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.
