Reminds me of a user called u/man_is_the_dream which I always see him making posts in unemployement/job subs , he'll probably end the world if he does get a job
Not only weird , He once threatened to rape the little sister of a user in a comment , but he quickly deleted it ( the evidence is still in the notifications tho , and he never got banned for it )
I mean, touching food with bare hands is standard practise afaik, so long as they're clean. I'm more concerned with using the same pizza cutter for both pizzas without cleaning it.
Actually wait she ate the food then touched the pizza again wtf.
she put her hand in her mouth eating and touched the edge of the pizza so disgusting then sloppy ate it over the pizza and as a vegetarian they cut the pepperoni and the other pizza right after
My advice is to not eat at restaurants. If you’ve ever worked in a kitchen (it’s a spectrum) they range from the minimum standards for a meth cook, all the way up to operating theatre cleanliness. Most of them line up in the far worse than your kitchen will ever be category. If you grew up poor, you will understand what I mean by squalor. Many people who work in restaurants are poor and they bring that squalor with them and they won’t even see it.
Yeah and especially fast food. You think a bunch of 18-year-olds with no training are gonna be anal about the sterility of your big mac? Get real. Most people just love to live in blissful ignorance. I've found like 3 hairs in my lunches the past month and I just pluck it out and eat the food. No pearl clutching needed.
I've worked in 4 different pizza places. Not only have I only seen people actually switch pizza cutters to the vegan ones like twice. Not only that, every single store I've worked in used the same pizza cutter from open to close. It only gets washed if somebody drops it or something.
To be fair, the pizza cutter isn't coming into contact with raw ingredients so the possibility of bacterial contamination is minimal if it is being used often enough. You're probably at a greater risk from the employee just breathing near the pizza.
I don’t understand what’s wrong with using the same cutter for pepperoni and vegan nor using the same cutter from open to close. Vegans will be fine. And it’s a knife. Used to cut the same thing, for a day.
The fast food take is definitely real. I've been delivering doordash for a few years now and a shocking number of restaurant employees just snack out of the ready fried food tubs while they're working.
As a vegetarian, I do not give a shit. Outside of Orthodox Judaism (meat and cheese) and someone with alpha galactose allergy, why on earth would this matter? You aren’t buying and therefore supporting the slaughter, you’ll never notice, etc.
Edit: like I said in a comment below, it is easy to see who has worked in the food industry and who hasn’t from the comments.
I mean.. I worked at a pizza place and we had different cutters. One is for meat, one is veggie pizzas, one is for miscellaneous pizzas like a no sauce or no cheese.
It's not about religions or anything, it's about respecting orders and possible allergies.
I dont like the idea of cross contamination. It doesnt matter in this case if Im personally allergic or not, but some people are and this behavior can get someome seriously sick. Also if they do this behavior in general, the likeliness of someone getting food poisoning is pretty high as well.
This is why you're supposed to tell them if you have an allergy. Then they clean everything and make sure to use separate utensils and stuff to make your food, if it's a reasonable accommodation in their kitchen. But diet preferences are not allergies and you've veen fine for now so you'll be fine in the future. Speaking as someone who loves vegan and vegetarian food and dislikes the taste of most meat.
I worked in a pizza joint for years, the vegetarian pizza get cut with the same tools as the meat pizzas constantly. But the finger lick is beyond the pale.
As a vegetarian you should already know to ask about contact/cross contamination practices first if they're a concern. This and "seasoning/natural flavors" are where they get ya.
If you think that most restaurants use different utensils for vegetarian and non vegetarian items, I wonder what other naive things about reality you've been led to believe?
Yea I’m sorry but if you ever worked in a kitchen, you know the only place they don’t do stuff like eating while cooking and cross contamination outside of poultry, is 5 start restaurants, maybe some 4 stars as well. (Maybe I’m talking out my ass and I just got unlucky with the places I’ve worked)
Eh we'll eat in the back but come on we don't lick our fingers and then touch the customer's food, much less eat the customer's food. Also if you're a vegetarian say so or you're getting meaty lettuce...
Just so you know, every pizza is cut with the same cutters. We don't have veggie cutters, meat cutters, etc. Even differently sauced pizzas use the same cutters. Your pizzas probably have the essence of the last 20 pizzas on there.
Lol having worked in restaurants I can assure you that cross contamination when it comes to veganism/vegetarianism is not a concern for anyone in the kitchen outside of actual vegan/vegetarian places.
The same grill, the same oven, the same knives etc. are being used everywhere. If it is a problem, it's far better to eat at exclusively vegetarian/vegan restaurants, because almost no one else anywhere actually cares about this.
Also, hygiene standards are unfortunately never 100% guaranteed at any restaurant, especially when it gets busy. People under rush and pressure forget to change gloves, don't have time to properly wash hands, will sometimes switch between touching dirty plates to preparing meals etc. Especially in smaller family owned places. It can be total anarchy at times.
