I feel seen & appreciated 🥹 I’m a 100lb girl and those syrup cartons are heavy as fuck and restaurant work is torture and I wanted to eviscerate everyone all day every day.
Thank you but somehow not even close to the worst task I’ve had.
True, but there is a high corelation between this job task and a whole lotta bullshit.
FALCON PUNCH
The only way!
Don’t drop them off the top shelf. They do not mop up.
One time I had one up on the top shelf and “pop” spraying syrup all over me. I swear I smelled like cherry coke for a week.
It was my dream to throw one of these off the theater roof and watch it go splat. We never did that, but we did do syrup shots.
Pouring out a glass directly from these was the best perk of the job.
I am lying in bed trying to have a nap and you made my back hurt shame on you
I have been enlisted in the marines, gotten recalled, worked as a contractor, finished my undergraduate degree and now looking at my PhD. This post just made me 16 again.
Hey, congratulations.
Why was it always sticky?
It’s been over 20 years since I swapped one of these out, and my hands are still sticky. Some things won’t come out with soap… only fire…
For a good ten minutes, I was trying to work out how someone would use such a small box to change out of. “does it fold out into some silly cardboard variation of a Victorian privacy screen…” etc… thoughts until I finally re-read it.
Damn skim reading got me assuming again.
I’m still at that stage, don’t spoil ! it might dawn on me at some point
Ahh yes, the best thing to do to open it was put on a glove then vent all frustrations for that day into it.
You too broseph, practically a rite of passage
Is that the one where you poop in the box?
Nothing hits quite like freshly changed syrup and a fully charged CO2 tank
charged CO2 tank
I can still hear the sounds of the CO2 firing.
You know? I probably would have forgotten that sound for the rest of my life if I hadn’t read this.
Like when you reload the syrup and need to run the fountain a bunch, or when it’s out and just endlessly goes psh psh psh psh psh psh
Did you all get high?
That’s no2, your lungs would get sooooo mad if you did a hit of straight co2…
These are also good stress relief. The flap on the front has to be opened to expose the neck of the bag, and you can’t use a blade without risking cutting the bag. So the most common method I’ve seen (and used personally) is to throw a couple of right jabs with a closed fist right at the front of the box.
Punching the box is stress relieving.
I prefer a palm strike to a closed fist punch
sometimes i miss punching these
Sometimes I missed while punching these and I hurt my hand.
This guy knows. I actually don’t know how else you would do it?
Bat Thumb!
Brute force
