I work at a hotel resort and we sell a lot of ballpark style nachos. Nobody likes making the chips. I hate making the chips but stayed 2.5 hours after my shift ended so that we can feed another horde tomorrow. Is 5 days use by date too short for chips? And what are these boxes called??

Holy shit, I hope you weren’t clocked out. Fuerte.
You did a great job.
You stayed after you were assured you would be compensated correctly yeah?
5 days is not too short, it’s probably too long. Most chips like that will go stale in 48 hrs. Also, they’re called lexans. Also, it annoys me that you didn’t match the sizes of the lexans up, but that’s strictly a me thing
those big containers are usually called lexans right?
When I dip you dip
I am also chip person🥲. 15 deep hotel pans every morning before we open out of a small fryer
All these people shitting on you, lol. Good job getting it done when everyone else was too lazy to. Better they get them stale than nothing at all
Industry slang for those is “lexan”, but the technical term is “food tote”. Iirc, “lexan” is the trademarked name for the kind of plastic it’s made from
slide me some? I have a gallon container of chili con queso I need to use 👀
Chilaquiles on the go
Grab me some salsa!
I hate this task….
As long as you let them cool properly before putting a lid on them they will last a week no prob
Good shit chef
Hella chips!
Thank you for your service. 🫡
Man this takes me back to when I had to prep like 6 tubs of tortilla and 6 of wonton chips every Saturday and Sunday morning. Was in a big college town and football season was just dumb busy.
Good on you. I have also lived in the chip mines, chipping away chips in the wee morning hours to prepare for service. The opener will sing your praises.
Hell yeah. Chips is where I started. Worked at a high scale Mexican restaurant when I was a kid. When the world cup was going on, we would go thru 9-10 of those giant Lexans a night.
The chip chick?
I hope you go through em or else that’s gonna be a lot to toss…
Though I’ve made that mistake myself lol
Love your work
As someone who has had to stay extra hours to make chips, I salute you 🫡
I love you chip girl!
This subreddit is dangerous to my health…. I swear half these posts just make me want to eat god damn it.
5 days is what i give mine too
How small is your fryer? Chips take 90 seconds. That’s a good pile of chips but it’s far from extreme. Two and a half hours is extreme
Hell fucking yes. I remember being sauté cook and one random weeknight the fry cook called out. I was thrown in there because I showed up on time I think (on time being an hour early att ☹️)- my beloved station went down quickly as they realized the grill cook couldn’t handle both (fucking DUH)
All this to say fry station is HARD and BUSY, yet looked down upon. I’ll admit I was pissed to be pulled from my station to fry fries but fuuuck if I didn’t become a better line cook/lead for it.
I love making chips. Depending on your hourly I would call it candy money.
Chip girl=real mvp.
I remember some years back I briefly took a desperation job at a Chili’s and ended up being on fryers for my few months I was able to put up with there. Had to make 2 stacks of bins every morning, stacked to the ceiling. Shit was dookie.
