It’s unrealistic for servers and cooks to properly wash their hands before and after touching food.
You’d be washing your hands 300 times per shift.”
Unless someone who’s actually sick is touching your food, it’s really not a big deal.”

“I work in a salad place where the food is prepared in front of the customers.
We wear gloves, but they’re just for show.

“I’ve worked grocery, and yes, there are always products in the back.
The way grocery works is every time a product gets scanned, the computer automatically orders more.

The people who stock just take forever/are only allowed to stock certain aisles or products.
So, whoever said that they dont have an item is lying.
They just dont have the authority to go back there and grab something or want to.”

“I grew up on a dairy farm and worked for other farmers in the area.
I can tell you that every animal is treated very well.
If they aren’t, they won’t give milk or be worth anything on the beef market.
“Cows that might have either one in their milk were milked separately, and the milk is discarded.

“I used to work as a delivery driver for a pizza chain restaurant when I was at college.
If my shift started at 4 p.m. and finished at 11 p.m., I’d get pretty hungry.

“I’m a server and bartender.
Yes, we ABSOLUTELY talk badly about you.
Sometimes right next to you.
Every person on staff will know what a jerk you’re being cooks and managers included.
Sometimes it’s really nice stuff, too, like people who make you laugh or really sweet kids.
But if you’re awful, we’ll talk about you for YEARS.”

“ALL RESTAURANTS HAVE MICE.
It’s about how well the restaurant stays on top of it.
Listen, in the winter, mice look for two things: food and warmth.
It’s not uncommon for them to be found under the ovens when the temperatures drpp.”
