Hygiene horror stories from food industry or cooking in general

[Anonymous No.19809005]

Stories of situations where you have witnessed bad hygiene / violations involving food preparation.

Story 1:
>Be me, 16
>Get a job clearing tables at a bar for the summer
>Really bad moldy smell behind the bar
>Assume it is just the beer/gutter/floor
>Near the end of summer, come to work to find one of the staff cleaning the ice machine / ice box
>It is caked in mold
I have never accepted ice in my drinks anywhere after that

Story 2:
>Get work doing pizza deliveries
>this was in late 90s, pizzerias still had their own delivery drivers
>The place is run by a really disgusting slob who smokes in the kitchen, smelled like he had not taken a shower in years and I would bet anything had not heard of washing your hands
>The fucking idiot keeps all of the ingredients lying around the kitchen all day
>Gag any time you walk past the shrimp, the smell is so horrible it could be weaponized

Story 3:
>A friend lets his cat walk across the dinner table, kitchen counter, plates and cutting board
>Cat goes to the litter box
>Spreads the shit everywhere
>yum

Story 4:
>So many places do not wash their vegetables or lettuce

[Anonymous No.19809063]

Continuing

Story 5:
>Early 2000s, an actual job in a kitchen
>Fairly nice place, not totally fine dining, but still better than average casual
>Kitchen gets a sous vide machine, oooooh, fancy
>It is a used machine, been in use for like a decade already, the tanks reek, no amount of cleaning gets the stink off

Those early sous vide machines took massive amounts of water and ages to heat up so lazy idiots never changed the water and it would just simmer away for months

My boss at the mall food court's eatery told me to keep an eye out for the food inspector, to turn the heat up if we see him, that we can't keep food that hot all the time or it'll dry up -- this was over 15 years ago, since then, the food inspector have their own thing to test the temperature of the food?

Remains of supermarket employee missing for 10 years found behind cooler

https://nypost.com/2019/07/22/remains-of-supermarket-employee-missing-for-10-years-found-behind-cooler/

//Larry Ely Murillo-Moncada, 25, worked at the No Frills Supermarket in Council Bluffs when he disappeared on Nov. 28, 2009, the Des Moines Register reported.

Earlier that day, his parents said he got upset and ran out of their home, prompting them to report him missing.

Police now believe Murillo-Moncada went to the supermarket after leaving home, climbed on top of the coolers and fell into an 18-inch gap between the coolers and the wall, becoming trapped.//

So for over 10 years, they did not clean that spot, and rotting meat smell was so common nobody suspected anything?

A local supermarket has birds indoors and the fresh produce is always covered in bird shit. I am not going to buy anything fresh or unpackaged from there.

i was kitchen hand at an indian for a year, one day a new pajeet chef appeared fresh off the boat. could barely speak english, couldn't understand what english he spoke through his accent, never learned his name.
one day i found a container of fennel seeds infested with some bugs. he laughed and just toasted them, ground it all up, back on the shelf.
he would use the same cloth to wipe down everything. cut up some raw chicken, wipe the board with his cloth, flip the board over, chop some vegetables, wipe the board with his cloth, flip the board over, chop some herbs.
at the end of the night i would scrub all the benches down, then hit them with the sani for a spray and wipe. beautiful, shiny, clean stainless steel benches. then he'd come behind me with his disgusting chicken cloth and wipe the bench down again, leaving it dirtier than when i started.
he was fired after a couple of months.

when i was a chef at a restaurant/bar, the owner would help out in the kitchen with prep when we had something big coming up because he's a good cunt like that.
he was shuffling shit around in the walk in when i look over my shoulder to see him scooping chips up off the floor back into the chip bucket.
"i saw that," i says.
he just looks at me while he's bent over, scooping up chips.
"customers are the scum of the earth,"
to this day the best boss i've worked for. he wound up selling the business for something like 4 million.

>the machine was not salvageable and the store no longer sells krushers
Anything that can't be thoroughly cleaned with a cloth in a fast food store is likely hiding months or years of grime or mold, a couple anons mentioned ice machines as being particularly disgusting and I can confirm that is true, same goes for the nozzles on the post-mix machines.

I worked at a pizza place back in the day, and honestly the only thing to note was that the soda machine was only supposed to be cleaned by pepsi, not us or maintenance, and they only came out once a year. Our beer taps, in comparison, were cleaned once every 2 weeks.

Also the ice machine was always filthy inside, and the shit that drains from these machines can get absolutely vile. Never, EVER get ice from any establishment.

Health inspectors should frequently check these then...but we hare a shortage of health inspectors across the west right now, increase of things like health inspectors and courthouses, housing, haven't caught up with the population explosion. My local Loblaws and Longo regularly sell moldy vegetables on the discount cart, and sometimes they get moldly before. Also a vicious cycle where because the local supermarket in the city is so gross, people drive or even take the bus to the suburbs where the products are rotated faster -- haven't sat in traffic as long -- so the city selection gets worse.

In the mid 90s, I worked for a chain resto whose name sounded a little like Benjamin's. Was a manager. Store in suburban Detroit had gotten closed by the health department. A bunch of managers flew out to clean it up to reopen.

