Owner is forcing us to use expired product at my second job
A new supply truck hasn't come in a week. I could only get one picture coming back off break because he's paranoid. The whole fridge/freezer is cursed…

He’s paranoid because that is some bullshit. I would start looking for somewhere else to work

You are going to kill someone owner.

Easy solution – call the health department, moron!

Call the health department and resign.

Report his ass to health department. Document and take pictures of anything that you can. If the owner tries any shit, make sure he does some of it via text so you have more paper trails.
Like sure you can leave, but this behavior doesnt stop. And if no one ever reports it or outs it to the public then…it keeps going

I’m the opposite. When I find spoiled food or prep in my kitchen it *infuriates* me. Like, how many of you saw this and didn’t do *anything* about it?
Like fuck guys, if you find something bad, bomb it and write it on the waste sheet so I know about it. Don’t leave it there, and don’t serve it. Bomb it.
Also, I have a rule: no one will ever get in trouble for writing something on the waste sheet, not matter what. If you throw away good food, that is a training issue and its on me, not you. If you throw away bad food, *thank you.*
Edit: For the record, I understand why you guys might not want to throw something away. I’ve had a lot of people that will leave stuff on the shelf for me to throw away, because they don’t want to get in trouble. Like, they will skip FIFO procedures because they are not sure, and let me handle it. Which, is fair. A lot of us have had Chef’s bitch at us for bombing food.
That said, for me, and many others, if you feel like something is bad enough to throw away, I trust you. Just, go for it, do the right thing.

In an open bag, on the ground. Fuck. Think about how many times someone’s shoe has kicked up a drop of floor water on the lettuce. Look at all your toe kicks and lo-boys for long enough and you’ll realize the water on the floor cakes everything 1-9 inches up all the walls slowly over time from people scuffling their feet.
Please call the health department and inform them. It’ll save a local population of people from getting sick, you’d be a hero, and if your establishment doesn’t agree with that, burn it down, burn it all down. All over a bag of shit lettuce and accountability.
Edit: in this case you’re literally better off selling food from the compost bin. Like actually.

Nice floor clearance on that rack.

You can always call the health department….. anonymously, of course….

Throw it away. If he fires you then you have a lawsuit. Call your local newspaper and the health inspector. It’s one thing to have expired food in the walk in, we all forget stuff in there sometimes and it gets tucked away until we find it a few days too late. Intentionally using expired and clearly “gone bad” products should be criminal. Sure, if you have a wheel of cheese thats past it’s expiration date but still not blue, maybe it’s okay. But that lettuce is clearly starting to rot.

How much fucking iceberg did you order to have that much which has gone off?
Seriously tho, tip off EHO, or whatever it is called in your jurisdiction… and maybe form a union.

ngl if you’re gonna leave this guy sounds like a really easy slam dunk unemployment case, especially if he’s physically intimidating you to arguably be an accomplice to a crime

OP is there any chance you are in Albuquerque, NM? I can get you another job if you are
consumeshroomz
No he’s not. He can’t force you to serve that to people. You could just…walk out. That’s what I’d do. I’d rather be homeless than be responsible for a mass food poisoning. People could die. Also file a report!

You know who I bet would get a kick out of this picture?
Your local health department.

This looks exactly like the walk-in when I worked at Arby’s. Was trained to use stuff unless there was visible mold- but if it was rotting it was free game. Absolutely disgusting but manager didn’t hover fortunately so I still threw it away if it was like that

You mean the health department is getting an anonymous tip and you’ve been looking for new work.
Real talk, you don’t want salmonella or botulism poisoning on your conscience my sibling in ethics.

Yo. OP.

Sound off immediately on what area you’re in.
Sub.anyone reading this..

Stat. Make this happen KC.

“forcing” or asking? Good luck if they try to fire you when you have this kind of evidence on them. That’s easy money for you, and the end of their business.
“Boss told me to” is such a lame excuse. If you see this and don’t throw it in the trash, you’re part of the problem.
