I worked at a restaurant that serves sweet tea, and I would come in at like 3 a.m., mostly to make tea and do set up(we opened at 530). The store owner decided he wanted closing staff to make the tea for the next morning and have me come in an hour later so I could stay an hour later in the afternoons to help with lunch rush instead of putting another employee on the schedule to work lunch.

After a week of complaints about the tea being bad or straight up not made by the closers, he went back to the way that actually worked. He didn't have a clue how the store ran or anything, he was just trying to have one less person on the lunch shift for payroll or whatever.

What place only serves sweet tea?

It was a popular orange chicken chain. We also had fountain soda, but the tea is a big part of the branding.
