    Oh yeah no I know. Food safety at restaurants is just something i have to try to not think about, the same with “i coulda made this better”

    I think a big part of people not pursuing food poisoning complaints is also the lack of certainty, like, it could have been the improperly handled McDouble making you poop your brains out, or you could just be Doing That for any number of reasons

    What gets me about this dude is it’s like, he knows better! I know he knows better! And he’s been giving me all this fucking attitude like when I told him if I were putting potatoes in the kitchen sink I’d at least bleach it first and he just grumbles at me so I don’t want to tell him “hey don’t use hot water you might literally kill someone” especially when i’m not a manager and it’s not my job

    I told the relevant people and an old coworker came and corrected him at least, but like, every time I watch people do shit like this my mind just plays the dining director telling me “i think you’re well compensated” on repeat as I’m filled with hatred over being paid about the same as this fucker

    • totally. there’s a limit to the initiative/accountability of food safety ill take in a place that treats me like a peon. ill just tell people, like friends/family etc that i wouldn’t eat there after seeing what goes on BoH.

      one of my first jobs was like that. no staff ate there and actively discouraged newbies from eating the food, primarily because of the stuff owners did/made us do.

      they thought it was funny that all their staff would turn down a free meal to walk next door and pay full price for something to eat. like we were all idiots.

      they used to get nailed with fines at every inspection, sometimes really big ones. their solution was always to cut more corners. they would fiddles with our paychecks, which made us all become twice as slow and really half-assed. plus, we took any opportunity to discourage customers from eating there so it was frequently dead and easier to chill. a completely absurd enterprise that stopped existing when it bled the baffled owners dry.
