#32: A Slew of Flavors

Food service workers know all too well how stressful a rush of customers can be during a busy shift. Certain protocols and routines get put off in order to serve as many customers as possible. Someone who used to work at a popular ice cream chain revealed a gross aspect of working a busy shift. 

According to this person, the blenders were never cleaned between customers unless someone mentioned a food allergy. That means flavors and ingredients from previous orders were mixed in with new ones. Plus, when the blenders did get cleaned, they were washed with chemicals that never fully dried before their next use. If you’ve ever gotten a milkshake that tastes kind of off, now you know why.
