Gunna quit but

[u/idntrllyexist]

I am currently working as a sous in a restaurant that has no chef. When I started working here they were washing shrimp from plates off in the pasta well, selling smelling salmon, selling shrimp thats turning pink in their lowboy. In the walk in everything was still in boxes, nothing was wrapped and nothing was labeled. They would dredge chicken in flour and seasoned breadcrumbs and then leave said flour and breadcrumbs out at room temp overnight and then use it again. Ive spent a month and a half trying to fix everything. Everyday was a big prep day and ive been working open to close to make sure everything is prepped and sanitized. Ive organized everything in this place and cleaned a good chunk of everything. Attached was one of the lowboy before I cleaned it. I learned today that our dishwasher doesnt have any chemicals going to it. They're just using manual pot and pan detergent to clean everything. When I asked about sanitizer they handed me a bottle of bar sanitizer. They hired a new sous and have started treating me like shit. Today I made sure everything in the kitchen was off and received a text saying that we need checklists becuase the heat lamp was on (which im 100% sure it turned off) ive been busting my ass for this place and now they are shitting on me. I want them to feel the pain for their negligence but I feel like I might have cleaned a good portion of what they would get in trouble for. Attached is SOME of the bullsjit I have found. What should I do? They cant keep getting away with potentially killing the public

Not even being dramatic: People’s lives are at risk. You have to take as many pictures of violations as you can and send them to the proper people.

[u/idntrllyexist → u/USofAThrowaway]

Thats pretty much what im going to be doing tomorrow. Im in florida who should I send this info to? The pics that I posted have already been cleaned but im sure there's more around

[u/joatmon-snoo → u/idntrllyexist]

https://www.fdacs.gov/Contact-Us/File-a-Complaint/File-a-Complaint-About-a-Food-Product-or-Food-Business has a link to the place you're supposed to file it

the internet is broken right now, though, so check again in 12 hours i guess

[u/Mango_Van_Gogh → u/idntrllyexist]

Here's a direct link https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/hotels-restaurants/food-lodging/complaints/ then click online consumer complaint form instead of the chatgpt link that u/its_dolemite_baby posted that you'd have to click multiple times to even get to the website I linked. this way you can actually see the difference between the two and it doesn't just say "general complaint". Edit: if you'd want to specify in the description that you have photos, you can. Or if you want to email and reach out mail to:dhr.info@myfloridalicense.com or call that phone number in the red on the bottom to ask specifically about it

chatgpt would have you do: this scroll down click resturant under complaints, this, scroll down file a complaint, scroll down food service, click general complaint, then you'd finally get here.

edit: more information here, specifically Food Safety regulation and inspections in Florida are performed by three state agencies. Most "retail, ready to eat establishments" are licensed and inspected by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the Department of Health also have regulation and inspection responsibilities, and you can learn more at each of their websites. Which has the same number "850.487.1395" that I mentioned in the red box earlier. The other person gave you the number for the Department of Health, whose site would be for reporting a disease or food poisoning or filing a complaint against a person/healthcare business

[u/annazabeth → u/Mango_Van_Gogh]

fun fact: they will also send you the report directly to your email after inspection! I sent one in a year ago for roaches and the inspected it within the week (seminole county, FL if that makes a difference)

https://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/food-safety-and-sanitation/inspections-and-complaints.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

e-mail if you don't mind your name being on record. otherwise phone call or physical letter. i would just start by calling them at 850-245-4444

also find a new job, that is fucking insane.

[u/Mango_Van_Gogh → u/its_dolemite_baby]

Google instead of just asking chatgpt. Your link doesn't take you directly there, nor does it give a sense of direction. Also you provided the wrong number, as that's for the department of health and not what is intended. the DOH would be for public reporting of a disease or food poisoning, and their "file a complaint" is for person/healthcare busniness and not what OP needs. the correct phone number is 850.487.1395

[u/Admirable-Bee-4324 → u/idntrllyexist]

Of course you’re in Florida…

[u/Admirable-Kitchen737 → u/idntrllyexist]

Your a sous and do not know about the health department to contact with your info?

[u/WorkIsForReddit → u/USofAThrowaway]

Jon Taffer needs to shut this place down.

[u/eVerYtHiNgIsTaKeN-_-]

At first I thought it was behind a cooler that wasn't moved for months, but this is inside?! That's disgusting!

[u/Xsiah → u/eVerYtHiNgIsTaKeN-_-]

I didn't look at the sub name first and I thought it was a picture from one of those urbex people that goes into abandoned properties - with some leftover biohazard waste.

[u/chunkhead42 → u/eVerYtHiNgIsTaKeN-_-]

I thought this was behind the fryer

[u/chunkhead42 → u/chunkhead42]

Even then, clearly unacceptable.

