Butter temperature drama solved by a bakery note I found
Was prepping croissants at 6am and my butter kept splitting, then I spotted a sticky note in the walk-in from the night baker saying 'blitz it 30 seconds less'. Tried that with my stand mixer on medium, dough came together way smoother. Has anyone else got weird shortcuts written on random equipment around their kitchen?

Sounds about right that the night baker solves your problem with four words on a sticky note while you are standing there at 6am fighting with butter like it owes you money. The walk-in is basically the kitchen version of a bathroom wall, except instead of phone numbers you get actual useful tips. My old place had "do not touch my bench scraper" taped to the bench scraper, which was less of a shortcut and more of a threat. Half the real training in a bakery is just reading whatever angry note the last shift left behind.
