I took advantage of this and did my weekly Restaurant Depot trip, but about 3 minutes before I was back Alexandria called me saying we were SWAMPED. A 10-person order was rang up and severely put us behind. We had a full board and tickets hanging from the printer. In the thick of things, Alexandria even helped us in the kitchen. Ticket times were up to 25 minutes, due to: the large order, everyone coming in at once, some tickets being rung up for here, but were actually to go.
