When attending my first snack shack, everything was set up and ready to go. Although I wasn’t working a football game we did sell a decent amount. At first I thought the game would be somewhat packed but unfortunately not. But as the game was progressing, more people started to show up.  As Kelly and I were making the hot chocolate, it came across me that we did not need as much as we thought we were going to need. Therefore, by the end of the night we had sold barley any coffee and hot chocolate and we ended up throwing most of it away. Besides that, we sold a good amount of hamburgers and cheese burgers. I was on the grill flipping burgers and staying on top of the amount we had left in the hot box. If we only had a couple left I would put at least 5-6 more burgers on the grill so we wouldn’t be behind if someone wanted one.

Also, the fat sandwich station was somewhat in order but the person working the table wasn’t very mentally organized when it came down to making them. The job got done but it seemed like people were kind of all over the place when it came down to someone wanting a fat sandwich. Fries and chicken tenders definitely sold the most. Everybody from kids to elders loves fries and chicken tenders because they are so easy to make and eat. But at the end of the day it wasn’t a very busy night and we didn’t make as much money as we thought we would. Overall everyone participated and worked together to get the job done.
