There is a nice middle ground. 4 or 5 and I’m good. Each has a role.
Don’t touch my towels!

Do you guys not rinse your towels out? Weirdos

Over an 8 hours shift you should at the very least have used 8 or 9. Sanitizer lasts an hour, swapping the sanitizer and keeping the rag would make any health inspector shit a live kitten

I love you as much as I hate you for posting this.

My instant, internal reaction was, “SHUT THE FUCK UP, CHAD! (It’s always a dude named Chad or Bryce)”

Goodness. I go through probably 9-12 in a day. Probably 8 wet, 2 dry, and 2 “Hot hands” towels. My sani water gets changed every two hours and a towel never reenters the sani bucket. Like… we have a service that brings us fresh towels, cleans our dirty ones…. We’re never short on the things. You might as well just use a fresh one as often as possible.

Rags are dirty things you throw away when your done. A towel is something you keep clean, sanitized and reuse.

I only use 1 for myself and like 2 for the station but i work with guys that literally take 2 wipes and toss it in the used linen bin. Kinda annoying

I worked at a place where I would have to stack 10ish clean towels on the top shelf of my station where nobody else could reach cuz I’m a tall mf. Coworkers were so bad about stealing my towels. I kept a bucket of fresh sanitizer water under the station too, I always had one fresh dry towel and one wet sanitizer towel on the station at all times, because that’s all you need.
Slowly during dinner service my towels would disappear, so the top shelf stack was serving its purpose. By the end of the night on expo, where the sous brought all my precious towels, there’d be a stack of at least a dozen dirty ass towels. I should’ve called it the graveyard now that I think about it

This is gross. 3 to 5 per shift. If I can sneak in a 6th I’ll do it.

If a chefs petty about towels, I’m really petty about cleaning. It usually ends up in more towels for me once they realize you’re the only one actually cleaning up after yourself.
I once told a chef “if you want to limit me to 2 towels, you are limiting the kitchen in how much it’s cleaned each day. Have fun coming in early to deep clean before service each day”. I was allowed to use as many as I wanted going forward without further questioning.

I can get through a fairly quiet evening shift with 1. 2 if it’s busier. Maybe 3 if it’s one of those really busy days. A shift is about 5~6 hours, though actual dinner rush is 1.5~3 hours. But during cleaning I will ALWAYS get a fresh, clean cloth…
