Kitchen Life: Never Eat Off of The Buffet
If you’ve ever worked in a place that has a buffet, you already know why.
If not, you’ll soon learn.
People are nasty.
They’ll pick something up with their fingers, then decide they don’t want it (or worse, decide they want part of it), and put it back on the platter.
Who knows how long it’s been since they washed their hands? And even it it was 15 minutes ago, would you really want to eat that half a brownie?
People are nasty. This is the reason you’re not supposed to “recycle” food that’s been served to the public, sneeze guard or no sneeze guard. Who knows where those hands have been? Tongs, you say? We don’ need no stinkin’ tongs.
By “recycle,” I mean save it and use it again. It’s a shocking thought, I know, but it happens.
More often that you’d care to imagine.
Don’t eat off of the buffet.
Anywhere.
