Here's a story to counteract all this horribleness. I worked fast food at Wendy's and the manager there was absolutely militaristic about food cleanliness and sanitation. He would never be happy if you lost food due to carelessness and you'd get a lecture about being more careful but you never ever, ever cross contaminated food if you didn't want your ear really chewed off. I was doing salad prep one day and after assembling the machine to chop this lettuce my hand accidentally slipped and I very lightly cut my finger on the blades. So light that you couldn't even see blood on the blade and my finger barely had a quarter of a drop of blood on it. I still deconstructed the entire three-foot-tall contraption which is not easy and took absolutely every part of it through the entire sanitation process before reassembling it to continue with morning prep. Naturally I also bandaged my hand before doing this and put on a rubber gloves and used a rubber band to seal it against my wrist so that nothing could get out or in. I did this all day because I was still responsible for doing a lot of the washing and sanitation of other items in store as the day went on. I looked goofy as hell but it meant that there was absolutely no possibility of contamination.

I was working fast food a while back, at a place whose manager was a clean freak. Meaning we always had good inspections. One day, I was training a new employee, when the inspector came in. While my manager was showing him around, I had the new kid start some dishes. I asked him to drain out the old wash water, and when he did, the floor drains all decided to back up. Greasy water began pooling on the floor. As if that weren't bad enough, new kid decides to plunge the sink drain. Fine, except he ignores the sink plunger right next to the sink, walks into the bathroom, and grabs the toilet plunger! Proceeds to try to stick it in our dish sink, right in front of the health inspector! My manager and I had to scream at him to stop! Didn't get our best marks that day...

Former Inspector here. I recall a time when myself and another inspector went out to a local pizza join in town that was popular and had been around forever. We begin the inspection and check the freezer, which is full of ice build-up and their gauges weren't reading proper temperature. Then we see their storage for the frozen foods - everything is stacked up as high as it will go in the shipping boxes they arrived off truck in. We explain to them that the foods (various meats sauces and breads) all had to be separated and divided by shelves as to prevent contact from one another and off of the ground (oh yeah, they were all just sitting on the floor). Afterwards, we begin to inspect the kitchen. Great start when you find several spots of mold and mouse droppings behind the equipment and prep stations. Proceed to find even MORE droppings and dead mice around machines, vents and other areas. Then we get to the front of house - MORE droppings and dead mice! Bathrooms and closets? DROPPINGS AND MICE! We commended them that their traps were in fact working, but we had to write them up for several violations including the droppings, mold, freezer storage, and they had multiple holes in their walls. So yeah . . .that was fun.

[@Miles300s]

[@vvolfenstein]

These are pretty funny but the only thing I'm TOTALLY against is the story about checking out the bathroom to have an idea of the state of the kitchen. In all of the restaurants I've worked in and the other cooks and waiters that I've met, not in a SINGLE one has that ever correlated. Either the front of house cleaned the bathrooms or had an outside company come in to clean them. The cooks and chefs in the back of house would NEVER wash the bathrooms where clients can access. Not only do they not have the time for that, but could you imagine the concept of the cook washing shit off the floor and then going anywhere near the food? Nope. The back of the house deals with the back and the front deals with the front.

[@OnlyKaerius]

There can be some correlation, as it relates to work ethos at the establishment. While clean toilet doesn't necessarily mean clean kitchen, dirty toilet is a warning sign that the owners/managers aren't holding their staff to high standards when it comes to cleaning.

A local takeaway close to me shut down out of nowhere one time. It had been there many years and was known by everyone around this area. Sells your usual stuff: kebabs, pizza, fries, burgers; all your usual greasy food you want after a night at the pub. There are thousands of shops like this in the UK. Word got out that it’s hygiene was deplorable. The Indians or whatever they were who owned and worked the place allegedly shat in buckets, and there was a diabolical rat & mouse infestation. The place was beyond filthy. It was, of course, closed down. The owner of the place that now resides there (which has great food you can see them make from scratch) informed us one time that the owner of the former business destroyed some of the equipment fitted to the building before he left - 10’s of 1000’s of £ in damages - in a horrifyingly bratty and entitled fit of rage. It took the new place years to make the money back they spent on the replacements and repairs. A quick internet search reveals its last inspection was in 2012 and that it requires “immediate improvement”, presumably the nail in the coffin.

Being the manly 23yr old badass I was, I noped the fuck outta there screaming in a pitch that only dogs can hear. 10 minutes, a beach towel, a claw grabber, a dustpan, and a broom later and we got it outside and onto the grass behind the golf course. Despite working in a kitchen, I don’t think I could have produced enough fire to kill that hundred legged abomination!

My great uncle told me about the bugs of Hawaii. He was stationed there for the Navy said those things are huge and will scare the crap out of you.

[@Dthorobad]

Cerinaya your great uncle wasn’t exaggerating. We got moths the size of softballs, centipedes, millipedes, and bigass spiders.

