are you guys required to use gloves when handling food?Originally Posted by uknowdonti
Old job: Costco food court.
-If you want your food fresh come in the morning, especially if you want a hot dog. The same water cooking the hot dogs in the morning will be the same at the end of the day.
-Some of the employees were dirty as hell. One employee would always wear his apron to the bathroom, not wash his hands and come back to work as if it were nothing!
-If you knew the amount of food we threw away at the end of the day you would be astounded. I mean whole pizzas, dozens of hot dogs, chicken bakes, etc. Managers try hard to sell them to the employees when the store closes because if they aren't sold they must be thrown away and cannot be taken home. We could have easily donated the food to people who could have used it but understandably I presume costco does not want to get sued by any homeless people for getting sick off their food.
-In fact there is a placard on the wall that states "when in doubt throw it out".
-It's amazing how some people did not really clean and wipe the place down at the end of the day. I remember this one girl who hated washing dishes (I don't know why they put her there) who would only rinse and not use any soap, only because she wanted to get out quick. That means the pizza you're eating could have been baked upon a pan that had old cheese that had been soaking in water the previous day and not scrubbed off properly.
-If you're an employee and you pick a quarter off the ground while on the job or if you use a cup from another place (say Burger King, Jack in the Box, etc) to fill up soda from costco's machine and a manager catches you, that is seen as stealing and they have the right to fire you.
There's probably more, well I know there's more, but that's all I have for now.
i Always end up gettin' this nasty fat lady who has no gloves to give me my pizza
