Fourth Week Spring Quarter

My assignment is the snack bar, where we have a chance to learn how a fast food operation works, which includes taking grill orders from customers. I rotate with "twitchy" to every station and he seems most comfortable making pizzas at this one. Once in awhile I get a chance to make a pizza or two, but mostly find myself flipping burgers and wrapping them. I am avoiding lifting the deep fry baskets, since the last time I worked the snack bar the repetitive motion of lifting them created an inflammation in my arm that has lymph edema.
Although we pay a hefty lab fee to cover our personal food consumption, there are specific rules about what food we are allowed to eat. The soups are always available to us and we can have anything off the cafeteria line when it is open for our lunch. Burgers and fried foods must be paid for out of pocket. Soft drinks are unlimited and we can eat the pizza only if we are working the snack bar. We can taste the food we make but are not allowed to take anything home unless we pay extra for it as an independent customer.
The cost of a full cafeteria meal, with an entree and two side dishes is $3.95. Desserts are generous sized and sell for 35 cents. The real deal is the bread that the bakery doesn't sell is priced at 3 loaves for one dollar. I have not replaced my broken bread machine because of the cheap bread I can purchase at school.
In theory practice we make biscotti and vegetables in pastry dough.
