Introducing myself as the new mod!

25 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

146 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.

If this ad is correct, it appears Atlas is looking for a new CFO. Part of the new role is to close and liquidate MN stores apparently. Time for all MN Atlas employees to start asking the tough questions to Don Jones and James Chung. Ya know, since there are no DMs in the state.

[Tip] New brisket sammie

Post image
22 Upvotes

Dude talk about a disappointment. I got two slices of meat that were so chewy and just all tendon that I ended up not eating my other half of sammie. Between that and the bread being the size of a glorified bread stick oozing in BBQ sauce… I think I have had my last sammie from what used to be a favorite place.

[Story] Thinking about quitting

2 Upvotes

I really need some advice from other JJ'rs.

I have been thinking about quitting for a while. It wasn't because of one specific event, I just don't get paid jack shit and I am fucking sick of the hours I work. I'm still in HS, and somehow a PIC. I work nearly 25 hours a week, with school and my side work on top of that. JJs keeps the money for my car payment coming in but otherwise I can't stand it.

My GM's are very bipolar, they let us do almost anything, but if they come in one day and are slightly annoyed they're rude the whole fucking shift. I get like that too, we all do, but I make sure that my team knows I'm not upset with them unless I am, in which I tell them. I don't get it. It doesn't feel worth it to me.

If I leave I know I'll miss my people, even the ones I hate. I'll miss working with my best friend, and my favorite driver, and even my GMs when they're in a good mood. But it just doesn't feel worth it. I work all weekend including an open-close on Sunday. I don't get time to work on school or recharge.

I'd like to talk to my GMs about it but because we are a large franchise I highly doubt they'll be able to pay me what I want.

What do I do?

Merrychef oven deli paper?

1 Upvotes

We got a few boxes of deli paper that says it's to be used in the merry chef oven. Anyone know what it's for? We were thinking maybe the Thanksgiving sandwich but they don't usually send that type of thing so early.

[Story] Quartered puckle update:

Post image
22 Upvotes

I went back today for a sandwich and ordered a quartered pickle again. The store seemed to still be serving the spears and quartered pickles so I pet them know theyre just for the lunch boxes. In a couple weeks I'll do a follow up under a new name or send someone to get my order to see if theyre still serving quarters of spears. My judgement to call corporate is simply going to be determined by my 3rd pickle experience. The supervisor seemed confused by the ticket but gave the pickle as a quick fix in order to avoid confrontation I assume? Which i applaud. Hopefully they follow up with their trainer in the next few weeks. I'll update when I order Pickle 3. I am satisfied so far, even though my previous post was kind of joking around.

Anyone who got the pickle buddies did you receive them from a POP kit or some other way?

CMX

Are any managers experiencing extremely slow iPads when using CMX? Does anyone use paper versions for after lunches and then just filling CMX out on desktop? Looking for most efficient way to go about this.

Happy to announce I’m glad people are talking about my emails that I sent out on Tuesday the 13th from store 1**1 blocked the rest of the info so if you know you know. With that being said check your unemployment benefits, credit history and make sure your identity isn’t stolen. Unemployment papers say we’ve been working for “horizon health care services” since April. See the photo below. I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence that atlas didn’t report the exact amount I made that the other company did but it’s convenient. If you want any info or if you have anything for us to add with evidence to any future legal action DM me, because what in the fraud is this. Also, if you don’t get same-day tips, you should probably look into how much they’re skimming off the top. Two stores in Minnesota already confirmed .
James Chung, Don Jones, and Arvey tanbunam however you spell his name will all be getting certified mail at some point from myself and the state of MN.

And remember Sexy Numbers😒

Opening multiple stores at once

8 Upvotes

Anyone else have experience opening more then one store at once? We open at 11. I was opening and at 730 my other opener texted just waking up getting dressed now. 830 hey can you find a cover? Let me know because im 40 minutes away. I was dying at the audacity. I sliced all the veggies double, baked double the bread. My inshop came in at 10. I brought a bundle of every meat since I had no idea what was sliced. Brought the bread and veggies with me and got to the other store at 1025. Everything was set up and open by 11 except the sweet tea. Of course there was surprise catering for 12. Then my inshop didnt show up. Turns out they texted the other opener at 10 saying they were sick. Had to run the shift by myself till 4. Fun fun.
