No. This makes no sense. Are you seriously saying if you saw an order for 18,000 waters pop up on your monitor you'd just say "that's fine" then spend the next three days straight filling cups?
If I were the manager of the store, I'd hope my employees would have the bare minimum critical thinking skill to ask someone first.
At the store I worked in, everyone would be given at least 12 hours notice of a catering order. We'd have everything prepped ready to go, and expect the order when it arrives. If one popped up without notice it's definitely a bug, and we're definitely not making it.
This is thinking of the order from a managers view and not a worker that generally is paid/treated like shit. Middle managers at fast food places are on the same level as lawyers and tow truck drivers.
