My Tuesday double in Little Rock nearly ended my career
I had a 14 hour double shift on the 6th that went bad from the first ticket. The fryer thermostat lied to me all night, and I sent out three plates of raw chicken before I caught it. My sous, Marcus, said I looked like a ghost by 10 PM and took over expo for me. Has anyone else had a service where every single thing goes wrong, and how do you reset for the next day?

The "fryer thermostat lied to me all night" part got me because that is exactly how bad days work. It's never one huge disaster, it's a bunch of small stuff you trust that quietly goes wrong until the whole night falls apart. Same thing happens outside kitchens, you know. The printer that jams every third page, the login that works nine times out of ten, the one step in a process that is mostly fine, and then one day all the mostly fines stack up and you're standing there wondering how you got buried. Three plates of raw chicken is a rough way to learn that lesson though. The reset thing that works for me is dumb but it helps: write down the one thing that actually broke, not the whole night, just the thermostat, and fix that before the next shift. Marcus sounds like a solid dude for stepping in.
