Dine-in Up

   When a pizza comes out the oven a person at the cut table has a little screen that tells them where it goes. Whether carryout- where they put it in our hot box. Or delivery, where they call out "delivery up" and hand it to either a driver or the person running the dispatch station.(The dispatch station- for those of you playing the home game- is where we take the drivers money ad decide where we send them with what orders.) Or If it is a dine-in pizza we get it ready and place it on the counter and call out "Dine-in up."  This lets the server know they need to come get a pizza. Well #2 shift manager calls out Dine-in up. Frankie is the server, he is on the phone with a customer.He turns and acknowledges her. #2 sees this and calls it out again, and again, and louder. And for the rest of the night she is just yelling at poor Frankie. Well I send Frankie on a 30 minute break. (Yes, this does sound familiar to Fight Night.) #2 takes over the dining room. As soon as a pizza comes up, Frankie popped out from under the counter or from behind a picture or something and started yelling in her ear, "Dine-In up" he yelled 3 or four times at her then obfuscated back into the wall leaving #2 pissed and confused. I thought it was beyond hilarious and had to step outside to keep people from seeing me undermine another shift manager by laughing at their misfortune. Good times.