[@joshuakim5240]

This reminds me of my high school biology teacher's pet millipede that was a 20 year old giant of its kind. However, unlike those jackass centipedes, this millipede was super nice and even welcomed petting, which most of the class was terrified asf to do, but i like millipedes so i liked to pet it and occasionally let it hang out on my arm. Won't lie though, if that thing was a centipede instead, i would have screamed like a bitch and ran away from that classroom.

[@The_Custos]

Saw one of them growing up in the tropics. Majestic creatures.

[@hanskinslo326]

I worked full-time at a Sonic Drive-In Restaurant for one Summer during college. Honestly, I never saw one insect in the building, except for the flies that occasionally came in when the door was open. I also worked a month at a Grocery Store Deli, and I can say the same thing about that place, also! I will say this, though, cleaning the fryers is a royal pain in the ass.

[@builderpepc7803]

not a health inspector, but my stepdad's former nephew in-law's father's brother was an assistant waiter in training.

[@chaosmastermind]

Well what does that make you? Absolutely nothing. -Spaceballs.

[@gottagobuy6436]

Ok but the story about the tarantula is surprisingly common in a lot of kitchens in most kitchens ive worked in there was a resident spider of some sort

[@wolfwind9658]

It is strange but all I hear over and over again is that I should never eat out and prepare my own food from seed to meal. Strange video.

[@ShaneHummus]

I always "accidentally" cough on my enemies face.

[@richerDiLefto]

I’d pay to see what Gordon Ramsay would say about Eduardo the friendly tarantula! 😂🤣😂

[@The_Custos]

"You donkey!" 😆

[@ichigopockychan]

Are you trying to give him an aneurysm? he'll flip his shit if he saw Eduardo!

[@sathoon5973]

I took IRL sanity damage from the one that starts at 1:27

[@glidershower]

That bread needs more cow bell

[@sabrinakennedy6378]

11:30 Eduardo is doing his best. As a child I always tried to explain to my parents why I kept spiders in the house. The answer was population control for the amount of mosquitos that waltzed their way in every summer.

[@corny2092]

Not the hero we deserve but need Eduardo

[@jamie91995]

Such a friendly lil guy, protecting us from rodents and roaches, stop killing spiders, people. They take care of insects and rodents and really pose no threat to you

[@Ursy]

When I was a baby my dad had to give away our cat Wayne cause it kept beating me and my sis up. He gave it to "the China man" who ran a dehli/shop beside dad's pub on Broadway. One day dad os in the Delhi when suddenly the Chinese man comes running with the cat and hurls it into the landing/ stairway room that leads to the apartments upstairs. "What the hell was that about?" My dad asked "Health inspector!" The Chinese man gasped as they see a man with a clipboard down the back hall looking at the stock room the cat had previously been in. Terrible house pet but fantastic mouse catcher apparently.

[@______-hg1gy]

My advice to you...don’t go to a restaurant before they are about to close...they will do a half ass job During high school I worked at fast food Tex mex restaurant I accidentally dropped some flautas (deep fried tacos) the manager said pick them up and put them on the plate...I looked at him like if he was crazy 🤨 he told me “Its ok...these white people will still eat them” I stopped what I was doing, threw the dirty flautas away, grabbed my shit, clocked out, then walked the fuck out...of course I told my close ones to stay the fuck away from that place

[@jamesbthejoke5614]

[@ParkerTheSlayerClips]

I was checking out an apartment for the first time without reading reviews of the place. The lady giving me a tour around the place was really nice and the whole tour was going really well until we went into one of the apartments and walked into the bathroom. No joke, at least 20+ bees managed to get inside through one of the vents. She quickly shut the door and her face got so red. Let’s just say I didn’t chose that apartment complex.

[@commodoresixfour7478]

Are we talking wasps or honey bees?

Not the bees! 🐝 🐝 🐝

I feel like years from now if I ever own a restaurant I'd be like that boss who owned Eduardo.

[@PunkDisciple23]

"Not a health inspector but..."

[@Meppity]

Worst thing I have witnessed was in Jaipur, India: people prepping breads in the hot, dusty street filled with goats and cows then proceeding to carry the finished product through a mound of *rotting chicken heads.* This pile was perhaps 1m high and had all kinds of creatures wading through it. I have never smelt something so foul as that mix between rotting flesh and feces baking in 40° (100°F ish) heat. And less than 2 meters away, people were cooking. Like wtf.

[@badreny]

Not me but my buddy went to this restaurant that sold some burgers better known as “krabby patties” and almost died because an employee and the owner of said restaurant made a“krabby patty” that was diseased with nail clippings and old sock juice, etc. the thing is, it was a fly that flew into his throat that made him almost die :/

7:27 reference to its Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[@sweetkittykat2000]

My dad had his own plumbing business for a long time before he retired. According to him, Chinese buffets are usually the most disgusting. Mcdonalds are usually really clean, but Burger Kings are typically gross.

[@priels.f3375]

OMFGGGG THIS IS NASTY I DONT EVEN WANNA EAT OUT ANYMORE

[@wisnoskij]

To be fair, cleaning dishes with colonies of cockroaches is the most ecologically valid method.

