Dining halls serve hundreds or thousands of people each day, so keeping things running smoothly is paramount.

If you've ever wanted to waste a lazy afternoon, spend some time watching videos of how professional chefs make lunch for the masses. It's fascinating to see the processes behind budgeting for the ingredients, then cooking a massive meal for hundreds of people. Instead of cooking for just one person, lunch chefs have to cook for hundreds, sometimes only with one or two people to help them out. They need the food to come out perfect every time, and to finish cooking just in time for the kids.

This person isn't a chef at a food hall, but they are a cashier, which comes with its own challenges. They're responsible for keeping track of kids from a nearby summer camp. With three workers, it's not too difficult to keep a count of the kids to ensure that no one has to spend too much time in the brutal summer heat. But with just one worker… things start to fall to pieces.