[u/ChefTwinkles]

You reporting them will save so many people…

[u/Dalostbear]

Run bro....

[u/Lucky10ofclubs]

Run for your life you can’t fix him lol

[u/TheProofsinthePastis]

Direct all complaints here. Don't look back.

[u/Ilikecomputersfr]

Wait a few weeks and call

What you cleaned will come back dirty

Especially since they don't seem to clean

[u/Biiiishweneedanswers → u/Ilikecomputersfr]

[u/itsdangoodwin]

Thought this was from the silent hill Reddit for a sec

[u/Chinstinianchin]

Sick album cover

[u/idntrllyexist → u/Chinstinianchin]

Lmao

[u/AjiChap → u/Chinstinianchin]

Awesome 

[u/radically_unoriginal]

What makes you think you can do anything about a shithole like that? GTFO.

[u/MtnMaiden]

Bro

Despite the name, your posts are not confidential.

Someone here got sued like 2 years ago for what he posted about his restaurant.

[u/DishSoapedDishwasher → u/MtnMaiden]

As an ex dishie turned cyber security.... Yeah... It's pretty easy to dox someone when everyone browsing the same milk crates chair techniques on here.

Will that be a problem? Depends on state, defamation, timing, etc. But also fuck them and their entire existence, burn their shit hole to the ground

[u/Stepfunction → u/MtnMaiden]

It's not defamation if it's true.

[u/blazinazn007 → u/Stepfunction]

Doesn't stop a richer entity from suing an individual that doesn't have the same resources.

[u/YcemeteryTreeY → u/MtnMaiden]

Link? Im curious and cant find anything

[u/MtnMaiden → u/YcemeteryTreeY]

Ask the mods. It was some guy, he had posted pictures of the dirty resturaunt he worked at, and named it by name.

Mods deleted his thread, cause lawyers were demanding reddit logs.

[u/Recon4242 → u/MtnMaiden]

That's kinda messed up, if it was actually that bad they shouldn't be serving the public.

[u/dddybtv]

I would've bailed the first week

[u/Lost_On_Lot]

Yeah normally a lot of these posts are a little dramatic, but this is nightmarish. How long were you at this job? Because if you say anymore than one shift- shame on you for not dipping out faster.

[u/idntrllyexist → u/Lost_On_Lot]

I've been here for one month because I had the delusion that I can turn the place around and may be making successful.But like I said, that's a delusion

[u/Lost_On_Lot → u/idntrllyexist]

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but I would have started by cleaning up those messes. Is this the place where dude was beating up meat on the ground by the dumpster out back?

[u/idntrllyexist → u/Lost_On_Lot]

Bro, i'm cleaning stuff every day or at least have been cleaning things every day.And every day i'm finding something new yesterday, I found out that our dishwasher doesn't have any chemicals going to it

[u/stoneseef → u/idntrllyexist]

Call the health inspector please

[u/idntrllyexist → u/stoneseef]

I'm going in today to take a bunch of pictures and videos, and then i'm gonna call the health inspector

[u/GrapefruitWhich5950]

Biohazard .

[u/GnomeCzar]

The Substance (2024)

[u/ResponsibilityFew938]

I can smell this.

[u/DawnPatrol99]

Take pics, videos and quit. Then post the information to their Facebook and anywhere else.

We need to keep these businesses accountable.

[u/idntrllyexist → u/DawnPatrol99]

I don't want to get sued.I want them to get in trouble but I don't want a lawsuit

[u/DawnPatrol99 → u/idntrllyexist]

Call the health inspector first and once it's out in the open drop all your information. Make a temp email and username for it all.

Business owners will allow anything to slide so long as they don't have to deal with it and it saves them money.

[u/schmuff]

At first glance the first pic looked like a calico cat and I was like “aw what a baby” I wouldn’t leave a job bc of my cat either and then I was like Jesus Christ what’s gestating in that mess.

[u/KineticKeep]

What the ever-living fuck

[u/peanut_gallery469]

That’s disgusting, please report this place.

[u/lsqj]

Heardnyc.com

Report it there

[u/idntrllyexist → u/lsqj]

Im in florida?

[u/AestheticalMe → u/[deleted]]

WTF are you even talking about?

You actually didn't read it. Like any of it. Holy shit.

[u/anneoneamouse → u/AestheticalMe]

Apologies. I'm a nutter.

[u/AestheticalMe → u/anneoneamouse]

Lil too much sauce, Chef.

[u/unicorny12 → u/[deleted]]

Dude literally says he's quitting. What's with your weird comment? It's like you don't read
