Pro tip: Breaking the cardboard bailer jam with a broom handle
Worked at a grocery store in Portland last summer and the cardboard bailer jammed up every single shift. Nobody wanted to deal with it, so the pile would just sit there for like 3 hours. Finally grabbed a cheap broom handle from the maintenance closet and wedged it in there to push the cardboard down while hitting the reset button. Took about 45 seconds and the stupid thing ran smooth the rest of my shift. Has anyone else found a weird trick that made a broken machine behave?

Oh, I've been there. That broom handle trick is solid - I used the same method when I worked at a big box store back in the day.

That broom handle trick from @nancyn69 is genius, my buddy tried something similar but used a wooden spoon and it snapped halfway through the shift. He ended up having to fish a soggy mop head out with his hands, not a great day.
