El Snack Shack Blog Numero Uno

Blog Numero Uno

            So, working the snack shack was, slower than I thought it would be. I’m pretty sure it was guys soccer and a Thursday evening or something. They got a good crowd going, but the snack shack seemed relatively slow, or maybe we were just efficient? Either way things ran mostly smoothly, and I can’t remember any major hiccups or problems that night.

            One thing that I did notice though, was that I wasn’t sure if everyone washed their hands when they got there. It doesn’t really matter for cashiers, but even if you’re cooking and wearing gloves you should still wash your paws before hand. I’m not saying that nobody washed their hands, but I did not notice many people doing it. Maybe they did and I just was busy doing something else, I don’t know.

            Also, I was talking to some people after the game, and they were saying that the French fries were kind of soggy, or just really greasy. So I was thinking instead of transferring them from the fryer to a hotel pan, maybe we could put them in one of those hotel pans with holes on the bottom, so we could let them drain more before placing them in the heater thing. Or we could put a paper bag at the bottom of the pan so that it helps soak up some of the extra grease.

            A way that we could clean up faster is that if it’s slow, before we start closing up a few people could start cleaning. For example maybe they could start stacking pans that we were done using onto one of the carts. And maybe organize the fridge/freezer if it’s looking a little sloppy… They could also put some of the candy and chips away too, which might save some time.

            Also, I am very concerned that security gets free food. It is understandable that the janitors get some because they work really hard at those games, and deserve some free food for their hard efforts. The security on the other hand, do nothing but supervise the perimeters, which wasn’t even necessary at that game because a police man was there. I don’t think they do enough to get free food, and if they want it they should help out and do some dishes or something of the sort.
