Cleaning our store is a health code violation.

[Plaidman]

So its about 2:40 am. I'm washing our cooler doors with windex and a clean dry rag. Standard thing to do for my shift. Done it for years. Well a customer comes in while I'm trying to quickly finish the door so I can help him. He is staring at me, wide jaw.

ME: ???
SC: What are you doing!? Whats that blue crap!?
ME: ??? Uh.. cleaning the doors. With Windex...?
SC: WHAT!? Thats illegal!
ME: *laughing* Yeah. Sure.
SC: It is! ITs a health code violation! You'll get the chemicals on people food and drink and they will DIE!!!
ME: *Nodding* Sure man. Thats my diaboical plan to rule the world since my berat wearing pink monkeys failed.
SC: Is this some kind of joke to you!? People die, and you laugh?!
ME: *blinking* "... what do you want man? Its my job to clean this store for customers.
SC: I'm not shopping here. Your some high school drop out! Your not smart enough to clean this store the legal and SANITARY WAY! Your going to get fired! I'll make sure of it!!
ME: Meh. *Shrugs* "Better people have tried. Including naked people and space aliens.
SC: YOU LITTLE SMART ASS!!! I can't belive the stupid fool-
blah blah blah as he left and stormed out of the drive way.


Seriously, I thought he was joking at first so I played along. Then my dry sarcasim hit the roof and he left, and I realized he was just a SC, who thought cleaning a store was illegal.
Personally I thought not having a clean store would be illegal.

Oh yes tis the time of year I clean the store from top to bottom,since we are slow.People look at me like I'm killing them because I'm using orange pledge to clean the wood. You know these are the same people would bitched if the store was dirty. You can't win when it comes to CS

I agree. People can never be pleased. They either whine about the smell of the cleaning products or what kind you're using, or they flip out because there's a small snow puddle on the floor.

[zzapp the witch]

Orange Pledge doesn't taste bad, or doesn't taste at all, I use it on my kitchen cabinets and furniture, and I have yet to die from using windex on my windows as well.

You know, I hear urine is actually very clean and sanitary...oh, and a dog's tongue is supposed to be more clean than a human's tongue. Maybe we should employ those methods!

completely OT, but at least the texture of a terriers tongue is great for a back massage... I of course don't speak from personal experience

[Crazeyal]

That wasn't a SC.. It was an mentally unstable person. Who the %#$# is afraid of WINDEX?!?!

(according to "My big fat Greek wedding" Windex cures everything!!)

otay. So, rather than spend the money on a massage, I should just find someone with a terrier?

yes, at least my mother's terrier was always in need of a vigorous salt lick... might as well be on the back where his salt lick had the added benefit of feeling like a light massage

You could rent my beagle/lab/springer cross. She mostly does feet, though. My mother-in-law has severe arthritis in her feet and ankles and the minute she sits down the dog is right there licking her feet and Mums says it really does help.

I'm still trying to train her to walk on my back, but she tends to think it's an invitation to wrestle...

My best attempt at a rationalization for the SC's ranting: Perhaps he used to work in food service, and had been instructed not to use glass and countertop cleaners on the surfaces that come in contact with food. For example, at the custard stand we use a vinegar solution for cleaning the shake machines because the health department wouldn't want trace amounts of chemical solvents to potentially get into people's snacks. Maybe somehow the SC got the idea in his head that it's illegal to use chemical-based cleaner anywhere on the premises of a place that sells food.

Of course, here we use Windex on the windows like everybody else does. Not many customers enjoy licking the windows after all, and realistically you'd hafta tongue-clean quite a few before getting to harmful levels.

When you drink a can of anything you run the risk of any number of contaminations. Most cases don't come wrapped in plastic. They're shoved around, handled with bare hands, stacked in a truck, stepped on, sat on, etc.

They'd do better to worry about the chemicals actually in the drinks, personally.

Your customers don't like licking windows???
Mine seem to not be able to stop,like when I'm closed and they want it or when I take a 5 min break.
