Dear Cafe, I quit.
I worked for 2 days at your cafe for a total of 15 hours. In those hours I experienced your kitchen and staff. Your kitchen employees are unprofessional and unsanitary, your kitchen is gross and just so you know, the sink by the coffee bar is f**ked. Really need to replace that poor mildewed cabinet beneath it and just have a plumber come in and look at all your sinks.
While i worked there, i was still in training. Though being a “trainee” i had more experience in a kitchen than any of your employees.
I was not introduced to any company policies, kitchen etiquette, health & safety guidelines, or sanitation habits.
When I requested help and guidance from your employees, they would not help me. They would instead fully take over the task in which i asked only their assistance, as i was pushed aside. I need guidance, not for them to do it for me.
I was in training, but i was not being trained.
While i was there, I believe i washed my hands more frequently than anyone. After i touch my phone, after i eat, before i make food, after i clean, etc. To the point where my hands were dry. How often did i see my coworkers wash their hands? Maybe 3 times in a 7 hour shift. Touch their hair or face? No wash. Phone handling? No wash. Smoking/vaping? No wash. Handling personal belongings? No wash. RAW EGGS? NO WASH.
It did not help there was no manager or an actual fully developed brain working in the kitchen. The staff’s ages ranged from 18-24. I think i was the youngest person working there.
Please get your s**t together
