    There’s a rule against that, yeah, but it’s easy to get around the rules. All he needs to do is get one of his colleagues to scratch it for him.

    I worked a couple fast food jobs in college. Trust me when I say, you shouldn’t eat fast food.

    There was an incident with the cheese sauce when I worked at Arby’s. I have not had any processed cheese sauce from any restaurant since.

      I have a feeling I’m going to regret asking, but what kind of “incident”?

        A pimply, greasy, meth smoking teen jerked off into my the cheese sauce. Or at least bragged about it to one of the co-workers.

        Needless to say we had to dump the batch. As if they wasn’t bad enough, when we dumped it, the bottom was caked in some kind of disgusting mold. It had probably been weeks or months since it had been emptied or cleaned

    A few weeks ago I stopped at a mcdonalds and caught what looked like the manager packing burgers with his bare hands. Like, grabbing the patty, bun, lettuce, everything without gloves. I tried to take a picture but he saw me staring and put some gloves on.

      Isn’t it normal for food service workers to just wash their hands rather than wear gloves? I don’t think I’ve ever seen gloves at a fast food place.

        No its not normal. And it was an easy way to get fired at the restaurants I worked. Zero tolerance rules on food safety.

        I don’t think there’s a single state in the US that allows you to make food without gloves.

        The only exception I’ve seen is when you’re dealing with the ingredients before they’ve been cooked, like with pizzas.

    No, I think it would actually be disgusting if there was a rule preventing this? It’s his body, just let him scratch his damn arse.

    However, there should absolutely be a rule about washing your hands afterwards though.

      He’s doing it in the line, ain’t no chance he’s going to go to the bathroom to do something he should have done in the bathroom in the first place.

        …in Australia at least, it would be very illegal to run a food service business where the employees have to go all the way to the bathroom to wash their hands.

        Source: 4 years in food service. And no, I didn’t stick my hands down my pants. But I was definitely being paid more than this guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          You don’t have to wash your hands in the bathroom, no. You do have to do things regarding fingering your asshole out of public sight and away from food handling areas and no he cannot wash his poopie hands where the splash back can hit food.

            It shouldn’t be that close to food either. You’re right he should do it out of public view. Like I’m not condoning his actions, but I’m not ready to condemn him either. This is why you should pay the people who prepare your food well. Then maybe he’d be paid enough to give a shit. Support minimum wage laws.
