Introducing myself as the new mod!

26 Upvotes

Hey guys, there was never an official announcement as the owner of this sub is pretty hands off of r/jimmyjohns and reddit in general, but they decided to add me to the mod team to help clean up the backlog of reports and keep an eye on things.

I'm new to the mod thing, but I'm messing around with all the tools given.

Aside from the introduction I think it's time to add some more rules. Nothing crazy, but only being able to report a post or comment due to "no customer information" doesn't help when there are people being unnecessarily shitty to users, or for any of the many other things people do on Reddit that we shouldn't have to deal with.

So I'm going to add a couple rules against shitty behavior or spam (not that I've really seen a problem here with that, but no harm in having that option) that you typically see in other subreddits, but I'm just curious what you guys would like to see as far as rules go?

I'm not going to be a dictator and I'd like this subreddit to continue being a place for everyone to share their stories from the customer and worker side, rant/vent, ask questions, and just have fun.

Has there been anything that's bothered you but you didn't feel that you could report due to the lack of rules?

Questions? Concerns? Ideas? Maybe ideas for flairs? Feel free to comment here or DM me.

Today I'll be entertaining company I have while making food, but I'll respond as quickly as possible and will try to role out some new rules within a couple days.

Thanks!

[Shitpost] This sub is a no Snowflake zone

148 Upvotes

Been getting a lot of "Harassment" reports when someone calls another a dickhead, idiot, and other mildly offensive things.

Unless someone is being truly hateful some of y'all need to chill the fuck out. If you don't like a post downvote it.

This isn't some official JJ zone. You don't have to be clean as the air vents and ice machine. You don't have to hide in the freezer to smoke here, you won't get fired for calling your GM a dickhead.

This is a safe place for JJs employees to vent and laugh. Customers aren't excluded, but note that by default we all assume you're someone who orders a slim 6 with no cheese.

We’ve pulled two Toms and two Lulus at my store! I feel like Tom is the most common one to pull- he will be joining me on my shifts for the rest of this promotion

[Question] Future GM, Sales tips?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys!! I just got promoted to a GM at my franchise for one of our stores after being here for 6 months as a first assistant.

The store I’m being transferred too used to be a million dollar store, and has the potential to be a bonus store, the current store I’m at is one of the busiest in our franchise.

I was wondering if any GMs, upper management, etc had any tips or tricks on boosting sales? I’m really excited for the position and I want to make the store a million dollar store, maybe even a bonus store if I can!

Thanks guys!!

Meal breaks

0 Upvotes

I've realized over my many years here that not being able to take a proper meal break is common. Generally speaking I work over 9 hours a day when I manage so in my state I'm entitled to a 20min paid meal break. I start at 12pm and my gm leaves around 3pm after shift change. When im only 3 hours into my shift I'm not hungry so then I either take the lunch break then or just don't actually get a full break. I feel like this has gotta be a lawsuit like I'm left with no coverage to allow me to take my break. I don't know anyone have thoughts on this?

[Question] Pickle pal!

Is it possible to buy a pickle pal on its own? Or do you have to get the combo? I love pickles but the picklewich seems so difficult to eat and overpriced 😭

Working at jimmy johns has made me realize how unsanitary fast food places are

8 Upvotes

I have seen my coworkers and managers just be lazy and unsanitary. What they do makes my skin crawl.

When I was learning to slice and weigh meat, I was instructed to stick any excess to the side of that nasty slicer with mysterious black spots on it, and place it back when I needed more weight.

I have seen people pick trash up off the floor with their gloves on and resume preparing food. They move the trash bins around with their gloves and prepare food with them. They allow meat and cheese slices to just touch the second line bare without paper or a cutting board, I have never seen somebody clean it.

My old manager would just step on top of the lines to reach something or clean instead of getting the little ladder. Dishing hanging up to dry still have sauce/food in them.

Be wary about where you eat, these people do not gaf 😭

How are the delivery zones made?

0 Upvotes

We recently had a location open up about a block and a half away. And when I went to place an online order I get a message stating I am outside of their delivery window.

This is curious they are on one side of an intersection and I am on the opposite, one block down. Could walk there if I wanted.

Thanks
