animal900 thinks corporate standards keep chain restaurants clean

Applebee's food order comes with delicious "out of date" sticker on it. Manager apologizes, offers to refresh drinks

animal900,

Corporate standards??

MWHAHAHA!!!!

Franchise owners routinely ignore corporate standards. I worked a Frinedly's in college. The store I was at literally bribed the health inspector, with cash and some "quality time" with one of the waitresses, to get a passing grade.

One of the food prep people smoked in the kitchen and ashed into the slaw.

The manage had huge hairy arms and mixed the slaw by hand, as in dipping his arm to the bottom of the five gallon buckets and stirring the mush inside.

I was once chewed out for throwing out some red onions in the fridge. I'd tossed them because they were covered in fuzzy mold. The manager insisted I could have just washed them off and served them in salad.

By the way, if it was being cooked, they considered it OK to leave it on the floor until they got around to picking it up.

Then there was the time someone cut himself while shopping up salad. He bled all over the tray used to soak and wash salad while it was full. The manager just drained it and served it without so much as an extra rinse.

If you're relying on corporate standards to keep the kitchen clean you're in for a surprise.

Update: Of course it was deleted.
