Let's recycle breakfast shall we.

I was working at restocking the items our hotel offers for breakfast and I came out of the back room just in time to witness the following:

Dude has the top off the cheerios dispensor with his hand inside of it. I give him a look and he asks me what I am looking at. I ask him what is he doing.

The response:

I spilled some cereal on the counter and I am putting it back......

I had to tell him that was against the health code.

I mean, really, he does not know what we use to clean the counter and he is touching the food with his hands to put back for others.

yikes........

I hope you dumped the entire contents of the dispenser in the trash.

[Headset Hellion]

Gross! But hey, at least he was cleaning up after himself, right? But still...gross.

Well, not a very bright customer, but you have to give him a couple of points for trying to be tidy. Could have been worse... a customer that witnessed this instead of you could have come yelling at you about how it was your fault for not locking the cereal dispenser shut like a bank vault.

[XCashier]

I don't give him points for anything. You'd have to be either a small child or an incredibly dense adult to think that it's perfectly okay to handle food with your bare hands, then put it back for someone else.

[greensinestro]

Me either. This is probably one of those dudes that does things like this at buffet restaurants.

And some people bitch and complain if WE (meaning the persons handling/making/preping their food) are not whole body sterilized (think The Andromida Strain) and encased in a haz-mat suit when performing our job.

Maybe he wasn't putting it back. Maybe he was grabbing a handfull of cereal to stuff into his mouth.

Maybe he wasn't putting it back. Maybe he was grabbing a handfull of cereal to stuff into his mouth.

If it's the type of dispenser I think it is, he could've gotten that much easier by putting a bowl under the exit chute, pulling the handle and pouring as much as he wanted. No hands in the cereal that way.

That's what I was thinking.
