Tell me one interesting fact about your job that most people outside wouldn't know

I'll start first: most of the cakes you get from bakeries come in frozen and prepared. Even in really nice bakeries we get frozen bases to ensure consistency. The designs are always fresh and we put a lot of work in but most people expect a freshly baked sponge every time

There is nothing interesting about finance.

@JimboSaturn that's not true there's lots of new developments

@Soph03 I work for a grocery store chain so it's just finance dealing with that.

@JimboSaturn it's as interesting as you make it. It's not interesting for me to clean baking trays for 2 hours a day but I like the creative side to decorating too!

@Soph03 I like it. I like creating spreadsheets and getting to the bottom of why things are unprofitable. Just yesterday I found a big costing issue. It's interesting to me, but probably not to other people.

Did you know that in grocery stores, most of the money is not made at the retail level, but our wholesale sales to the store.
