The last of the 12 units was picking up there overnight pack outs when we discovered that the aluminum foil had been left out of all of the other units milk crates. The other 11 units were spread all around the camp at various overnight locations. Without the aluminum foil it would be very difficult for any of them to cook their hamburgers. So we know they had to have it but taking it out to them would have taken to long and besides opposite sex staff was not allowed to visit overnight sites. We did the only thing we could we put the aluminum foil in a milk crate behind the dining hall with a sign apologizing for the the mistake.
We know when the units realize that they were missing a very important part of their camp out pack they would send someone back to the main area to get it. Satisfied we had done all we could we went to town and had a good time.
The next morning we returned to work and cooked breakfast. We served breakfast as normal while unbeknownced to us the units were plotting their revenge. We decided that Kyle could handle the tray return himself because at breakfast there were only a few plates per table be returned by the waiter. The rest of us sat down at the back room to eat our own breakfast. As soon as the dining hall manager turned on the white light every table's waiter got up and brought up everything left of the table back up to the window. Empty milks, trash platters and juice containers. Kyle was overwhelmed with stuff. The rest of the kitchen staff immediately sensed there was a problem and all being team players we rushed up to the window and started sifting though and clearing the counter. In no time we had taken care of all the things that had been brought back and closed the window.
Immediately Lee called us back to the back of the kitchen and gave us strict orders that there was to be no retaliation for this act. We agreed knowing that we had only gotten what we deserved and confident that if we had retaliated we would have certainly won this tit for tat. We were after all the kitchen staff and certainly could have served up some really bad meals. Liver and brussel sprouts anyone?
