When you say they're closed; do you mean they're closed and the employees have gone home?

not the worst i've seen at all. as a firefighter I see a lot of kitchens & back of house areas on all of the bullshit commercial alarms we go to. I work in a fairly nice area with a lot of tourists that spend a ton during their visits- from my experience the 2-3 star joints that do tons of business tend to be the cleanest, and the worst tend to be eateries attached to nice golf courses that are only open seasonally and don't do much volume when they are open. the amount of rodent shit i've seen in some of those spots is quite impressive, i'm talking 3-5 years worth of buildup in hard to reach areas.

I try to stay out of the kitchens of my favorite places to eat- ignorance is Bliss.

There is a big difference between seeing this kind of shit during a busy shift and after close. Worked in a lot of restaurants in my day and never saw a close this bad.

That isn't as bad as I imagined tbh.

A lot of comments on how this is common in fast food. There are exceptions to every rule though, I bet there's a 0% chance you would ever find a Chick Fil A like this after closing time.

Not a trucker here.

Are you saying that when you do food delivery to the restaurant, you also unload it yourself overnight while they’re closed?

[-]

DifficultyBig2280@reddit

Some places unload. When I worked for Starbucks years ago, the truck would come in the middle of the night and leave the milk pallets in the walk in for us

No, in food delivery we get there before the place opens up in morning and we have to unload it off the truck Some places are drop and go others you have to put in coolers etc

I did food service delivery for many fast food restaurants(subway, checkers, captain D's). this isn't uncommon.

Foodservice truck driver here…the restaurants with the nicest dining area are the worst in the kitchen. The old raggedy mom and pop places are usually pretty clean, despite being old.

God damn. I worked Zaxbys for longer than I would like to admit and I always felt like ours was pretty bad. There is no way my manager would've let us go home with it looking like this lol

I've been inside over 700 McDonald's locations. There's ones you could eat off the floor in the ghetto and ones I wouldn't have an enemy eat from in a rich neighborhood. Also goes for the opposite. All depends on the operator of the store and how much they give a shit. I tell people not to eat fast food anywhere in a city with over 15,000 people. Almost across the board small town stores are cleaner. Again a outlier here and there

I worked at a brand new Zaxby's in 2000. We scrubbed and polished every inch twice daily. We took extreme amount pride in cleanliness and service. Especially for a bunch of teenagers making $7/hr.

One thing they could have done is offer competitive pay, promotions, benefits, and retirement for those kids. The place would still be shining bright.

But where is the profit in that?

snarksneeze@reddit

Same. I was on the crew that opened our local Zaxbys and we didn't leave until everything was spotless each night. We started prepping early, so it wasn't a shock to everyone. We let people go home after each job was completed, so if you busted your ass you got to go first, it was fun and we took pride in how clean our place was even a year after it opened.

A lot of my work ethic comes from that year frying chicken and working the drive thru. Passed on to my other occupations, through like minded coworrkers to teach and learn from. Then trucking, where I put those simple lessons together.

This is every Wednesday when we deliver Our home office tells us take pictures just to cover our ass if someone gets hurt

Late-Recognition5587@reddit

Mine too lol. Also had a customer say we were bringing mice in. I deliver sealed milk. Our depot is so clean I could eat off the floor. We have to decontaminate empty crates entering the depot.

[-]

Btomesch@reddit

Show us video of you eating off the floor then and we’ll believe it

[-]

Late-Recognition5587@reddit

Lol. I wouldn't believe videos. AI is pretty good at faking those.

But they use the floor scrubber 3 times a day. The walls, beams and lights get cleaned every 3 months. It's clean. Restaurants, look like they get cleaned once every new term of government.
