Food dropped in fastfood restaurants is still sold. Just brush the rat hair off it and top that pizza!

My man I've worked in food service 16 years, plenty of that was in fast food what kind of ghetto ass store you be working at?

All of the stores I've worked at were strict on food safety.

Except one. The Taco Bell in Indy that was right by the IMS didn't give a rat's ass about food safety. They would drop food and wrap it up. They would be mopping the floor with their gloves on and go straight onto the line without even swapping them.

The local burger joint has the whole kitchen in full view of the customers. They're a little bit slower but I don't mind. Workers want to do good work.
