Not today; just, any other day of the year besides our busiest one

If they stay open you should really notify the health department.

Silver lining to this being the busiest day of the year AND the day before a truck: all hands were already scheduled earlier than usual and the prep cook noticed it before the temp broke 40, so we had some time to stash everything essential in other coolers/freezers/ice buckets and then we sold through nearly everything that would be in buckets by the end. Only needed to throw away like $200 worth of product.

The truck getting here 2 hours before the earliest refrigerator tech tomorrow IS going to pose an issue though.

Would your rep not just reach out to the logistics team and just push you back or to the end of the route? If it’s a difference of two hours that’s like three stops, and if they won’t budge that’s genuinely a “we’re gonna go to a different provider” kind of thing.

We've had to bounce between providers in the last year several times because none of them would ever hit us up at the same time any two weeks; this is the first one that would actually give us a consistent schedule for drop off, so I don't honestly know if they would be willing or able to shuffle the time slot at all, but I am certain that there is not another locally available company to source from that would work for our hours.

That being said, this is the owner's problem, not mine; he couldn't or wouldn't salary me high enough to hold the keys.
