We spent all day at the food stand again. First big shopping list done - at least 2 to go. We made a new workstation. More painting - trying to get 3 coats on. Picked up the air conditioner from storage. (gotta figure out how to install it...) More scrubbing.... so. much. scrubbing! Imagine a 10 x 20 shed, that they had 7 kids at a time making milkshakes (i.e., ice cream everywhere, even the ceiling!) and then they had the kids do the cleaning. Oh. My!
They have trouble getting kids to volunteer in the food stand. I can tell why now. The previous manager didn't do a good job of preparing the stand. They didn't have recipes measured out. The ice cream scoops were JUNK - and all different sizes so recipes wouldn't have worked anyway. They had the ice cream tubs too high for the kids to scoop from and no one used hot water dip to heat the scoops. The knives for cutting pie were too dull to cut a pie crust. They had random utensils that had no function or were broken. But didn't have utensils they needed to get the job done. Random leftover stuff from old menus cluttering the space. Nothing was labeled. Even thr brooms were so worn out they didn't work. Geez! I'm an old fart and I don't have emotional regulation to deal with that! Poor kids!!
