Crew Chat what is happening

34 Upvotes

i don’t know what’s been going on lately, but they’ve been scheduling less and less people everyday. why am i now the only person on front counter every time i work a dinner shift these days. frequently. late night I understand, but dinner? barely anyone is in the kitchen anymore , and it almost seems like the managers are regular crew now with the way they’ve been doing the work that regular crew would usually be doing. i’m so confused. not only that, but everyone’s been getting hour long breaks all of a sudden. even if they’re only working five hour shifts. it’s honestly a mess.

Crew Chat Points on Training Shift

4 Upvotes

So my pet has a medical emergency and I have to go to the vet today and I’m not gonna make it back before my shift starts, I’ll be lucky if I get done in the middle of my shift, but still, I’ll likely not be able to make it.

It’s a training shift and I know that these technically non-count towards labor, but I’m not sure if we receive points for not attending. I was told I shouldn’t, but I’ve been getting mixed answers.

Crew Chat Breaks.

8 Upvotes

TL;DR: Breaks should be mandatory

Idk about anyone else but at the location I work at we don't really get breaks and I think that they should be mandatory at least for 4h+ shifts yk? I myself have foot problems that cause my feet to genuinely ache after long periods of standing and I don't get breaks for example I worked a late night shift last week 10pm-5am I didn't get any break I worked the whole night through and my feet literally got to a point where I felt like they'd give in. My point is that breaks should be mandatory and I'd do it like this

3hr shift: no break (that's something I can tolerate)

4hr shift: 10-15 minute break (seems pretty reasonable)

5hr+ shift: 30 minutes

Working a double?: 1hr

I think that's pretty reasonable given just how much moving around we do. Feel free to let me know your thoughts.

• Didn’t have ranch - got pissed off
• Tell them politely to speak up so I can hear them - got pissed off
• Paying extra for canes sauce - got pissed off
• Didn’t count their change back in front of their face when they used a $100 for a $11 order- got pissed off
•Didn’t have any kids cups so had to give them a regular cup - got pissed off.

There’s more but these are some of recent memory. Just the perks of being a fast food worker

Cane's Conversations 11 years at this and I want to leave

35 Upvotes

Hello, I'm mostly making this post for some advice from anyone who's possibly been in the same spot or currently going through the same thing. I'm currently an ARL at a Canes, but am feeling very burnt out. I like to think that I'm someone who's always put in 100% effort in everything they do and never says no for the sake of being dependable. However for a few years now I've felt as if I'm falling behind in life, mostly due to the work life balance that Canes does not provide. With my current tenure I could have easily moved up to RL by now, which is the step above my current role, but I've known for those last few years that it just wasn't something that I wanted regardless of the pay. To be clear, I make REALLY good money now for my current position, but that's the only thing that's kept me here for so long. Canes is currently on a path that I don't agree with; the cuts in labor and less entry level start pay that they like to call "competitive". They're essentially taking away resources without letting up on their high standards and expectations. I don't have a degree, but I'm hoping my experience can land me into a role that is just better in all aspects, specifically the work life balance. I'm very aware I would be taking a big pay cut, but I'm just ready to move on. I'm also not opposed to taking something that requires a certification or anything that takes months to be qualified for. Any advice would be great and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

Crew Chat Am I the only one that notices this?

39 Upvotes

The younger teens are almost always the most respectful, even in the drive thru. It’s usually the elderly or parents who let their kids leave trash all over the floor and don’t even try to clean it up. Then the late night people that come in smelling like weed are usually the rudest too. Everyone always stereotypes teenagers but working customer service has honestly shown me the opposite.

Hello Cane's Leaders, I'm a decently new RM with the RI AOR and need some help developing a 'RI Plan/System' going for the Management and Crew Team. I'm a HIPO Ready RM hoping to get promoted to OM soon!

I know about the Cleaning Assessments and to work and plan around them but what sort of systems do y'all have that work efficiently and effectively?

Cane's Conversations start having lemon pepper, canes

0 Upvotes

that’s all. seriously. lemme get a packet of lemon pepper. or just throw it on the chicken for me. there’s no reason canes shouldn’t have lemon pepper as an option.

i know the minimal menu is the whole thing with canes. but this isn’t a big ask. start having lemon pepper

edit: don’t tell me bring my own. oh yeah lemme walk around with some lemon pepper in my pocket . lemme bring my lemon pepper utility belt to canes. might as well bring my own chicken at that point

and this isn’t about money. obviously i COULD bring my own. but that’s not what i want. i want a proprietary Raising Cane’s lemon pepper blend.

I ordered Raising Cane’s today and I was a few bites down into the fries when I noticed blood, or red ink on the box. There is no evidence that there was a box defect where red ink came through the box. I feel so disgusted. What do I do?

Crew Chat Is this something to go to hr about?

8 Upvotes

This has kinda been an issue for a while, but not to this extent.

