Potatoes currently going in. I told the guy “maybe I’m being ocd but i’d really clean that out with bleach first if you’re putting potatoes in it” and he mumbles some shit at me
Wow i guess i am being ocd since the sous chef and dining director looked at me like im crazy for bringing it to their attention
What’s salmonella, what’s campylobacter, what’s cross contamination, how are you going to make me sit through 3 hours of servsafe bullshit i don’t need and then make me watch as others fail even the most basic aspects of it
Salmonella? Pretty sure that’s just a cold, like the flu.
Salmoneller? I hardly know 'er
It comes from salmon, not chicken , it’s in the name
A call to the health department might help his attitude.
This lib expects calling the health department to actually cause the health department to show up


Marx credits the factory inspectors hired by the English aristocrats with unveiling the working conditions. Sometimes you find alliances in the most unlikely places.
Why have a chicken sink at all washing chicken accomplishes nothing except throwing bacteria everywhere
It helps to drain the juices off of it if it’s big bags of chicken in juices but yes I agree. Why not have a vegetable only sink
Oh sure I guess in a big kitchen setting you need a sink to drain into. I guess as long as anything else going into the chicken sink is gonna be thoroughly cooked after its probably fine regardless. I definitely wouldn’t wash anything I don’t intend to fully cook in the chicken sink though
I think that’s the operating theory that’s had this guy do this and 3 of my bosses watch him do it but it’s still a problem because it makes it easier to cross contaminate other surfaces if you’re not treating the potatoes, now contaminated, as hazardous. And if you don’t cook them as thoroughly as needed pathogens can survive etc
pathogens can survive

Probably to drain excess liquid from ice-packed bulk-shipped chicken parts
how else am I supposed to get that finger-licking dawn flavor??
I’m taking a bath in the chicken sink and you can’t stop me
It’s for chickens, not owls!

yeah, hasn’t this guy ever heard the old saying? “anything but the chicken sink!”
The sink is calling you chicken.
Pretty sure I got fired from my last job mostly because I made a stink about safety stuff that was otherwise completely normal.
Labeling chemicals? Making sure we had eye wash stations without rusty pipes? Doing regular maintainence on our equipment so motors don’t light on fire? Organizing tools so you don’t cut your finger trying to find what you need? Spending time checking equipment programming and metrics from overnight operation to make sure nothing is broken, burning out or wasting energy?
Nahhhhhhhhh. If you get rid of the person raising concerns then the problems go away, actually.
I complained in front of two of my bosses and I think it’s led to one of them telling a third boss to tell the second boss to “do an in service briefing” about cross contamination INCLUDING ME and it’s like, I don’t need to be a part of this! Also i just witnessed the chain of command become a fucking circle?
