My crew's obsession with gas station hot dogs is killing our productivity

I've seen more downtime from stomach issues than equipment failure. Start packing real food or suffer the consequences.

Honestly, been there with my own guys and the mystery meat special. Tbh the bathroom breaks after those things turn a 30 minute lunch into a two hour adventure. Ngl I had to start bringing extra rolls of toilet paper to the job site as a hint. Might be cheaper to just buy them a slow cooker for real chili.

You telling me chili cheese isn't a food group?

Three gas station runs a day for hot dogs seems excessive. Have you actually tracked how much time is lost to bathroom breaks versus real work? Maybe a simple log would show them the cost of their craving.
