I got Tea'd. So bad.

Last night was going quite well, really, until about 4am. I was in tetra and it was really, really slow for midweek. I had one filler of soup and some horizon, which ended halfway through the shift. I had a full hour without any tetra audit because horizon had ended and the soup was having problems.
Around 4, when I was coming back from lunch, the soup had started running again and I was going to check on a possible start-up when one of the guys who runs 4oz stopped me and told me that there were some samples sitting over there from a flavor change yesterday.

Wait, what? I was in 4oz yesterday...it ended before I came in. Second shift told me that pudding was finished and all I had was BNB.

No. Tea TOLD me that pudding ended at 2120. She just didn't happen to notice that they changed flavors at 2120 and came back up at 2148. How do you not know whether or not a run is finished? They ran for more than an hour and a half - that's about 1000 cases of pudding. How do you not notice they still have vanilla in the surge? How do you not notice that they aren't cleaning up and shutting down the machines?

Luckily they saved the samples and I was able to test and plate the stuff, but I know DK is going to have an epic freakout when he sees this.
