Orientation #2

It was a much more hands on experience compared to first session.

First up was nacho arranging, which is quite difficult. The standard is 32 whole chips and 8 partial ones...the amount you actually get varies greatly, usually on the plus side.

Next was a tour of the concession stand, man there are a loooot of cupboards and drawers. Backup of cups, lids, straws, oil, flavour packets, everythinnng. Lots of locations to memorize as well. The bib room is pretty cool, there's a whole wall full of syrups! There's also a crazy huge ice machine along the opposite wall.

The main event of the day was teaching us how to work the popcorn machine and drink fountain.
The Popper is way more dangerous than it looks, also way easier to operate. I have been told that every girl that has ever worked there has a scar down their chest from a flying kernel XD Precisely measured corn + perfectly leveled off scope of popcorn salt + one push of a oil button + 3 minutes later = perfect popcorn. Buy some the next time you watch a movie at Empire ;D
Fountain drinks are also very precise. Scientific study has showed at cold drinks are best served with 1/3 ice. After the ice is in the cup, just place on the titled tray and the machine automatically fills it up. Once the drink has reached the rim, it touches a metal alloy of some sorts, completes the circuit and shuts off the machine.

Perfect drink to accompany your perfect popcorn :]
