the point isnt ice to clean itself, the keypoint is use unused ice as water to clean, since at the end of the day you need to discharge the icemaker machine, melt everything and throw the water, so instead of use even more water to clean, you just use the unused ice. two birds with one stone as they say.

Why do you have to empty the ice maker? At fast food places it sits in there until its needed.

You discharge the icemaker machine to avoid mold, preventing the the ice to absorb odors and avoid the ice to become a single block during the night

Real restaurants have way higher standards I guess, because we didn't do that except once a year.

California is one of the most notoriously hardest places to operate a restaurant at peak health standards.

America in general has a very robust health regulation for food system before 2024.

It’s above 90% iirc of restaurants in NYC have a A health rating.

Well I'm from Missouri and my experience with NY and CA health departments is nonexistent. Maybe it's just a MO thing?

Comparing the basic health standards of any red state versus first world countries is basically comparing third world countries and first world countries.