Ohboy.jpg

Every corporate resto has the wall of chicken. Thawing and held in the big lexan tubs. We pulled the tubs and there were wings mashed into the wall, rotting.
The deli slicer had maggots in the motor and the stone.
The dish tank didn't hit 100F.
The hoods had half an inch of black tar grease on them.
The soda guns had more black mold than clean plastic.
The bar was teeming with flies.
The produce cooler had a case of 6x6es that had turned to black, furry mush.
The cukes were watery mess.
Nothing was dated
And so much more. It was awful. We worked our asses off for five days.
GM and AD got canned.

nta but my brother did the same, still doesnt wash his hands, not even after using the loo

growing up we could never work out why we were going through so many xbox (original) controllers, we thought they just broke after a while,
buttons would constantly stick or the triggers so even if you werent pressing them the controller registered them as pressed he must have gone through about 10 controllers
it took a while for me to work out that all the controllers were covered is a layer of dried grease and that the the grease was getting underneath the buttons

I worked at a pretty decent restaurant washing dishes in some kind of open shopping center or outlet mall. I’ll just list off a few good ones I can remember off the top of my head.
>waitress was serving a table, and saw a rat bolt out from beneath the table and run over her feet, then just froze in the middle of the dining room. She yelled “OOH FUCK A RAT!!” and crushed its head with her heel.
>the guy working flambé was a 56 year old fat Mexican who sweat buckets, likely into the pans and food and would try to work shirtless if the manager wasn’t in
>idek how this next one came to be but somebody put a whole haunch of pork into a tray, filled about halfway with blood, and put it on the top shelf in the produce fridge. It spilled everywhere.
>manager had the line start cleaning behind the ovens and fryers. There was at least an inch of caked mold and rotten fryer oil that had layered onto itself. We started cleaning with wet rags and I was electrocuted within 15 seconds because the fucking moron didn’t shut power to them.
>grill cook just straight up smelled bad. don’t know where the fuck they found his bum ass, but he was apparently related to somebody.
>rather than give me a lunch break, I had to leave into the utility building behind the restaurant, go into a closed room with two open dumpsters and eat. Eventually I just started eating while I was working.
Finally, my favorite. Not hygiene related but still funny.
>dishwasher before me comes back to restaurant about 20 minutes after closing, gets in through a propped back door. he ran into the office, grabbed the manager and tied him up, then kicked the shit out of him and stole 3800 dollars from the safe, and left. never caught.

If you give a shit about the cleanliness of your food, then do your own cooking. When you eat out, you're paying them to be fast and consistent, not to be clean freaks. If every restaurant was as clean as you fags would like, then they'd have to serve 1/4 of the people at 1/3 the speed. It's just not a reasonable expectation.

Eat at home if you have such ridiculous standards as sanitizing the knives and cutting boards between every single fuckin ingredient. That's not how real chefs operate unless they're on camera, and then it slows everything down and fucks up the workflow and process.

The last place I worked had a ridiculously bad mouse/rat problem when they hired me. Every morning I made rounds to the traps and I'd find at least one or two like this and their solution was to bring their shitty pest control guy in to replace the traps. I wish I took a picture of the time I found two rats caught in the same large spring-loaded trap and a third rat had literally eaten their brains. Eventually they hired a different company that actually closed all the entrances they were getting in from and I never saw any since.

What do you think is happening here, like there are some super rare and deadly microbes that only infect 3,000 people a year and if we could just get everyone in food service to practice hospital cleanliness, these deaths could be prevented?

These people are dying from extremely common microbes, the kind that normal healthy people shrug off with no effort. These are weak, sickly, immunocompromised people who would have died from something else if they hadn't happened to encounter some entry-level e.coli first. 3,000 people a year in a country of hundreds of millions is actually a sign that the U.S. has excellent cleanliness standards.

dude was always humping stuff in his little box so i turned him over and went for it. also being upside down is supposed to be like emotionally rattling for turtles so he prob has a based fear-induced fetish now
>>19833533
went fine. turtle dicks are crazy looking though. should have sucked it looking back but i was worried about salmonella etc, idk what kind of frog aids this dude had ykwim

yeah i always feel weird about non-mammals for that reason
i don't even know how you'd get a turtle horny, i doubt just rubbing their cloaca would work, how did that happen?

>>19834431
like i said he was always humping stuff. turtles have a pretty sizeable Dick that pops out when they're going for it, i didn't provoke that part. pic related

>First job in the kitchen, at a diner
>Head would ditch us to fuck whatever waitress he conned into a relationship that week, didn't even wash his hands before returning to the line
>After being told we could not pick dropped food of the floor and serve it (I wish I was making this up), some of the staff interpreted it as "anything on the floor is ours" and would sometimes "accidentally" drop food and set it aside
>Got fired for refusing to cut around mold/rot in produce
>Second job, at a buffet
>Kitchen was decent
>Buffet side was a disaster
>Management wouldn't let us "waste" product by dumping uneaten food
>Nobody cleaned the soda or ice cream machines because that was FOH's job and management never trained them on it
>Eventually figured out roach infestation was in the soft serve
I work catering now and it's honestly incredible how much more professional and sanitary they are

So is the takeaway from this thread that the world is a disgusting place and I need to embrace that fact instead of worrying about it so much?

[Anonymous No.19834622]

The takeaway is that you should make your own food instead of resigning yourself to waiting to die of dysentery when jamal at the domino's puts dirty mop water in your pizza sauce.

The only thing I remember being used for way too long was the deep fryer oil, I barely even remember it being changed ever. They also fried everything in it, fish, chicken, fries, one of my coworkers would fry bacon in it. I’m not fully sure what the risks of that are but I don’t think you are supposed to do it.
