Today, at my new fast food job, I was in charge of filtering the grease out of the fryers. I accidentally turned the wrong lever and flooded the kitchen with hot oil. It took over 3 hours to clean up, and my manager is furious. FML

Hi! OP here. I honestly didn't think this would get posted so I'm pretty surprised. They gave me a super quick run down of what to do, then everyone left the kitchen. The front cash people don't know how to do it, so I was left alone. The good thing is, it could've been way worse. My manager said that if it had flooded on the top, the fryer could've caught fire, so at least it wasn't that. I was really upset so my manager told me to go outside and have a smoke while it was cleaned up. She got mad at the kitchen people for leaving me by myself and talked to me later on. She said that everyone makes mistakes and that it was okay. I had to filter the fryers the following night, but I made sure someone was with me so I didn't **** it up again. I still have a job! Thanks for all of your comments. A lot of them made me laugh and feel better about the situation.

At least your manager wasn't a ******* and was mad at the right people instead of you. Glad to hear you still have your job!

well from experience, when getting trained or new. They usually have someone keep an eye on you the first few shifts. To make sure you got it down and to prevent accidents like this. Sounds maybe like a lack of training or putting you on a station that is some what dangerous to new people .

Your manager failed to adequately train you.

been there, done that! 7 years of it! I did it probably about 5 times, and it was usually because someone had drained one and not told me so I drain another and it overflows and it takes fooooorever to clean up. It's cool Op.

my first time filtering out I forgot to shut the burners off and I did start the fryers on fire, my manager didn't tell at me though, he took blame for it cause I wasn't properly trained

i'e done that, except the fryer shorted out and it made my boss cry because she had to call the district manager and she knows she was going to get bitched at since it was 10 am.

Ha when I worked at sonic that was practically a weekly occurrence with my idiot coworkers not paying attention.
