```yaml title: Three Days to Go (Thanksgiving 2024) link: thanksgiving24 published_date: 2024-11-25 20:48 ``` We both started at seven this morning. Right after we had taken our first break, Chef had come in feeling like hot trash, so I got cut loose so I can go back in later to close up shop. This is my second Thanksgiving at the new store, and so in a lot of ways it's not as rough as it was last year. I'm a lot more hands-on in regard to how things rolled our for preparation of turkey orders that started to get picked up today and will thru Wednesday. I basically built a reverse chronologically order palette of the turkeys and stapled the order sheets to the tag on the turkey itself. Then I put them in boxes and tetrised that shit back as if it was a freshly shipped palette. The idea is come in and unload todays today onto chelseas and have them ideally placed in AM/PM order with AM at the second to top shelf and going thru the day until we get to the bottom. The top shelf is reserved for birds too large to fit in the space the shelves on the chelseas permit. We unloaded a couple more palettes of frozen Butterball and Jenni-O out to the floor. The amount of people who wait until to get to get their shit together really does blow my mind. ■ --- <div class="afterword"> <p>✉️ <em><a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject={{ post_title }}">Reply by Email</a></em></p> </div>
