Hi Ho, T. Ho....

Unless you drink your coffee black from Timmy's, get a stir stick and your cream/sugar/milk on the side, or ask that your drink be stirred with a straw. The spoons used to mix drinks are kept in ice (for health reasons).

However, the garbage gloves are once again hung directly over the ice in the back room (not for health reasons, but sheer convenience).

If you've seen the garbage I handle at work, you know that you don't want to have its drippings in your coffee. If you haven't seen it, consider this your warning.

This has been a public service announcement courtesy of a disgruntled coffee shop worker.

Thanks for the heads up. Yuck.

I think I'll drink coffee at the college campus where I can be certain of where the stirsticks and spoons have been.

You're welcome.

I'll betcha the coffee shop there has something just as egregious, though.

[valkryor.livejournal.com]

Probably. But from a coffee standpoint, it's a lot less "ew".

I think that's only your Timmies. I've been reading your Timmies posts and your manager sounds now with it.

Maybe the policy has changed but something like that would have received a big reprimand from District Managers when I was working for the company.

Of course I once made a worker empty part of the ice maker because she reached in and grabbed some ice with her hands to chew on. Maybe I was just too tyrannical as a Manager.

Timmies ain't the place for you..... Get Davey-bum to get a job and return to the life of a kept woman.

That should be NOT WITH IT..... your Manager sounds NOT WITH IT.


Now with it.... what the Hell does that mean?

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Heh... That's what I figured you meant!

[elanya.livejournal.com]

Yeah but they usualy give enough notice so that the place in question can scramble to get everything in tip top shape before the inspector come in to condescend at everyone, and go back to slovenlyess after they leave :p

I think they'd be able to figure out it was me because I've reviled it to everyone at work.

ewwwwww!

I'm sure most restaurants have something comparable. If you don't look in the kitchen, your food is much more appetizing.

Ah...I trust that you informed your manager of a health violation? (I know nothing of the law, but that sure as hell is one...) I wonder if you could take a picture of it and THEN call in a health inspector. Bah, advanced warning is silly. How are you supposed to catch people in the act if they've known you were coming long enough to clean up? What a silly system.

I have mentioned it to the assistant manager, and she said, "Well, there's nowhere else to put it," which is not an acceptable answer.

I've made complaints about it to all of my co-workers, and they all agree that it's disgusting. I've been tempted to make an anonymous call to the health inspectors, but at this point, it would be pretty obvious who'd turned 'em in because of my outspoken nature.
