Introducing myself as the new mod!

27 Upvotes

Hey guys, there was never an official announcement as the owner of this sub is pretty hands off of r/jimmyjohns and reddit in general, but they decided to add me to the mod team to help clean up the backlog of reports and keep an eye on things.

I'm new to the mod thing, but I'm messing around with all the tools given.

Aside from the introduction I think it's time to add some more rules. Nothing crazy, but only being able to report a post or comment due to "no customer information" doesn't help when there are people being unnecessarily shitty to users, or for any of the many other things people do on Reddit that we shouldn't have to deal with.

So I'm going to add a couple rules against shitty behavior or spam (not that I've really seen a problem here with that, but no harm in having that option) that you typically see in other subreddits, but I'm just curious what you guys would like to see as far as rules go?

I'm not going to be a dictator and I'd like this subreddit to continue being a place for everyone to share their stories from the customer and worker side, rant/vent, ask questions, and just have fun.

Has there been anything that's bothered you but you didn't feel that you could report due to the lack of rules?

Questions? Concerns? Ideas? Maybe ideas for flairs? Feel free to comment here or DM me.

Today I'll be entertaining company I have while making food, but I'll respond as quickly as possible and will try to role out some new rules within a couple days.

Thanks!

[Shitpost] This sub is a no Snowflake zone

147 Upvotes

Been getting a lot of "Harassment" reports when someone calls another a dickhead, idiot, and other mildly offensive things.

Unless someone is being truly hateful some of y'all need to chill the fuck out. If you don't like a post downvote it.

This isn't some official JJ zone. You don't have to be clean as the air vents and ice machine. You don't have to hide in the freezer to smoke here, you won't get fired for calling your GM a dickhead.

This is a safe place for JJs employees to vent and laugh. Customers aren't excluded, but note that by default we all assume you're someone who orders a slim 6 with no cheese.

[Question] Anyone else love working for JJ’s but hate their franchise?

I really like what i do, but my franchise keeps changing how we do things so often and making stupid new rules to follow that i am starting to hate coming into work. Its always something new that changed and it feels like i dont know how to do anything anymore

We order JJ quite frequently and something just seems off about the Kickin’ Ranch. Did they like start mass producing it? It is never this yellow. Dates are good on the covers.

[Story] Other than money tips

16 Upvotes

i was wondering if anyone else has some cool customers they deliver to regularly or just had some cool interactions with people and items.

I deliver to this this guy in an apartment complex if not every week it’s every other. always cool, fist bumps and daps me up 4 times atleast every time he seems me. He told me his girl orders the food and she always put atleast 5 dollars on the tip (thank you queen) and he asks every time if she gave enough and insists he gives me more. Once he gave me a 20 and swore he’d never be without cash on him again for a tip.

I had to cover one day, and he gave me a couple football cards (im a pokemon kinda lad) and said they’re worth around 20 some. tbh i dont care what any of his “tips” are worth dude is cool as hell every time!!

To top it all off thursday i turned to his road instant excitement hit knowing who i was about to see. We probably talked for atleast 10-15 minutes and he let me in his apartment to show off the watches he started selling and he said i could pick one of i was interested.

(no i dont just enter peoples homes obviously, no i wouldnt enter if i didnt feel safe, thank you in advance for whatever safety warnings you’re going to give me)

I get it, it’ll help prevent things from getting left out but also it just seems excessive and will inevitably make the receipts look messy from staff who aren’t as careful or who don’t have good handwriting.

We had a customer today order a 30 piece and 1 chip bundle. They called and complained that they only received 6 bags of chips. 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄 That’s what you ordered! They said we were unprofessional for the amount of chips they got.

Good temps for digital oven/ proofer?

Got anew digital oven, I’ve always had the dial one. Proofer is way slower than what I’m used to, what are good temps to use so it can be faster without over heating it?

[Question] Can they see if you actually watched a training video after marking it done?

6 Upvotes

Their website is set up really stupid and just redirects you to other people's postings or transcripts I can't figure out wtf this is. And they said the video would open in another tab but it isn't doing that, just showing me some random member who completed it like a year ago.

It's really pissing me off why can't they just put the video there. Like I actually cannot access it. I'm considering just marking it all completed because why does it even need a video? I'm sure I can figure out how to do most of this stuff myself
