    Font - Don't stop cooking till 7, you got it boss man. S OC Context: I (20M) work at a grocery store in the deli department where we also make fried chicken and wings.

Bucket of wings is $9.99 for 2.5lb the normal price is $17.99 for a bucket, we also sell it by the pound for $8.99 but next to nobody getting wings get anything but the bucket.

    Font - I show up to work (closing shift) and my manager and store director (aka boss man) are in a bad mood just got a feeling that later turned out to be true, why I don't know. I do my normal things serving people making food. Everything was fine till about an hour into my shift boss man comes up to me to telling me to make wings and "don't stop frying till 7″. This is something he tells me but only once and normally when he's leaving but today he felt telling me what felt like every 15 minute

    Font - boss man was leaving he told me "don't stop frying till 7", 4 times within 20 minutes. Once he left I decided why not do what he says, over the course of the next hour I worked extra fast to make as many wing buckets as I can (please note that at this time it was basically dead in the store). By the time 7 came I had finished making all the wings I had available to me at the time, which ended up being 37 buckets. This filled up 2 1/2 shopping carts far more than the normal 0-3 that are le

    Font - Edit: forgot to mention what they did with the wings. Any hot food (everything I make) that wasn't sold that day is repackaged and marked down in price and labeled as cold instead of hot

    Font - bornagain_cheezits. what did they do with all those buckets of wings? 141 Reply Share Purpleninja1132 OP. They repackage any food that wasn't sold and label it as cold and mark down the price sorry for not stating that in the post. Almost all of it was thrown away after some time

    Font - Shaggysnack So two questions: 1. Are the wings any good? 2. What store has such a good price on wings on Fridays? I may need to check them out to see if they're fresh at 6:50 on a Friday.

    Font - Purpleninja1132 OP. I think so and so does everyone else I work with. We sell "honey" which is what it sounds like and "spicy" which is more mild than spicy people who say they don't like spicy foods say the spicy wings aren't that spicy. Now how fresh is a coin toss your best bet is to call and place a order for pickup at that time for the freshest wings

    Font - Sophung This honestly sounds like your boss was maliciously complying with his boss. Probably, his boss got after him about it and he already knew it was dumb, so he wanted you to prove it.

    Font - Mental_Newspaper3812. Such stupid direction anyway, like "man the fryer until 7:00, and always have 4 buckets of chicken at the ready" would be perfect direction. But this... this is just stupid direction.

    Font - BrobdingnagLilliput. That's totally bizarre, After the 4th time I would have called somebody in management and tell them that I thought he was having a neurological episode of some kind, and I would be completely serious and genuinely concerned.
