If you follow me on Facebook you may have seen my post that read "Breathe in, breathe out, repeat. I can do this."
Well we have a new manager at work. She's nice, knowledgeable and has plans that aren't open much for discussion. Basically she is working on increasing the parts of the store that are doing well and trying to find new ways of bringing people in.
One of the plans involves increasing the number of donuts that we fry every day. I don't object to that but although it doesn't seem like it would strenuous, lifting all those racks in and out of the fryer is tough on my back. Then on top of it I have to do a daily breakout of product for the next day and it involves lifting a lot of heavy boxes. She is sympathetic to this problem at least and has made some changes that will help ease the added strain.
She wanted to me to advertise on our Facebook page that we increased the donuts. I put these pictures up.

Oh MY, these all look so good! and I bet it smells so good when you bake them. It is good that she is open minded to your ideas! So is the son gone? Or she just comes in to manage for him?
I’m glad she’s a reasonable person, but I hope you don’t hurt your back. Please take care.
Dear Ann, I really want to eat a Donat now :-)) Today is Sunday, my husband bought rolls at the bakery that is open until 10 a.m.... but I don't think there would have been any Donats anyway.
This is how I put my cranberry jam on the bun :-)))
You did a great job setting a visual example for your boss. Super!
Happy Sunday and best regards to you.
are you posting on your page? if so the public doesn't see them, these would bring in a lot of people to shop and need to be on a Store Page open to the public.. yes, I am a know it all. ha ha... I like the orange drizzle, perfect
I like your idea...better still. I want one of those last ones! I bet I could eat at least two and I dont think I have ever eaten two at the same time!
Be careful with your back...
and now I need a donut or 2. These look so good! What a great idea in showing her the difference. I am a visual learner and this is exactly what I would have wanted to have seen. they look great! Hope the work load loosens up for you. Happy Sunday...
Ann would I be correct in 'assuming' the new manager is a young whippersnapper? At least she 'listened' about the lifting.
Woohoo sometimes showing an idea is better than saying it.
I love the orange drizzle. I bet it is much easier to drizzle across the pan than put the orange inside.
I agree with the customer on the last tray

Sounds like she's a reasonable manager. You were smart to show her the difference! Those donuts look so good!
Good job on showing her your plan. I hope they don't end up putting too much extra work on you. It does sound like she's pretty reasonable. All of the donuts look delicious!!
With a description like the donuts in your last photo, sign me up :) I like your idea better too. Orange frosting would not look that appetizing on the inside, in my humble opinion. I hope your back will be okay and I would complain bitterly if it wasn't.
I know that it can not be easy having a new manager. Sorry about all the extra work you have to do. She does sound like you are able to talk to her and she likes your idea. It all looks so good....Yum!
Oh my they look so good. I want one.
At least the new manager is willing to change her mind when a better idea comes along. Hopefully you will work together well.
You were very wise with creating your product and then running it by her. I don't think I would like the idea of an orange filling and I think you got the Halloween vibe down without coloring the filling. Good job! I hope you can work with the new manager. I am hopeful!
