I work at a fast-food poke kiosk in my local mall. When I started, we often had multiple people working a shift. For some unknown reason, the manager has expected ONE employee to handle the morning/afternoon shift and another employee to work the evening/closing shift on the weekdays.
The problem is that lately, we've gotten quite popular, making it hard for one person to multitask (work the register, make food and drinks, prep ingredients, wash dishes). More often than not, we've run out of mixer cups and bowls because of how bogged down we can get (even with two people on shift on the weekends).
Multiple employees have complained to the manager, but nothing has been done to solve the problem. We haven't gotten any new employees to help out despite people expressing interest in working and customers complaining that we need more help.