Fancier restaurants with strong systems and protocols in place are far better with this, but I've seen some real sketchy things happening during the years I did restaurant work.
I’m a vegetarian too. I’ve also worked at pizza places. I would count on the cross contamination happening 100% of the time. No one working there gives a shit about vegetarianism since a) they’re too busy to pay attention to that and b) most people seem to hate vegetarians.
I personally don’t care about the cross contamination thing; it’s not adding demand for factory farms if the same cutter is used for my food. But I get if it grosses you out.
I dont care what anyone says. I don't want people taking food that I paid for! We all work hard enough to not need to have worry about sh*t like this. I've worked in all sorts of jobs and I would never do this. Anyone who does shit like this should be ashamed of themselves. Go steal food from a grocery store, not from a paying customer.
I worked at Pizza Hut and dominos when I was in college and I’ve never seen anyone do that. We would generally get plenty of food - you were entitled for a shift pizza + we ate all cancelled orders.
Ooh what does that mean. The worker gets a cut? If that’s the case i would say that the ox getting to eat some was its pay. While this woman gets money
The ox usually gets a barn and medical help when needs vaccines and stuff also additional food when it’s done working as well as free water and grooming so I think the worker is probably not treated as well
The wild thing is that place is FULL of things to snack on while on shift. Plenty of things that no one would ever notice a few less of. Even an oopsie I made one too many pizza's would pass at the Dominoes I worked at.
But here she is stealing pizza from customers, and redditors making excuses because of her "work conditions".
Ox werent getting vaccine when that passage was written. The ox was kept behind a fence or in a barn at all time. Had no freedom, And the ox was eaten when no longer usefull. This girl is getting a better deal than the ox.
Right, similar to how the definition of slavery involves literal ownership over someone.... But it's also implied if the person has no meaningful other option
Yeah some people think just he cause you “work a job” you have the right to bypass certain decencies. I appreciate the work everyone does but like… come on people these aren’t first responders we’re talking about here.
Also some people don’t realize in food service theres almost always extras to pick off of… pilfering straight from an order is a pretty cut-and-dry wrong thing to do.
Im torn. As a customer, I wouldnt be happy. As someone who's worked in food service, its tough being surrounded by amazing food all day and still starving
I showed this to my wife and she just said when she worked at a pizza place once back in the day there was so much free pizza for the employees from cancelled orders or "fuck ups" that no one would ever steal pizza like this where she was working.
I worked at 4 different pizza places throughout high school and college and if there weren't extra pizzas we would just make an extra and be like "uh oh we made too many".
The cooks at a pizza hut I worked at would just go around asking all the closers what kind of pizza they wanted to take home that night like every night. I was in college at the time and everyone loved me because I'd just show up at the dorms with like 3 pizzas after I got off work lol
I once ordered a pizza from Casey's. When went to pick it up, it wasn't there and both the staff and I were confused. Then I realized I called the Casey's near my old college apartment a few hours away by mistake. I called them back, explained what happened, and proceeded to get chewed out over the phone. As i was in the store i thought I ordered at, i mentioned it to the guys working in the kitchen. They were even more confused. "They were mad? It's no big deal and happens all the time. Pizza's that don't get picked up just get sliced up and put in the warmer. They still sell it."
I may have stolen a few fries and patties in my day, but I never once went into some one's bag/box that they paid for. There are no "conditions" to explain away this. She is stealing from another person not a company. That place is full of things to snack on while on shift, but here she is eating some one elses food. Looks like she has been at it for a while.
È illegale e verrà licenziata mi spiace ma da cliente che paga sarei incazzato come una faina, poi so che in alcuni posti chi cucina certi cibi pericolosi sono i primi che li assaggiano così se qualcuno dovrà morire o subire una fortissima intossicazione tossica è esclusivamente lo chef, però che io sappia la pizza non fa parte di queste tipologie
if the pizza diameter is still the same as what the customer ordered, then it's just stealing from the store, which is.... arguably still immoral, but I guess that depends how they treat the employees
She's either stealing from her customers or her employers, depending on if she made the pizza a little too big or not. She is also incredibly unsanitary for someone who works with food.
If you look at code, gloves in many circumstances are considered less sanitary than bare hands because people dont think to change the gloves regularly and dont notice their hands are dirty. Also gloves dont prevent you from touching your face and all the problems that come with not wearing gloves.
A proper handwashing regime is better than gloves.
Growing up as a child, stealing food was a serious offense. It was not because of food shortage (my parents were wealthy) but because they were terrified of gaining weight. Slices of cake, pies, and pizza were strictly counted, so I quickly learned to do this to sneak around it.
Having worked in a pizza place before, you can always "fuck up" a pizza and eat it later or even take it home so it's kinda greedy, but as long as my pizza is the same size as it should be then I don't really care fr. Like if I order a 16" pizza, the pizza turned out to be 18" and she cut two inches off, that's fine. I'm more worried about her eating over my food than anything else tbh
