I hope you never want to eat at a fast food place again
Sometimes I watch the local news when I'm bored and they always have stories of health code violations in restaurants and fast food places. Most of the time it is stupid stuff like "the hairnets aren't being put on properly" or "one man found a fingernail in his food" but I've come to tell you the truth.
Before you read any further, you must know that I am a manager at a stupid smoothie and sandwich shop. I hate my job. I hate my boss. I hate the people. Luckily for me, I get to quit at the end of the summer, so I don't really care about the job. Also, since I am a manager, I get to do anything I want. I take advantage of it all the time.
So, there are two ways I make sandwiches at my job: The way I make them for myself and the way I make them for you, the customer.
Mine Yours
Stainless Steel Sinks | Kitchen Sinks
| My Sandwich | Your Sandwich | |
| Lots of awesome meat | ||
| Lots of pussy vegetables | ||
| Fresh mayo | ||
| Really old stale cheese |
As you can see, I put all the meat on my sandwich and put practically none on yours. Instead, I put lots of sprouts and lettuce on yours to make you think it's a big sandwich... and I even use the nasty old brown lettuce.
To top it off, I don't use gloves or wash my hands. Hell, it's not like you know the difference. I've yet to get a complaint from someone telling me the sandwich tastes like it was made without gloves. You should be thanking me for it anyway. Do you really want nasty glove-powder residue on your sandwich?
Speaking of complaints, the complaint I love the most is, "I'll never come back here again!" It always makes me laugh how people say that in a "you should care" tone, because I don't. It's not like I get paid based on how many customers come in, and the fact that I you're not coming in anymore gives me one less thing to do during the day. The first rule you need to know about a fast food place is that everyone there hates you (unless you tip well).
So, next time you go into a restaurant or fast food place, don't think about the little stuff like hair nets being put on correctly. Think about every fake smile and laugh from the people who are helping you, and know that behind the scenes they are probably fucking up your food... bad.
