I was anticipating being busy. I came in at 5, we open at 430 and of course had like 4 cars in DT and about 10 people on the lobby. Expected. What I did NOT expect was to be down a bar. Down a bar on red cup day. It was absolutely awful. I started on DT bar so our SM could pull pastries and fix whatever happened to the shelves in the freezer and everyone else could finish setting up. She hears me get an order for 4 drinks on the headset and comes out to make 2 for me to keep it moving along. We had zero mobiles at that point. From that moment on, I didn’t move from DT and she didn’t move from mobile for almost 4 hours. Our mobiles were 40 min behind because everyone one and their mother ordered via mobile and ordered 3+ drinks for the office. And also came in and ordered 2-4 drinks each in the lobby. I glanced in the lobby at one point and saw probably 40 people just staring at us. Some were really nice, most were silently very very annoyed, and a few were very vocally angry at us. I mean, I totally understand that 40 min behind is A LONG TIME. I understand the upset and the frustration, I do. But we were working literally as fast as we could. What sucks, is if we had that 3rd bar open we could have been set so well. We were staffed perfectly for a smooth run and it just....wasn’t. We ended up dumping more then a dozen drinks because people left before they were ready. I did get my sugar plum cheese danish though so that made me happy for my 15....which I got at 9:50 😂😂
