Well whipping some people would really seem like fun however we can't anymore which is a shame haha.

I've dealt with a few employees who are slower on stations and generally they are given support and training if they aren't showing any progress.

Although personally, just creating a connection with them and chatting to them while on the station can slowly increase their confidence in what they're doing. Once that confidence is up there, they're work speed increase exponentially.

Finally, there are some employees that just aren't possible to deal with generally due to a lack of the right attitude. Therefore we give them all we can to try and help them but if it fails our management seeks termination of their employment.

Well all food is made so the opportunity to tamper with it is possible. However, when the front counter gets you your food, you see it the entire time. There is no possibility to contaminate food even if a customer is rude.

The soft-serve machine in my store is the same as the shake machine. But let's just focus on soft-serve for the purpose of your question. Each day I am going to create an imaginary number of 10 McFlurry's per hour being pulled. That makes 240 per day.

Years Amount Served Running Total
1 87,600 87,600
2 87,600 175,200
3 87,600 262,800
4 87,600 350,400
5 87,600 438,000
10 87,600 876,000
15 87,600 1,314,000

As you can see it has alot of use over the years. Most of our equipment is only replaced when it is broken beyond repair or upon a special request by our management.

No we have no secret menu. Although we will cater to your needs as a customer where possible.

There is so much compassion that never gets paid attention to within jobs like ours. Although the one thing that really stands out is with new starters. They're all sweaty and nervous its their first day at a job with all these people who know what they're doing. And just by everything saying hello like they've known them forever and getting on with their job it calms them.

Alas, I have a story. So our staff are either part timers between 16-22 or full time staff. Therefore we have half of us who drive and half who don't. Late shifts means that people have to get taxi's if they live further away than they can walk. So I was working and I missed my last bus and with no money was attempting to ring around people for a lift when our lovely Dining Area lady called Nancy joked about me still being around. To which I obviously replied I was waiting for a lift. And you can guess, she offered to take me and I accepted but found myself with a relative coming to pick me up.

Everyone at this type of job just gets along or you don't enjoy your job much.
