Toxic
I wonder how many toxic substances our bodies are exposed to every day at work. Some are as simple as excessive cold or heat to our skin. Surely everone has been burned by the bread oven or the potato oven.
There is also the exposure to germs from other people. Sometimes bacteria enters through breaks in the skin or from touching our eyes, nose, or mouth. Of course everybody washes their hands every time they touch their face or hair so we do not contaminate the guests.
How many of us touch the soup cheese or bacon with our hands or make salads ourselves when we are out, contrary to the rules.
There is the bleach we use and breathe. For me the worst offender is the spray used by the cooks to clean oven and grill parts. It burns my eyes and gags my throat. I know it settles on the food we serve because it is used when we are still open for another 2-3 hours.
It is something to think about. We are damaging ourselves inside and out by our own actions and by the conditions here.

i agree, it is any wonder that we do not develope some incurable restaurant disease. i can not be in the kitchen when the oven cleaner is in use. i can even smell it in the dining room. i sometimes wonder if the guest smell it. some guests have mentioned to me that the oil spray we use was bothering them as we used it to clean the wood. and of course, we all have the scars from baking bread. that should not be our job anyway!!!!!!
there should be a health department law against using that oven cleaner while the restaurant is still open for business. there might already be one. we here don't much abide by any set of rules but our own or stascy's own.
that gd desgreaser spray burns and takes away the breath. it is caustic and must be against health rules
