Does five guys metro Vancouver have milkshakes??

Does anyone know if any of the five guys in or around metro Vancouver has milkshakes? the location I usually go to has never had milkshakes, but according to their website the one down town is supposed to have them but when I went today they also didn’t have milkshakes. I can’t find anything online about five guys in Canada not having milkshakes, every location advertises milkshakes but doesn’t actually sell them, I’m so confused?

Refused peanuts

I walked in an ordered two cheese burgers, excited about some free peanuts. They had multiple boxes on the floor, all taped up. When I asked if I could open a box, they all huddled together and looked at me before saying "no, we've given away too many today. Sorry" Seems super greedy considering the $25 I just spent on 2 cheese burgers. I filed a customer service complaint on the website. Has anybody experienced this before?

My girlfriend

My girlfriend is in the hospital who works for five guys and her boss threatened to fire her if she doesn’t show up even though she will have a doctors note. Then her boss changes just her schedule by the day to not working a double to working a double without notifying my girlfriend.

gm question

Hey I just had a quick question. The closing manager at my store for tonight called out and I was scheduled from 4-9pm because I have to open tomorrow morning. Now since I am also a manager I am expected to close tonight if no one else can. I tried calling other coworkers and they can't come in. My Gm is the only one who is off today and tomorrow but she has plans. So if I said I could not stay, would she have to come in?

My boss scheduled me while I was out of the country

I put in request for time off well in advance and he approved it. Tell me why when I got back my coworkers said I had been on the schedule for the last week. You know, the week I was in A WHOLE DIFFERENT CONTINENT. My coworkers knew I was going to be gone so they weren’t mad a me. But management sucks so bad there that they are leaving. :(

Anyone else find it hard as fuck to quit here?

No other place pays this much for unskilled work. All the other fast food and retail near me pays about 15 a hour no tips no bonuses or anything. I make 19 hourly but we also get cash tips which ends most days being an extra $1 a hour. We also get online tips which is an extra $80 a week. And then on top of that most weeks I’m on at least one 100 shopper so that’s another $60 a week extra. So by the end of the week I’m making about $500- 600 for only 25-30 hours. I want to quit but everything I look at other places it’s just not enough. Even places that start out at 18 still just isn’t worth it to me. I love this job dearly. I’ve been here since I was 16 but we have a staffing issue all the time and it seems like no one cares to follow rules in my store. And I’m only a shift lead so I feel like no one takes me seriously. Im getting kind of tired of the same crap everyday.

And yes I know. I shouldn’t complain if I didn’t go to school. But that is expensive.

Little Fries

Hey guys, I'm a five guys employee. I saw the post about the little fry, and decided I'd make myself one to the standard, and then lay it out on a tray like in the other post.

It absolutely doesn't look like enough to be completely fair. But this is what our full little cup + half full topper (the portion for a little) looks like. :)

Please note, I just work here.

Where are the fries?

I always get the Little fries when I get food from Five Guys. Since I order just for myself, it's generally plenty for one person. Last time I ordered delivery and this is all the fries I got. Does that seem severely lacking to anyone else, or is if just me? For over $5, I expected a lot more.

The dine-in experience at Five Guys has been ruined by app delivery services

As a 15 year+ dine in customer of five guys, ever since the Pandemic, I feel the experience eating in has been ruined. It not only takes longer to get my food but also if I ever need any attention from the employees, I have to compete with the army of delivery drivers to get my voice heard.

Scheduled Interview at a Location that’s NOT Hiring?

I had a scheduled interview with a nearby location, just to arrive and be told the manager isn't there. After further contact, I learn the location isn't even hiring.

If the company doesn't care about people's time, I have no more need of the company.

Immediate help needed: Five Guys mayo recipe?

Got five guys for dinner… cheese burger, add three patties (5 total). I’m bulking but trying to cut carbs so I did a “bowl”, I.e., no bun. This was great, and I asked for mayo… my butler said they put it on the side. Sure enough when he got home, it was in a side container.

So then I decided to dip my large Cajun fries in the mayo. It was absolutely divine. I almost forgot to eat the burger… ended up scarfing the five patties just to get back to the fries quicker. It was one of the most decadent dining experiences I’ve had in days, maybe weeks.

TLDR, can someone give me the five guys mayo recipe so I can pass it along to my butler?

First time this happened to me in public .....

I know the cost of things has been up for a while and we've been feeling it hard, but we did a trunk or treat at a movie theater near us, and across the way is five guys. It poured down rain on us (two toddlers) so I thought how fun would it be to hop into five guys, get some milkshakes, fries and burgers! Over $10 for a child's burger, just the burger. That's crazy. I started ordering, and then I looked at the lady and I said "You know what, I'm so sorry, this is so expensive, and I honestly can't afford this. I guess I'll just take a large fry and a milkshake and we'll all share it." At least she was nice about it, she was like yeah I know I understand sorry about that.

If the four of us had gotten 1 burger each, 1 large fry to share and 2 shakes to split, it would have been $80 🙃😩

Waiting for fries

I went to Five Guys for the first time yesterday. A branch in London. I ordered cheeseburger and fries. Cheeseburger was ready in a few minutes but had to wait six minutes more for the fries. This was at 18.30 so it was really busy and I couldn't understand why fries weren't being cooked continuously especially as 5 orders were backed up waiting for them. Surely there should be a ready supply of fries to go, especially in such a busy period. Seems odd to keep customers waiting for such a basic part of a meal. Is this usually the case with Five Guys?

Am I the only one that wishes they had a smaller option for fries?

With the amount of extra fries that they give in the bag, usually half the fries end up being thrown away.

Anyone know a workaround for FiveGuys not making mobile order fries right away?

Everytime I place a mobile order at Five Guys, they prepare my burger beforehand, but they wait until I arrive at the store to prepare my fries. I was made aware that this is their policy. Is there any workaround to this?

It kinda defeats the purpose of mobile ordering being that I want my order to be ready when I get there. It wouldn’t be a big deal if it took 2-5 minutes to bag the fries, but on multiple occasions my location takes upwards of ten minutes to finish my order (even when 20+ minutes has elapsed since i placed the mobile order to when i arrived).

I get that the premise is to make sure your fries are guaranteed fresh, but it damages the entire mobile ordering experience. Call me impatient but five guys is the only place that does this. I will be surprised if I’m in the minority here, but there’s gotta be people that feel the same way lol.

If any store manager or corporate FiveGuys person is reading this, please change this policy, it makes a system built for convenience very very inconvenient.
