manufacured piston valve

yea pretty much.

I hated the people who would come in 5 min b4 closing and order like 5 double cheese burgers.... after i cleaned the grill.....

... of course soon after they leave we'd get complaints of the buns being soggy from pickle juice... i had no idea what they were talking about

Replace 5 with 20 and you describe what would happen during the 2 for $2.00 thing we had last year... REALLY LAME. Did you guys have the automated chain grill or the stupid flat grill? Our Chain goes on the fritz every few days, so we have to clean the F***ing flat every night after day shift doesn't scrape it, thus making the crap get set in really bad! My boss kept me for an hour because she didn't know how to clean it! I facepalmed in my mind lol Soda water is amazing stuff, you dumb skank!

we had the old fashioned flat grill... real pain in the ass.... hadda clean it every night.

Soda water is the shit! takes everything right off.

Ahh yes, cleaning the griddle. I used to be a chef at a Bistro and we had this crazy stuff to clean the flat-top. It was so strong it we had to use it after we closed because of the smell. It worked really good though, probably would eat the soles off your shoes.

So on my ship we have an soft serve ice cream machine, and I was looking at it the other day when I realized that the dispenser piston is a 1" piston with perfect notches and o-rings and all it needs is a check valve to be stuck in a cannon.

You know your a spudgunner when u visualize a ice cream machine part being used in a gun... no but seriously i've seen what your talking about and its a good idea, know only if u could remove one while they are not looking.

hah.... at my DQ they have all the cameras on the workers and not the random customers! i don't think they'll be to kindly towards "borrowing" a valve off of a $2000 ice cream machine.....

...but it would be cool

Nice stories you guys told here.

Also, its kinda cool to find such parts in icecream machines! Search for spare parts or even dial the manufactuer, maybe those pistons are sold as spare parts!

one night we had a girl who was really stoned refill the butterfinger with bacon bits... by the next morning we had a customer (with kosher beliefs) who now get ice cream free for life.

when I worked nights i would trap raccoons in our dumpster compactor, not smash them, just close them in... well 6 hours later when the store opened and the janitor would take out the first round of trash, it often would be his surprise to find a scared to death raccoon flying at him... fun times

I used to hate the "chain grill" aka nieco... got to where I could disassemble/clean/reassemble in less than 20min... the worst is boiling the fryers though... could do all 3 in 45min with magnesium sulfide....

about the "deadly ice cream machines" when cleaning when you flush them with water, dont open the two black knobs on the front without de-pressurizing the machine, watched a co-worker get thrown backwards 12 feet into a counter... it ripped off the whole face plate on the machine and stripped the screw threads, ruined the machine and got the girl a week off
