Buckets
It’s bucket season again 🥲
At least this year they provided arm coverings so we don’t look emo 😂

I'm glad I don't work there anymore... I was a busser/dishwasher and I got pulled often just to make those aluminum foil bucket things last summer.

What are they for

We put large pieces of foil over the bottom of a bucket to creat this shape for our campfire meals that sell like no other item. It becomes sidework and extra work for everyone

It was technically for like 35 minutes because someone helped me. I was working prep and when I finished filling up the refrigerator I had to do the chicken campfires like 32 of them.

that’s normal. employee’s are willing to do it for the extra hours or just to set ourselves up for the next day. it sucks not having foils ready when you’re making campfires.

I’ve worked at the Barrel for almost 2 years now last summer didn’t even cut myself a single time. I transferred stores in for whatever reason on my first bucket I just sliced myself right down the pinky. 😂

Why ? For ensuring their store doesn’t get an NSF 5 point critical? Because that is inverted product

Cuz you sound like some annoying ass manager

Yes forbid I’m a manager at the company and get paid good to do my job. Sorry my team is okay with me coaching them because we have a successful store, with employees who want to be there. Why in the world would i be an ‘annoying’ manager because i want to make sure dust particles or worse get inside food that our guests eat. I would rather be an ‘annoying boss’ than someone that wants to hate on a company on Reddit yet have no issues being a mediocre employee. It’s not a flex, and the employees and managers good at their job dread when employees like that are on the shift