[@lastking5426]

God bless you, health inspectors. Ya doin' the Lord's work.

[@pixelghostclyde8717]

Not a health inspector, but my father did plumbing for (amongst other applications, including industrial systems) restaurants, and I helped him along when I was a lad, so I have seen a fair share of restaurant kitchens in 1990s - early 2000s Italy. Most were run with absolute zeal and you could've probably gotten surgery on the dirtiest table, but there was this seaside restaurant which was a truly appalling disaster scene. Call came in about clogged drainage, turns out they were throwing so much shit down the sink drain and the *floor drainages* a mass of rotting food scraps and goddamn worms had formed downpipe. The floor was covered in refuse-encrusted sand, and from the fridge came a smell that can only be described as "revolting". Food was put on plates that were barely clean enough to pass as clean and sent out. Eventually they were shut down because they were found out recycling the wooden sticks off their seawood skewers, and the restaurant was only allowed to re-open under a new management after a monumental fine (after all, it was far from their first strike). Nowadays it's still the kind of shitty, overpriced seaside restaurant you'd only find on Adriatic beach towns, but at least it can pass a health inspections.

[@swammys_]

can’t believe the mans has been frying his cat a million times and can only say “oh, that’s where my cat went!”

[@GrimArtz_]

I would cry

[@sathoon5973]

I have to wonder if it's real. I don't want to believe that those set of circumstances could happen even in the most backwater town in Australia's Outback.

[@elite1193]

Your outride is a bigger health violation than the damn chickens

[@chinsaw2727]

My Dad has a story that in his home town there was a Chinese Restaurant that he used to go to a lot, but it was shut down because the Health Inspectors found dead cats in their freezers. The Chinese Place’s excuse was that they were “holding onto it for a friend”

[@queen-lf7kf]

LMAO 💀💀

[@Li-iq2br]

That one about the basement is definitely from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[@andr3s306]

What if its busy and there is no staff able to get to the bathroom since all the focus is on the kitchen :/

[@freedustin]

If they are that busy they can hire a cleaner.

[@ivy3134]

RIP to the deep-fryer kitty. And the poor pancake mouse that was being cannibalized.

[@daveice20]

Never eat Hospital food, I was bed ridden in a Hospital for nearly 14 days and didn't touch any food they gave me; finally they sent some nutritionist&psychiatrist team to see if I was recovering from my surgery or not, when they asked why I didn't eat Hospital food I told them "I don't trust this food" neither of them even tried to convince me, they just said "keep having your family bring food for you" lol

[@HelamanGile]

In China deep fried cat is considered the norms at least if you're at a local road fast food shop

[@donny4358]

That one tarantula story has happened to me, i saw a humongous spider at a restaurant, and i told a server, he told me that they have a tarantula in the kitchen so he can kill rats and roaches.

[@christianbh]

This makes me never want to eat out again

[@pauciloquentflibbertigibbe5217]

Feel the need to point this out. The bathroom is the responsibility of the people who work in front of the house, not the kitchen workers. A dirty bathroom is only a sign that the staff is poorly managed when you can tell that it hasn't been cleaned in a long time, but if the mess appears to be from the same day, then there's a very good chance that the staff simply haven't had a chance to clean the bathroom yet, as it isn't the highest priority for any single worker.

[@KittenLove536]

I usually love these but as soon as i booted this video up, my mom sent me a text about dinner. During the conversation i heard the story about the cat. I'm not hungry anymore.

[@KnakuanaRka]

1:28 Is it odd that my biggest concern is about the poor cat? ;w;

[@HDR95]

The bathroom thing ain't always true tho. chances are only maybe 3 out of 10 dirty bathroom truly represented dirty kitchen

[@deaththekid922]

i just love how the text to speech says tl doctor also since theres no music im now listening to world s at super low volume , makes the video better , lol edit: about the kitchen , if the thing with the bathroom is correct ,the kitchen in a local chinese bbq / buffet restaurant must be clean af , their bathrooms are among the most clean bathrooms i ever saw , they also have a show kitchen in the front which looks perfectly fine too but they prepare some things in the back

[@SeaSudsy]

The “if you want to know how clean a restaurant’s kitchen go check the bathroom” advice is stupid. Different restaurants I worked at had hardworking chefs who kept a clean kitchen while the waitstaff cleaned the bathrooms as fast and lazy as possible (just wiping down everything with Clorox wipes), if you REALLY want to know how clean a kitchen is then you’d have to look inside their walk-in cooler/freezer is but that’s in the back.

[@MoMorelife]

Just want to preface watching this by saying that I'm eating rn. Why did I click on this? I don't know. Edit: This was a big mistake

[@Jajalaatmaar]

Honestly, about the lobster story, I would have totally eaten those lobsters as long as they didn't have broken shells from the crash. I mean, a bunch of dirt and sand, big whoop. That's litterally what a lobster, basically a giant sea cockroach, lives in while looking for rotting fish bodies to eat.
