r/Culvers

So, I wrote a note 2 weeks ago saying that I will be on a trip from July 5-11. It’s a mandatory trip with my summer job. My manager told me that if she’s not there, write a note. I worked 4-9:30 and I was already working overtime. I was hurrying to leave, so I wrote a note with my fill name, the days I need off, and the reason why. Yesterday, right before closing, I looked at the schedule and it said I work Monday and Wednesday. I’m confused because I made sure the not was visible for any manager to see. It was placed right on the keyboard. I made a little note on the schedule that I couldn’t work those days. We don’t open until 10 and I’ll be somewhere where there’s little to no service, so I can’t make a call.

There was one other time I didn’t show up because I was told I worked one day when I worked two, but I didn’t get terminated. I just didn’t get scheduled the following week. How many unexcused absences can I even get? Im thinking about having my mom call to tell them cause I can’t get fired. 😭

I was looking at my schedule and for all of my work days it says I am working in the Kitchen. But for one of my closes the station is "Grill Master" and I don't know what that means. Does that just mean i'm going to be the only member on the grill and won't have an offloader? I've done that before, but I have not had that station ever.

I've heard that before but I always thought it was a joke like how we call the worst person on fryers the "Fryer God", though that title was taken and passed on when the previous and first Fryer God stepped down.

Was working set when my GM pulled me aside to let me know I've been promoted!

Really excited getting my new name tag aswell as a crazy pay raise.

My question to those who are already leaders/managers is what are key things that separate someone from a trainer to a leader? Aswell as general advice for becoming a leader.

I hope to hear your guys advice and utilize it going into work!!! 😊

That suit is hot. Someone needs to make a mesh netting in top with a small battery fan to pull in air. Other than that it was fun

Ah... I finished a shift earlier and had a complaint that sent a very confusing wave of well... confusion within me. I had a guest complain... about their Turtle sundae... being melted. They immediately demanded a refund.

I'm sorry, were you expecting a scoop of custard with hot caramel and hot fudge to be NOT melted? Unsure if these posts are allowed, but that ruined my perfect day.

My brother ordered a large malt online yesterday and was told Culver’s no longer sells them. Are owners allowed to stop selling certain drinks in certain sizes at their locations? He went to a different location today and got the large.

I’d also like to mention it was the middle of the day and they weren’t low on malt powder.

Order inside at the cash register and wait the 10 minutes it takes us to get you your food in a nice, well conditioned, clean place.

You don’t want to be outside. I certainly don’t want to be outside giving you your food in your car that is currently radiating with all the concentrated heat of 10,000 nuclear bombs and doing this repeatedly for 8 hours. It’s past 100 outside and I’m in black pants and leather shoes. Have mercy. You’re at least in shorts.

It’s only for a few days, I won’t even remember your face at the cash register. I’ll forget it in a minute, just go insideeeee bro they don’t give me breaks or water.

Edit: Nevermind y’all do what you want I quit today

Does anyone have a picture of their kitchen waste sheet where you mark down everything that got thrown away?

I'm trying to redeem my birthday scoop and I don't see a delivery option, I don't have a car and my dad can't drive, he's disabled.

Simply a question, not even complaining. Are employees trained not to have any interaction other than ordering with customers at the counter?
I am always the one to say “how are you?/hows your day going?” or something similar, and most times am met with a blank stare/confusion or what comes off as a very hesitant reply.

Edit: I’ve been to 44/151 Culver’s in Wisconsin. This happens all over.
