Nothing id say food wise made me think twice. BUt people and how they work in general.
Most of my food experience has been family business and we dont fuck around with food. One place I questioned things that wasnt ours , but it was more about the owner, not the food preparation.
There are horror stories. But Ill lay money on eating out being more safe than a lot of processed and stored foods.
We live in a dirty world. People do dirty things. Builds immunity if you dont worry about it.

I knew a farmer / field worker guy once that told me point blank, when they have a bad day, they all stand and take a piss in the peas before they are canned. I never ate peas again.Nothing id say food wise made me think twice. BUt people and how they work in general.

The grease traps and the grease drip tray at Burger King. The non-cleaniness of minimum wage employees.Comment

If you think that's fucked up wait till you realize how much bug shit, crushed bugs, rat parts, and other excreta are in processed meat foods. As for canned vegetable foods, the focus changes to pesticide, fungicide, rodenticide, and all sorts of "cide" residues

I've done retail, but never foodservice. I fear and respect people who touch my food. Treat them good, and they hopefully won't fuck with it.Comment

i've worked concession stands at sporting events as a kid and then a nice steakhouse when I was older. nothing bothers me, the odd kitchen worker spits in something, kitchens in restaurants are a bit like frathouses but so what. i assume people make out with the opposite sex from time to time, their mouths are no cleaner than the kitchen worker. you're getting fresher food at restaurants than a lot of stuff from grocery stores - can't tell you how often I buy stuff from the deli counter or meat counter at a grocery store and when i get it home and smell it it's not fresh.
the food was very good quality anywhere i've worked. waiters and busboys would doggy bag stuff that customers didn't finish. i didn't but only because i don't like steak much.
working at a food processing/manufacturing plant - now that i'm sure might change me.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

Nasty shit:
I prepped food at a high end restaurant for a few years when I was a teenager. It never dawned on me until a few years ago how nasty this was:
They'd cook the prime rib in the morning, and throw it on top of the convection oven so that it'd stay warm. Uncovered. On a serving plate.
Someone ordered prime rib...cut it...PUT IT IN THE FUCKING MICROWAVE to heat it up...and serve it. Cook it at 7am, serve that shit at 8PM for dinner...all the while sitting out.
Nasty.Comment
