Ahh yes, the best thing to do to open it was put on a glove then vent all frustrations for that day into it.

Don't drop them off the top shelf. They do not mop up.

You too broseph, practically a rite of passage

For a good ten minutes, I was trying to work out how someone would use such a small box to change out of. "does it fold out into some silly cardboard variation of a Victorian privacy screen..." etc.. thoughts until I finally re-read it. 

Damn skim reading got me assuming again.

I feel seen & appreciated 🥹 I'm a 100lb girl and those syrup cartons are heavy as fuck and restaurant work is torture and I wanted to eviscerate everyone all day every day.

FALCON PUNCH

It was my dream to throw one of these off the theater roof and watch it go splat. We never did that, but we did do syrup shots.

Thank you but somehow not even close to the worst task I’ve had.

I forget exactly how, but at my first job I did manage to rip one of these before, covering the entire floor in Pepsi syrup. One of the assistant managers walked in shortly after, looked at the mess on the floor I was attempting to clean up and said “it’s fine, I needed something to do anyways, go back to cash”.

These are also good stress relief. The flap on the front has to be opened to expose the neck of the bag, and you can't use a blade without risking cutting the bag. So the most common method I've seen (and used personally) is to throw a couple of right jabs with a closed fist right at the front of the box.

Punching the box is stress relieving.

Nothing hits quite like freshly changed syrup and a fully charged CO2 tank

pfft nothing compared to changing the keg on a wooden real ale rig in a British pub.

Non American here... What am I looking at?

Edit: thanks for explaining. Its not an american thing like I thought in the first place ^^

This was my second favorite part of my job at Cracker Barrel after tending the fire in the fireplace.
