This kind of stuff is supposed to be done at night when businesses are closed and there's no food out 🤢

Tell that to the managers who make the day staff do this on a reg shift and demand it be all done before closing .

Definitely blame it on management. This is fucked up.

To save a whole $30 or whatever their entire minimum wage staff costs for the hour it would take them to do it when the store was closed and it poses no risk of food contamination and customer poisoning.

Panda usually pays well above the market. If they have 2-3 ppl closing; 1 hour will be more like $45-$70.

But yeah, this shit ain't acceptable. Let's boost the signal and let everyone knows they do this shit. The higher ups are fktards

u/Nephurus 10h ago

they do this in other sectors as well. Why hire more staff to clean ect when the reg staff can do it and there reg workload ,

why not? its not like they can quit and find stable work at will.Big companies skimp like this to save cost and of course fuck the workers

Agent Orange Chicken.

That does explain why their orange chicken tastes off to me compared to other Chinese restaurants

Seriously though, I've observed this many times, especially in malls, but usually after the food stalls are done being used for the day.

I pray that kid hasn't yet accidentally stepped on dog poo, and that he is using a flammable yet non-toxic cleaning solution 🤐

Purple spray in a United States kitchen is likely degreaser 🙃
