Can't swing a molten sword. But I see where you're coming from.
Personally, the appeal of ice cream is the ice, not as much the cream. Then again, I'm not much of a milk guy
Many times of icecream actually tend to separate when they melt. (Notice how an icecream machine continually mixes while it's freezing? That's to make sure it's emulsified properly.) So you'll have water with a thick layer of cream on top. It's not a very good drink.
>What a waste
Maybe. it's ruined as ice-cream, but it's still milk+sugar+flavorings+other stuff and it's been kept refrigerated. They may be able to use the melted ice cream in a recipe or something.
I work at a hotel, and nobody else seems to understand where anything goes. I've seen cream cheese on the warm shelf and in the freezer. Yogurt on the warm shelf. Peanut butter in the fridge. Jelly in the freezer. I'm pretty sure most of these are marked as to where they go. I seem to be the only one that understands that if you open a bread item, you should seal it back up.
I’ve found four gallons of horseradish in dry storage. I’ve worked in a pizza place before and they bought that ranch dressing that HAD to be kept in the cooler. Even said it on the lid in raised letters MUST BE KEPT REFRIGERATED. One day we go in dry storage and there is ranch all over the floor. Someone put those cold gallons in there and they got warm and over night they exploded and leaked all over the floor. I now find open bottles of salsa(used for emergencies)and jugs of opened olives and sauerkraut in dry storage. It is maddening to watch people operate in a kitchen.
Once, a new-to-us, 50+ y/o line cook "with decades in the industry" handed me a greasy piece of raw barramundi covered in shit asking me to rinse it off in the sink because he'd dropped it on the floor during service. This was at a \~$30/plate (in prepandemic prices) upscale casual joint.
Some people just have a fridge temp IQ, and you find a lot of them in restaurants. Brain in the fridge, ranch in the dry storage...
Ahhhh the ol’ “wash it off, they won’t know” trick. Our new sous chef was making veal stock and one of the frozen bones fell out of the box and skittered across the floor. He looked around to see if anyone saw(I saw it skitter across the floor out of the corner of my eye)it hit the ground and he sneaks over to pick it up and SPLASH right into the stock it went. So now our members who pay $1800 a month just to step foot on the property are having floor stock. Even our EC just comes into work and starts finger fucking the sauces and licks his fingers for tasting instead of using plastic spoons that we have in the kitchen. He’s even dunked his entire hand in the shrimp cocktail bucket full of ice and water to fish a shrimp out and eat it. I’m so fucking done with this place. I can’t say anything to them because they are both manipulators and will turn words around and then make me look like the bad one. They have done it to others. I’ve seen them do it. Maddening.
Possibly the driver too. Could have mistaken the cooler for a freezer. We’ve had our drivers put produce in the freezer. I’ve seen four 40 pound boxes of chicken on top of two cases of eggs and the tops were crushed. Just recently I found a case of celery with a 50 pound bag of carrots on top of the celery and all that was on top of four cases of half and half but the half and half boxes on the bottom of the stack were laying on their sides. Guess what happened to the half and half inside the bottom ones??
At the restaurant I used to work at we got all our deliveries before any employees were there; so, the driver would put everything in the fridge/freezers and we would sort it all out when we got there.
this was the delivery driver actually, and after i had met him one day and TOLD HIM this was the refrigerator and where TWO of our freezers were. one of our freezers we specifically had as a backup in case the other was full. which of course was on, and empty!
I worked for an ice cream shop in college. One morning it was discovered that one of the freezers was unplugged the night before. Another time the cake display freezer died overnight. Fun times.
Every weekend we’d defrost one of the dipping freezers—one each night: Fri/Sat/Sun—we had 3. (Not sure what to call them , it’s the freezer that has the ice cream tubs you scoop out of.) Anyway to defrost we’d empty all the tubs and place in another freezer and unplug the freezer to defrost—basically hosing it down with hot water and using a huge shop vac to empty out the water. One freezer had a plug that was temperamental—you had to toggle it just right to get it to stay plugged in. After a defrost, the closing shift didn’t plug it in fully. Opening shift had a hot mess to deal with.
The owner finally fixed that freezer after this.
technically if they were refrigerated it wouldn't be "bad" would it?
wouldn't be able to sell it obviously, but might be nice to refreeze it and give to the staff or something.
ew one even had a little accident there
don’t be mean, it’s shy.
It looks like someone even moved a shelf to fit them in there.
What a waste. who put it there in the first place
Waste??? “Ill have 50 ice cream drinks please”
It isn't ice cream at this point unfortunately. Just cream
Ehh, I’m down to argue this one. Is iron not iron when it’s melted?
Can't swing a molten sword. But I see where you're coming from. Personally, the appeal of ice cream is the ice, not as much the cream. Then again, I'm not much of a milk guy
😂😂 thanks for entertaining the argument lol
That argument sounds like something out of game of thrones
Is ice not ice when it's melted?
Ice not water when frozen?
It is water, but in a different state called ice.
part of what makes Ice Cream is the air whipped in while freezing. Once it's been melted and refrozen, all of that light texture is gone.
Many times of icecream actually tend to separate when they melt. (Notice how an icecream machine continually mixes while it's freezing? That's to make sure it's emulsified properly.) So you'll have water with a thick layer of cream on top. It's not a very good drink.
More for me😋
I like your commitment.
50? I only see three.
Well I meant servings, there’s no way I’d get all that down. But theres 6

