Oh my god I thought we were the only ones today 😩🥲 my college French is finally paying off
pranasoup 73 points 1y ago
it’s a national issue today! call EHD, they’ll create a ticket for you.
The_Infinite_Doctor 62 points 1y ago
The items are in French but the instructions are in English...?
ryannmm5 21 points 1y ago
yes, our birthday cake pops were all french today🤣 mostly everything else was english though
Mellon_Lorde 60 points 1y ago
I wrote out a whole translation sheet to make things easier for my coworkers just in time for things to go back to normal. 😭
sir_ramen 9 points 1y ago
Good practice though. I mean unless you speak French at home all the time.
sushibroni 6 points 1y ago
😭😭 we had a little translation sheet going by warming and the one person that knows french clocked in right as we fixed it
riddlvr 3 points 1y ago

my store is completely bilingual and the system changes language every time someone messes with it, so this is hilarious to me
pumpqumpatch 6 points 1y ago
Woah that’s really interesting that your store is so bilingual- if you’re comfortable/it’s not to specific would you mind sharing what region you’re in or what languages?
thatawkwardboy 17 points 1y ago
my store is in Montreal, the majority here is french but we also have a lot of anglophones and anglophone/other language immigrants, so pretty much everyone at the store is very good at both languages, but we do have partners that aren't fluent in french and we have some that aren't fluent in English, it's very nice to see them learn and communicate with each other!
pumpqumpatch 3 points 1y ago
Ahh that makes sense. You're probably used to it but that sounds like a cool environment!

Yup! We do! Guess my French teacher was right. I did end up having to use the food unit in real life.
drewdrop26 2 points 1y ago
What was the food unit?
ryannmm5 3 points 1y ago
when you learn english food words in french
CatHoarderBitch 16 points 1y ago
Idk but suddenly everything sounds super delicious
BakarinaLovesMaria 2 points 1y ago

monharki 13 points 1y ago

sir_ramen 10 points 1y ago
Parlez-vous Francais? Non non non, un peu.
Dramatic_Celery_2262 10 points 1y ago
This happening at my store and I find it so funny because what the fuck does half of this mean
Calsan1 6 points 1y ago
My manager was able to get it fixed in like 10 minutes tops once he arrived at my store. I don't know what he did though 🤣
jawil723 6 points 1y ago
IT fixed it, your store manager just hit the database refresh button on the POS.
Babygrincher 6 points 1y ago
Sure is!

Last week pretty much every Jimmy John’s had their menu items replaced with a bar’s. So a Turkey sandwich was some type of beer, the mods were all drinks or foods they didn’t have. Mass chaos in their sub at the time (and I’m sure in the restaurants).
BookDragon1996 5 points 1y ago
Atl got it lol
angelic-hellhound 4 points 1y ago
It’s making a good training week for myself lol. At least I have a good idea of items to be able to at least attempt to figure it out somewhat
Puzzled-Pianist-4227 4 points 1y ago
Yes lol it's made things extra fun😂
PK_Pixel 3 points 1y ago
I love how the starbucks system made a stance on the chocolate croissants.

There's a national debate in France (it's really just a regional dialect thing but, you know, the French) where some dialects say Chocolatine and some say Pain Au Chocolat.
radtaddyo 3 points 1y ago
The fact that I started learning what the items were in french
Kmsss 3 points 1y ago
This was the funniest thing to have happened to us. I was living for it.
Sad_Current_1383 3 points 1y ago
