There's a certain camaraderie in the environment of jobs like these, (Be it Walmart, fast-food, similarly natured jobs,) provided you have coworkers that put forth the effort and also have a mutual sense of trust and respect for each other that is just so gratifying and loving. I don't think there will be a day that I forget my old crew at my Walmart, etc. Nailing a high paced environment with everyone working in tandem is almost fun to a degree. I almost miss the feeling of a job well done at these types of jobs. (I worked the online grocery department of my walmart when it got started. It was quite crazy. :P )

[@pinheadlarry2506]

I also used to work in the online grocery section near the beginning. It kinda sucked for me though because the manager was a p.o.s who talked more than worked, and her buddies would get a pass at “talking on the job” since they were close. They also tried to take advantage of the younger crowd we had by attempting to strip away our second 15 by saying it “wasn’t mandatory”(we all worked 8 hour shifts with 1 hour lunch) so that also pissed me off. I had some co workers who were AWSOME to work with though but overall my store was tainted with suck ups and shitheads who talk smack and complain more then work. It also didn’t help that we were a neighborhood market who had a high turnover rate, so my department was constantly low on employees forcing me to dispense all day without being allowed to pick once. The co workers truly make the experience, and my experience was so Shit🤣.

[@axcs_steele]

@@pinheadlarry2506 I'm not sure if its just the neighborhood part that causes high turnovers, that job does blow complete ass if you don't have a good crew with a sick team lead.

Your restaurant setup and a few procedures are so much different compared to the store I work at in Australia. Your UHC setup is so interesting like the choice to keep hotcakes in there. We pre make ours in containers and microwave when needed. Oh and what is a grittle? we also don’t have scrambled eggs or crispy bacon anymore, the sauce guns are way different, we have these mad guns that shoot at 1/3-2/3 oz. Of sauce and makes it all so much quicker. I would like to think that my restaurant has optimised a lot of procedures to make it way less of a pain than what you have to experience. And your wrapping speed is a god given ability, I’ve never seen such a quicker way to wrap before and I’m going to try and replicate as best I can. The work you do is fantastic man, nothing but love from AUS 🇦🇺

This. In all his videos the cheese sticking together or breaking apart is the biggest bottleneck. They could add a non-caking agent to the cheese so it wouldnt stick like that (like the cellulose they add in grated parm) but that'd be another sketchy ingredient in the mix.

[@Bee_Kind_Always]

@@Bee_Kind_Always Someone in a different video said when they have downtime at their store they will stand there and separate them and rotate every other slice 90 degrees, so when it gets busy they can just easily grab one slice and go.