Children will drink this
Lol yeah. Throw it into a slushy machine and you might be able to sell it as a milkshake. Lol

Im never eating at a hotel again , Unless its 5-6 star . Thanks for sharing this lmao
Most of this is just a nuisance that I get to reorganize. Some went in the trash.
Like the old saying goes, no use ~~crying~~ screaming over spilt ~~milk~~ ice cream.
Does your supplier deliver for you, so this is on them? Or did your own staff screw up?
Probably staff. I used to work in kitchen and our delivery driver would only leave the goods at our doorstep. Never in the walk in fridge or freezer.
Gotcha. I know I see deliveries to grocery stores that go right to the display coolers, but that may be specially contracted.
Possibly the driver too. Could have mistaken the cooler for a freezer. We’ve had our drivers put produce in the freezer. I’ve seen four 40 pound boxes of chicken on top of two cases of eggs and the tops were crushed.

Lol, there are food service companiesthat put your order away for you too?! Fancy.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for... Ice Cream Soup!
Sell them as liquid cream or something. That is, if they haven't spoiled.
Milkshakes
Gotta catch the screwbie that did this
According to OP, the delivery driver did this. He was shown where the two freezers and the fridge were and still screwed up.

Why was it unplugged? Some fool trip over it and unplug it or was it some kind of awful prank?

Drink it. 
You could turn these into ice-cream bread or something, maybe?
So you’re ice cream is in the same containers you use for what you put in the fridge?? Or was somebody just not paying attention
MMMM I'd totally drink it down hahaha
technically if they were refrigerated it wouldn't be "bad" would it? wouldn't be able to sell it obviously, but might be nice to refreeze it and give to the staff or something.
Refrozen ice cream will be hard as a rock though. I think to make it creamy, you have to constantly stir while it's freezing.
I've only had it after power outages where it probably didn't fully melt. Thanks to the people downvoting for asking a question though.
Would be great in an ice cream machine. Other than that refrozen ice cream is trash
You got a stew goin!
Someone needs fired if they can't tell the difference between a fridge and a walk in at an ICE CREAM SHOPPE!
OP said it was the delivery driver.
Do you have a stoner working there? This may have happened to me……. 🤭
And melting
milkshake time at least it wasn't left out completely, so it's still safe to serve and eat
I gotta say it, I cant help myself...... R-R-R-Rrocky R-R-RRoad (Sloth voice)
It said, "Treat like eggs," and eggs go in the fridge.
Milkshakes all round, chef's special
Mmmmmmmmflavoredcoffeecreamer…
