I work with a 20 year old World of Warcraft / Anarchy Online addict that reminds me of myself 2 years in the future and it scares the forget out of me.
Regardless, my managers and co-workers seem to have different takes on a particular issue at work.
There are 4 parts of the Fast Food Network during rush-hour.
- Drive / Registers take the order.
- Kitchen prepares the meal.
- Fries prepare the fries, and also puts down more fried food that the kitchen uses later on.
- Expedition to Lobby customers and Pass-Through to clients in the drive-through.
If there are tons of orders, sometimes the kitchen gets slowed down. I can have a few orders of french fries ready to grab and expedited. However, if fresher french fries come up before the prepared cartons are ready to go, I like to dump the slightly older fries back into the back, mix it up, and rebox it. This way, all customers receive a majority of fresh french fries.
However, my nerdy co-worker has an issue with this, as does the headquarters. My manager in chief doesn't, he does it sometimes, too, but the nay-sayers cite that...
"You're taking bad fries, mixing them with good fries, and everyone gets mediocre fries."
But, I think it's fairer everyone gets mediocre fries than the orders (which are already late by this point) getting old fries and the newer orders getting crispy ones.
So, I ask you:
Redistribution or Chronological Distribution of French Fries?
Yes, I've spent this much time contemplating these issues.
