Get a call from my boss today... baker emergency
So, he calls me up and tells me he is coming to see me. I tell him I am excited 😀 then he tells me he is bringing 12 full racks of bakery product to my store and he needs to bake out of my Cafe. I tell him I am not so excited now. His oven is down and he has no choice. Baker emergency.
He laughs and tells me he will be there around 9pm tonight. Plenty of time for me to get my bake down. So I start to move, get ready to have him invade my Cafe. Tell my manager who says "psyche!" With a grin until my face does not do the smiley thing and I tell him it's a $3.7k bake being brought to us. He is unhappy. Haha
Instead of arriving at 9pm he arrives at 6pm. Not enough time and I've just started my sweets. So. I proceed to tell him what we are doing and begin baking. He stands back and watches. I am upsetti spaghetti as all his bread is massively over proofed and unsalvagable. I am in literal tears and he is laughing. "Why you stressing?!" He asks.
"Because I LOVE BREAD AND THIS IS A TRAVESTY!!!" 😭😭😭 my customers are entertained.
He agrees but proceeds to tell me his Cafe had known their oven was down since 7am and they left his product out on the floor instead of pushing it into the cooler to save it. .
So. Fuck it.
I saved as much as possible. Everything else was shit. He said it was better than he had planned on giving them. 🤣🤣 he messaged our GM and told him to get me a gift card. He was ready to be there till 2-3am I left him with an hours worth of work at 9pm. 🤣🤣
