Any food service establishment that doesn’t allow leftovers to be eaten or taken home by the employees isn’t worth your time.
The fact that they would rather throw perfectly good stuff in the garbage than give their staff a very valuable benefit at no cost to them tells you everything you need to know…
Agreed. How disgusting! Hard to believe they’d rather see it go to waste than have the employees eat it. When my husband delivered pizzas he was able to bring home the mistakes.
one of my first jobs was a line cook in a Tony Roma’s, I routinely would end shifts with a small box worth of leftover riblets and baby backs. They were dry as hell, but free food was free food. In fact, one of the managers that trained me told me if I was working a Friday night or Saturday night shift I should try to have a couple extras on the “cool” side of the grill if I got slammed. Thinking back on it, that wasn’t a very safe practice, but I never got a complaint so I guess my dice rolls were always ok (I also didn’t get sick myself).
We definitely threw food away that had been eaten, but the dishwashers absolutely had a bowl that they dumped leftover fries and other things in that looked untouched, and our managers would indulge as well. I don’t know if there was a standing order to throw out food that was leftover at closing, but definitely remember that any food that was allowed to be eaten got claimed VERY quickly
during my brief stint in fast food, I ate a stray onion ring after closing. My manager was, shall we say, not pleased.
Omg that’s just crazy. Some people take their job too seriously…
We call those people Boovins.
