I have to wash those things 3 times every shift since they went back to the regular style machines. It sucks. Especially since they're plastic so they can't just be tossed into the sanitizer or they'll melt. Gotta do it by hand ๐ฌ
decades ago, I had a friend that worked at a gas station and I helped her close. one of the tasks was cleaning the nozzles. I did it for her because I like detailed tasks. it was fucking disgusting. like they had never been cleaned before.
when my friend saw I was scrubbing them, she told me I just needed to plop them into some water/vinegar and overnight they'll be "clean".
I never got soda from that place after that unless it was in a bottle.
I feel like maybe that's how other shifts do it, because they're gunky as hell the first time I do it on mine in the mornings. Or they just don't do it at all. Unlike every other janitorial job I've had, my McDonald's does not have the charts you sign each time you clean something and I doubt the manager is checking every little thing. The only things they ever get on MY ass about is the ceiling panels, the windows, and the owner himself is always nitpicking the parking lot no matter how clean it is.
oh man. my sister's first job was Carl's Jr. they had these biscuits and gravy breakfast meals that were kept in this hot case.
manager told her to clean it, so she cleaned it like anyone who grew up in a house that was meticulously cleaned.
had to be like 100 dead roaches sitting on the top of it with dust and grease 1/4" thick. this thing never once got cleaned.
she asked the manager if that's normal and he bitched her out for "cleaning too much". something about they only had to clean where the food touched.
she quit a month later when he tried to assault her. dad had a few words with the guy and he too quit soon after.
