I am online now in drive-thru and had my first lost comm.
Trying to get the order through with light guns was fun.

 

[Flash]

Our local union rep here at T. Bell is trying to get us sour cream and guacamole guns on line. He tells us that the customers will feel much safer since we won't be using our hands. I don't know how the other guys will feel about it.

We tried using the guns but the FSA (Fast-food Security Administration) confiscated them at the checkpoints so we can no longer use them. We still have the large butcher knives in our kitchens though!

LOL

What is the junior drive through now for Burger King, also is it possible to commute?

 

[sidseal]

How's this for a kick in the pants? I work the sour-cream gun at taco mayo (been on reserve for about 6 mos.) As you all know, we signed a 10 year contract to get flow-thru rights to Don Pablo's. Now I find out that Don Pablo's is furloughing about 200 higher paid sour-cream gun guys and our contract included flow-back rights for them. So, I now sit "restaurant ready" in the mop and broom closet while those **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** Don Pablo guys get to work the taco line. Hopefully, Chi Chi's will start hiring soon and those guys can go back to the "majors".

OKC jobs

How's this for a kick in the pants? I work the sour-cream gun at taco mayo . . . . Hopefully, Chi Chi's will start hiring soon and those guys can go back to the "majors".

Taco Mayo was an alright OKC regional fourteen years ago. No jobs open in Oklahoma City? Try OUN.

Alternatively, Jim Dandy's may be hiring, although you might need 500 of FIC (Fryer in Command) chicken time to get an interview.

Do any of these places have a bridge program with Embry-Griddle?

 

[dash8driver]

He also said that the fry station was being retired and all of the fry guys were going to be displaced into the ice cream swirl machine and salad tossing line.

ok...i'm guessing the salad tossing line must be the MOST junior position. i dont know if i could think of a worse job then standing there tossing the salads of a bunch of strangers all day long.

 

[SmoovFlight]

...jelly or syrup???

 

[bobbysamd]

One list

Just curious, do Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC have one list since their merger?

 

[airludy]

I worked the french fry machine in the Navy on a carrier...Over 3000 hours flipping military grade burgers..Do you think this will help me over the civilian guys that worked at Burger King applying for the same job at McDs??

I don't know if I have the "right stuff" to get on at McDonalds, but I do have a Big Mac if you know what I'm saying

Checkride Profile...

I just finished training and wanted to pass the checkride gouge on to anyone else who may be finishing soon.

I was junior in my class, so me and my fry-cook were screwed into the worst slot for the checkride. It started at midnight, just after the drive-through closed down. Our check-fryman was Mayor McCheese. I'd heard he was a real bastard, but he seemed okay to me at first. Of course, we had a two-hour pre-brief which basically consisted of floor mopping, napkin dispenser filling, shake machine cleaning, and prep work for the following day.

Then it was time to go fry. Let me tell you, the heat was on. Started the check with an originating breakfast flow (which had to be completed prior to 1030 am), complete with all the first-fry-of-the-day checks. This was followed by two aborted char-broiler starts (no lightoff on the first, and no grill rotation on the second). We handled these okay.

Just after opening, we had our first malfunction and were forced to complete the breakfast profile on one orange juice squeezer. Luckiliy, we'd been through the hand-squeezing procedure over and over again, otherwise we'd have been toast.

New day new problem. The manager apparently forgot to pay the electric bill and we had to finish the check on emergency power. This left us with only one cash register, one fryer, and no bun warmers! Half way through the lunch profile, the shake machine thawed out, and we lost pressure in all three soda fountains!! Talk about SWEATING!!

The check ended with a grill-fire to a restaurant evacuation after shutdown. All in all, it was the toughest ride I'd ever been on.

You guys will all do fine. Just remember, wash your hands after you sneeze!!

Capt Brazilia,

Finally a funny reply, that's not taking a dig on someone!! Cudo's for that hilarious story!!!

Thanks!!!

 

[bobbysamd]

Saying that he would have been toast during his fry check is a bad mixed metaphor!

I look forward to hearing about his IOE (Initial Oven Experience).

I hear that commuting during that first year of frying is terribly ill-advised.

Military fryers v. civilian fryers

I worked the french fry machine in the Navy on a carrier...Over 3000 hours flipping military grade burgers..Do you think this will help me over the civilian guys that worked at Burger King applying for the same job at McDs??

Not that old debate again, military v. civilian.

Of course you will have an advantage. H.R. (Hamburger Resources) always prefers military over civilians, even those who paid their dues as CFIs (Certificated Fry Instructors). You can skip over the regionals, such as Blake's , that well-known New Mexico regional, the one that has the alter-ego Freedom Burgers, and go right to McD's.

 

[ACWild]

Don't work at Freedom Burgers. I hear that if you do, you can forget any of your dreams of flipping at one of the majors like McDonalds, Burger King, or Wendy's. Regionals like Checkers won't even let you eat the fries that fell on the floor.
