My favorite is how they’re “out” of everything at 8pm when they close at 10.

Like obviously I understand that going to a restaurant right at closing is a dick move, but going to a fast food joint two hours before close should not be a problem.

This is because the ingredients are made in the morning. Workers arrive as early as 7am to make everything for the day. Meats, rice, and fajita veggies get updated throughout (or until the grill team is out of prep) but everything else has to be done all at once in the am. With skeleton crews, they don’t have the manpower to endlessly make chips and salsa til 10.

No I mean they’ll say they’re out of everything at 8pm despite ostensibly being open until 10.

Yes, EVERYTHING is prepped in the morning. Veggies cut, meats put in marinade. All of it. If at 6 I’m out of fajita veggies, I don’t have enough people to say “hey, go cut more veggies so we can fry” - it sucks, but pulling someone from any position is gonna make things worse. We’re already doing the jobs of 2-3 ppl each
