Total chaos without a properly trained Burger Assembler. This reminded me of when I was working concessions (delivering to stands) and my boss got me really high, then put me on a busy burger stand. I messed up everything and got yelled at by 10 year olds.

What do you think would happen if you made a filet-o-fish just like a Big Mac? I don't even want to think of the consequences.

And the only reason powers got the promotion was because we had to help his stupid ass each time a management dilemna arose. The sad part is had the "peer" gotten the promotion she wouldn't have needed OT.

If she's got ambition, then her position as your assistant is probably temporary, anyway. She'll be looking to relocate and get promoted. You should keep that in mind from the start and let her know that you understand she's fry cook material and that she's just yuour assistant until another opening comes along. Delegate lots of work to her to keep her too busy to cause trouble and tell her it's to prepare her for her future fry cook job. McDonalds has plenty of locations and if you help her move up to another job, she won't resent you as her boss and she'll work harder because she knows her upwaqrd mobility depends on it. This is all based on you saying you got along well as peers. If there's already a friendly relationship, nurture that. If she didn't like you to begin with then you should still delegate lots of work to her, but only to find something she fucked up on so you can fire her.

We're having a breakfast meeting tomorrow. I'll let you all know if she's good in bed.

They might help the crew manager with hot drinks or chili, but there's no way they're venturing into the major food prep areas. If anyone helps with fries, it's the grill cook. But I DO agree that burger assembly is on a higher plane of responsibility than grill cook or fry cook. Of course, I'm looking at this from a Wendy's perspective.

I didn't think so. Now try doing it with a lunch rush out the door and the snotty cashier bitch (who's ALWAYS cramping) is yelling "where's my supersized fry?" and you're hung over but you know that it's another 2 hours till your next break but your head is pounding and there's a bus that just pulled up and you just KNOW the kids are gonna special order shit so you just do what you can not to take her water retaining face and jam it into the hot oil then hock a massive loogy on top of the next filet o fish you pull out of the fryer and say I gotcher special sauce right here, biatch. ::deep cleansing breath:: Yeah. No way burger preparers could handle that stress, man.
