a cool fact about working in the pickup order department in the grocery store! sometimes, the program that you use to scan in items takes you through the raw meat department right before it takes you through produce. do you have time to wash your hands in between? nope!

#i only realized recently how fucking stupid and dangerous that is #honestly wouldnt be surprised if some of those romaine lettuce recalls were actually #bc of cross contamination from shit like this #WHO PROGRAMMED THAT FUCKING SOFTWARE?????#newt needs a text post tag #food safety #(maybe necessary context: you are encouraged to pick orders for carts as fast as possible #and you can maybe blitz through the orders before you get to the meat section #so that you have time in the statistic tracking your picking rate to stop and wash your hands)#certainly not standard practice tho #pickup people dont prepare raw meat obvi. but we are touching the packaging
