for the most part. So, I get there. Coffee's brewing, most things are set out. We uncover the ice cream. Moron supervisor last night barely consolidated ANYTHING. There were three H-pans that were practically empty. In the dipping cabinet. And they barely left anything in Prep.
W. T. F?!
For those of you who have no idea wtf I'm talking about I shall explain. We get our ice cream shipped over from the factory in metal H-pans that looks something like
this. When it gets to be about half way, we usually switch them out so you're not digging into China. Sometimes there's more than one half so, you put them together, this is consolidation. It's often sticky, and sometimes there's a little too much and you get the "loaf" thing happening but usually you can judge it pretty well.
Other Important Thing. We have four freezers in back, storing the ice cream. Three are heavy duty below zero. One is around 0. That is prep. We like prep because that way we're not breaking our wrists trying to scoop stuff out. Have you ever tried scooping a double or the amount needed for a large shake out of newly liberated back freezer ice cream? It is agonizing. I have to pysch myself up and take some yoga breaths, think on the Tao Te Ching for a few moments.
But that's not all. There was also no whip cream made and barely any waffle batter left. There was one waffle bowl and 6 waffle cones. Guess who made that stuff? Oh yeah. And it's not like we didn't have customers. So thanks, dumbass, I don't care if you're sister's married to some high-up guy in the company. So you have another job that you work full time, well I'm sorry, you're working 'til close but that's your own fault and it was a SUNDAY. We close three hours earlier. You had the TIME. Don't fucking come into our store and move shit around so we can't find it, and leave it like THAT for us to deal with in the morning when you KNOW we have stuff to do.
Now, I'm pretty sure he got reamed by a fellow manager friend of my boss's but, I needed to get that out. I also ended up staying two hours later so the new guy could watch the espresso-working vid and wasn't left alone whilst m'boss did her mad-skillz inventory-ing. Not that I minded all that much, I really do adore her and we weren't wretchedly busy. She's like an aunt to me and we bitch about stuff all the time. ^_^ So here's to you, Jules, you roxer my boxers.
In other news, I'm almost done with my cool NON-CRACK Dresden vid. I'm so proud. That was the only good thing about the internet being wonky yesterday. Of course, since I only have two of the episodes on my comp it's mainly those two, so I'm trying to convert some because the old links aren't working anymore. Knew I should of finished DL'd them all when I first started my collection. Oh well, I shall survive. If the converter ever stops being slow. *poke*