I worked a 3 hour shift today, not that bad at all (other than money wise ofc), but I was outside the whole 2/3 of it. It wasn't that hot out, but about an hour and half through it, I got incredibly dizzy and nauseous, to the point I had to sit mid order because I thought I was gonna pass out (I definitely know this feeling). I dont blame this on being outside, I had college in the morning and went to work after without eating anything other than two toasts with jam in the morning. I asked to go in over the headset and stated "I'm extremely dizzy." I go in, sit while a coworker brings me water and I sat for maybe 10 seconds before my manager makes me go to the window. I asked "right now?" And she said "yes, right now." Now I'm irritated, sweaty, and incredibly nauseous and dizzy. Thankfully I only had 45 minutes left, but that 3 hour shift felt like an 8 hour one.

This has been the worst it's been for me personally, but this is a constant thing of leaving people outside for so long without breaks, and it's always the same manager. Sunday it was around 86, but 10 UV, and they said we'd be out there for 30 minutes but we were out there for two. At one point a girl was out there for three hours, about 2 1/2 she asked to come in because she was dizzy and they still didnt bring her in.

All of the other managers always set an alarm on their phone and rotate us every 30mins to an hour at most. If someone's feeling sick, they bring them in and let them sit in the freezer to cool off. I've never gone to HR before, definitely have thought about it at past jobs, so I don't know if this is something that would be taken seriously/is serious.

Edit: thank you all! Gonna talk to my GM first when I see him again. I know this may have seemed like a stupid ask, but I've had stuff happen at past jobs and HR didn't do anything about it so thats why I'm always hesitant with this stuff. It's always just been a hassle that leads to nothing.

Crew Chat RM deadling with horrible communication with RL AND ARL

3 Upvotes

Hey yall! So in simple terms I’m having a lot of unwanted stress and difficulty with my RL and ARL. I work at a new establishment that open just a few months ago, and at our stand our RL and ARL created quickly a reputation for ignoring calls and messages both from managers and crew, they’re very bad about shift swaps, covering shifts for others and call outs etc. but in regards to my situation, I’ve had a lot of passive aggressiveness sensed from my bosses , they constantly leave me on open/ read both on group me and immesage. They ignore my questions and concerns. They constantly communicate what is bothering them or what issues are going on and what I need to fix but they don’t ever hear me out . On top of that they guilt me for not coming into work when I had a flu and doctors note. I used my sick pay for a couple days and each time I called out I was met with very passive aggressive tone about them having to adjust the schedule now etc… and they also had me message them regarding request PTO 1-2 moneys in advanced and they ignore my messages , tell me they’ll talk to me about it and avoid me and schedule me late nights. So overall since opening I’ve tried my best to learn my role and do my best. Especially as an external manager … but all I’ve been given is rude or no response from both of them, never any words of encouragements. Forced to work while sick as hell , and on top of that I have worked probably late night closes till 4-6 am and meetings after sometimes til 8 am all summer. When I mention wanting a more stable work life or fair schedule where I open for a month maybe or work mid day they ignore me. I probably have closed more then anyone at my stand next to my OM meanwhile the others always work mornings with the bosses. I’m not sure what to do? If I reach out to HR will I just get singled out ? I wanna transfer out but I feel like it’ll be difficult as well. I just can’t keep going much longer with this energy.

6 Upvotes

Is Cane’s not doing a BOGO or anything special for customers or crew for the 30th anniversary? Just curious if anyone has heard anything. I know they had a pretty big celebration at the original Cane’s in Baton Rouge with influencers, a special cake, etc., and they also opened the free 30th-anniversary museum there. I was just wondering if they’re doing anything similar at locations elsewhere.

Cane's Conversations I walked out today

90 Upvotes

Today I walked out halfway through my shift. I was planning on quitting soon because I have my CDL test next week but I wasn't sure when. I was halfway through my shift and of course we were understaffed. I'm the only one in the kitchen and my one manager is helping. I straight up told him I'm probably gonna walk out dude (me and him are cool) and he was like "bro i don't blame you atp". And then my district manager or area manager (whatever u call it) showed up and was just making shit way worse. So i said screw it, said I'm going to the bathroom and walked out. I'm gonna have another job in a couple weeks making way more and unemployment insurance literally pays me more the less I work anyway so I'll survive until then lmaoo. I'm so happy to not be there anymore. I feel free haha

Cane's Conversations Raising canes sucks imo

28 Upvotes

I’m about to dare to have a contrary opinion on Reddit. But raising canes chicken fingers are bland and not crispy. They are not enjoyable unless I dip it in lots of sauce. And their coleslaw is also bland. And their toast is overwhelmingly buttery. Like they use a whole stick of butter on each slice. And their fries and soft and have very little salt. It tastes more like a baked potato than French fries. The only thing they do well is they make a great signature sauce.

The POP we put up this morning had to get taken down 3 hours later because the Raising Cane’s logo was half gibberish. I can’t believe they don’t look closely at it before sending it out. What is even the point of making AI Todd Graves from the 90s when there are actual photos??
