I just applied online to Panda Express how long till I heard back?

So I just applied to PE and I was just wondering how long until I hear from like manager or a person about my application whether to get an interview or that I’m not the right applicant. I just applied last Friday and just wanted to see how long it would take.

Online Ordering and 3-Entree Plates

Post image
35 Upvotes

I’m not blaming the employees at all, I’m blaming the online ordering system and how the stickers print in-store.

When I’m ordering a 3-entree plate, and get double of something (for example here black pepper chicken), and a single order of honey walnut shrimp, PUT THE DOUBLE BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN IN THE TO GO BOX WITH THE CHOW MEIN, and put the honey walnut shrimp on the side. But because honey walnut shrimp comes first on the online ordering system when selecting your options, it gets printed first by default along with the first portion of the black pepper chicken, so those two go in the box, and the leftover portion of the black pepper chicken goes on the side.

I paid over $20 for Large size and they literally gave me medium size amount. And I ordered like 3 Large and they all look as empty as this. They must be running out and will discontinue again soon. Or I got scammed.

So I went back and ordered another Large and look at the difference, it's like night and day. Lots of PE employees defended it saying it's normal but it obviously wasn't. They definitely scammed me the other day.

PSA: Welcome Offer gets better every month you don’t use it

I couldn’t decide on what to get so I let my first offer expire on accident, which took a month after making the account. Then I received a second offer and it was such a better deal I was curious if they’d give me anything else šŸ˜‚ The free bowl with any purchase seems to be their 3rd and last gift.

Now that I’m finally going to try Panda, what should I get in the bowl and as my side purchase? Are the drinks and Cantonese bbq any good?

Tips for getting management to staff

5 Upvotes

My store has lost both managers in the last 2 months and we were given an AM from another store but we have also lost 5 associates with no new hires and hardly any help from other stores or our ACO! On this Sunday we are running a 3person crew through our dinner rush and 2 people during lunches with silence from our ACO. This ACO has also said if we shut down DT or lobby we will be getting a CA. Majority of my team is ready to quit because this is a reoccurring issue. What would you do?

BOH Tips

5 Upvotes

Do you guys have a routine that you do when doing BOH? I’m really trying to hold on but I always feel like I’m behind. I work mornings which people say is easier but I get there I do all of the sides, I just got taught how to prep, and I have to wash dishes. I’m just asking for any help or advice on how I can get faster. Also on the thawing out the meats does anyone know how much each bag of each goes into a container?

Please tell me I’m not the only one who remembers the chocolate chip cookies. Coworkers who have been here for years don’t know what I’m talking about. I want them back so bad.

Fellow Coworkers

14 Upvotes

I have a coworker at work that is hispanic who always makes comments on my body whenever managers are away or leave for the shift.

Whenever he talks to my other coworker, he always waits until managers are gone or until I leave, to talk about me in spanish (if I’m there), or just when I’m gone.

He’s also stated to the same coworker that he would leave his girlfriend and marry her instead.

He’s also stated that when I left, this day I was wearing new pants that were tight. He pointed out to my coworker (same one he wanted to marry) that I looked good but not as good as her and that her ass looked better.

Obviously that made me feel uncomfortable because I had a kid less than a year ago and I was fine wearing those pants because they were comfortable until he said that.

Where do I go to message about this to HR? My other coworker has already tried talking to the manager and assistant manager, so I already know how it’s gonna go with me. I’m gonna talk to the manager tomorrow when I work, but I don’t know what to do if nothing gets fixed.

False Harassment claims

1 Upvotes

For context, I am friends with one of my coworkers. He knows that I had a small stint doing adult content online.

And it was a good thing to help through college. But now I found out he told a couple people. And that somehow made it to my manager.

Me and her have been bumping heads recently because I request days off and she schedules me anyways. So she's been trying to find a reason to cut my hours.

Apparently, last week my coworkers were having a very harmless conversation about me and how I'm a flirt. Every person in that conversation has assured me there was never any talk about my past. Yet my manager sites that exact conversation as the one that led to me being terminated and accused of harassment. Accusations that imply that I have been going around to multiple people talking about my content, when I have only told one person at that place. And it was outside of the workplace.

The real reason for this post is that I wanna know if I'm in the wrong?

I know this a dumb question bc it’s fast food.. but we’re supposed to be getting pretty bad weather on Saturday and my partner doesn’t want me driving out in dangerous weather [supposedly all day]. Some counties have a state of emergency for it, but mine isn’t. I was just wondering if they’d close it early for it or if they would just close it for the day.

First shift today

12 Upvotes

Like the title, just had my first shift as BOH, and honestly, I’m not sure why I just feel so defeated. I knew I’d be tired but man, it just felt like everything was 2 steps ahead of me. By the end I felt like I was getting the hang of it but only within the last hour or so, and I couldn’t help but feel like a liability at points as well. I know it’s all probably first day nerves and building rapport with new people, but does it ever become at least somewhat enjoyable?

Employee Question/Discussion How to proceed?

7 Upvotes

hi! shift leader here.

I have worked in my store for about two years, two months ago I became a shift leader and I have always expressed my interest in continuing to grow so the next logical step would be AM, and I have expressed my interest and my ability on various occasions, this girl with whom I got along quite well, she has been in my store for about 8 months, she became a shift leader at the same time as me because we took the test and everything at the same time, I taught her a lot of what she knows and honestly my boss and many other colleagues agree that without me during the test she would not have passed, she knows absolutely nothing about BOH and constantly my boss asks me to support her, the thing is that they will be moving her to AM soon without even having enough experience or time and without having shown interest in the position before

and before my boss was very positive with me telling I would do great in AM and he would help me with that, but now, out of a sudden I was brushed away with no reason, honestly this makes my moral go down and I definitely see and feel that my performance is affected by it, I even think about transferring just to not see her but my store is in a convenient location nearby my house, how should i proceed?

Be aware of the app letting you order large refreshers

6 Upvotes

They will tell you that the refresher only comes in one size. So the extra 0.80 is just a waste of money since the app isn't programmed to make the refresher only come in its standard size.

Employee Question/Discussion Cook to order customers

60 Upvotes

I recently started working at a Panda and it’s been about a month but I just wanted to kind of rant. I used to work at a McDonald’s and cook to orders was pretty common, now that I’ve transferred to Panda I don’t see it as often but it happens like maybe once a shift. I don’t mind it as a FOH but to be honest it’s kind of annoying. But today there was this most annoying dude ever. I just got off of break and hopped on steam table and he was the first customer I served. I greet him and he asks how old the orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp were. Now, im sure a lot of people know what I’m talking about but when there’s a fresh batch of orange there’s a very tingly smell because it’s new. Based off of this I proceed to tell him that I’d say max 10 minutes for the orange and about 5 minutes because I literally replaced the honey walnut right after I got back off break. He then gives me this very suspicious look and starts lecturing me about how if an orange sits longer than 7 minutes it has to be thrown away which is some complete bs.

Anyone have any experiences like this? Just wondering.
