New Cannery Procedures

I went in to work a shift at the Lindon Cannery a couple weeks ago and a couple things have changed. It used to be that when you sign up you would show up and they would take your order for any number of products in their "storage shelves," and then have you can whatever they were running short on to re-stock for future patrons.

Now they make you wait until everyone who has signed up for your time slot shows up and collect everyone's order forms. Then they look to see what the top 4 products are that everyone collectively orders (giving those items priority). They have a disclaimer that if they have enough time they will fill your entire order, but if there is not enough time, they may not. So, for example let's say I go in wanting 4 cans rice, 4 cans macaroni, 4 cans wheat, 4 cans oats and 2 cans milk and the other people working the same shift as I am also want rice, macaroni, wheat and oats. But I'm the only one who wanted milk. They will can the 4 popular items first and if there's enough time they'll work on the small stuff. They are no longer canning more than what those particular patrons come in with an order for.
