I Will Never Eat A Leidy's Pork Product

Now I know no place in the food industry is totally clean. I'm cool with that. I know this first hand. I worked in many restaurants and seen and done some questionable food handling practices. Some things irk me more than others.



I've been deleviring uniforms for a company for the last few months. One of my stops slaughters pigs and processes pork products. Its a big stop and the dirty uniforms are kept in the employees bathrooms. The building smells bad enough. Now add in the smell of people using the toilets and urinals. Nasty right? Well, imagine all these people (most imigrants, probably illegal citizens) and their hand washing techniques. Some don't even have a technique. They'll just shake it, put it back in their pants, and back to touching food we will eat. Or, they'll wipe their ass and back to packaging bacon. Nasty! A small percentage of them of them will head to the sink for a quick 10 second rinse. Do you think they use the towels or hand dryers? I've seen them wipe their hands on the clean butcher coats and even on the dirty bloody ones. What's the point!



Very few of them properly wash their hands. Funny thing is, the people in the office or maintenance crew wash up properly.



When I am there, I get so filthy that I wash my hands before and after I use the bathroom. I'm not touching my junk after handling nasty butcher coats full of blood and pork fat. There's just something wrong with that.
