OK so heres the deal

I work in a cafe where we sale basically sandwich,soup, lattes, coffee, and. . smoothie drinks.

Not a large selection as you can see. We received a new order of food yesterday at about 1:00pm and and didn’t get put away right because I had to take an hour lunch break and at the time I was the only available co-worker holding down that department. Of course someone from another department was sent there to cover my lunch break bu they new very little about the department so they were of no assistance.

Anyways,

by the time I got back a lot of the food which was just packed sandwich meat and frozen soups amongst other items were beginning to thaw and finally one of the idiots I worked with came in and stated freaking saying that the meat

should be re-frozen. . . . and that people are going to get food poison and all this other shilly shally!!

I know that it is very important to be health & hygiene conscious when dealing in the foodservice department. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I believe in serving people food I would eat. . . . so that means nothing nasty and thrown together any kind of way.

Our cafe truly stands strong and believes in presentation in food and hygiene. . .

Heres the deal I work with a young high school and college students. I am a college student as well.

Our supervisor is out on vacation. but there are several reasons and policies that my job have that kept me from getting to the food right away. I called the one of the other supervisor for help and I did not receive it properly.

I feel somewhat responsible. Only thing is I do not have the authority to throw any of the food away. We received an order of food over I can imagine 1,000′s of dollars.

Should the food be thrown away or do you think we will be OK. The thing is the stuff didn’t get so thawed that it became hot or room temperature. . . . . it was all still (sand which meat )cold.

What should be done please. . . and don’t freak out!!

Boomer Angst: A visit to China helps American size up the situation
Ain’t no Big Gulps in China.

After more than a week in this amazing country of 1. 3 billion souls, I can report firsthand that the Chinese, as a group, are not big gulpers. Shanghai is a sophisticated, modern metropolis with millions of people milling about on the streets sporting clothes that would be right at home in the U. S.

Just one thing is missing from their ensembles. The throngs aren’t schlepping monster-sized drinks as they go about their merry ways. No 32-ounce plastic cups of soda. No mega-mugs of coffee. No half-gallon jugs of water.

This despite the 3,500 KFC and 1,300 McDonald’s restaurants in China. Not to mention the Dairy Queens and Starbucks. So it’s not as if huge drinks aren’t available. But you simply don’t see the Chinese imbibing, at least not on the go. The only liquid generally served at meals is soup. Afterward there’s hot tea, served in cups we’d consider small.

To accommodate uber-thirsty American and Canadian tourists, restaurants and hotels serve one beverage per customer at meals to tour groups like the one I’m with. You’re offered a choice of the local beer, Sprite, Coke or bottled water — served in a juice glass. Want a refill? That costs extra.

Think about the traditional Chinese tea sets. There’s a lovely pot and six or eight teeny, bowl-shaped cups. We attended a tea ceremony in the scenic town of Guilin and were instructed to finish our tea in exactly three sips. Which wasn’t tough, since the Lilliputian cups wouldn’t hold a thimble-full more.

Your perspective on size is influenced by your culture, I’m finding. A slim tumbler seems an adequate-sized drink to the Chinese but seems woefully small to Americans. On the other hand, a guide remarked she was from “a medium-sized city, only 4 million people. ” A city of 100,000 was described by another guide as “a small village. ” No surprise they feel that way, as more than 100 cities in China boast populations of at least 1 million.

The largest metropolitan area in the world today is Chongqing (say it chong-ching), with 33 million residents. Each year another 500,000 people move in. You see 20- and 30-story apartment buildings cheek by jowl, hundreds and hundreds of them as far as the eye can see. An estimated 250 “private cars” are added to the road in Chongqing every day, not counting trucks or company cars.

Visiting China quickly disabuses you of the notion that the world revolves around us, us, us, in the United States. This excerpt from a textbook, Unheard Voices: Celebrating Cultures From a Developing World, sums it up nicely:

If the World Were a Village of 100 People …

61 would be Asian.

12 would be African.

10 would be European.

10 would be Latin American.

6 would be North American.

1 would be Australian.

17 would speak Mandarin Chinese, while only 9 would speak English.

70 would be illiterate, and only 1 would have a college education.

50 would be malnourished, and 33 would have no access to clean, safe drinking water.

Sort of makes my petty gripes and grievances seem like chump change.

Guess I can manage to survive on little gulps.

I already have the file that I downloaded, I just need help on how and where in the game file to put it.

okay so i spilled hot coffee on my foot the other day and i was wearing open toe shoes, today we get a memo that there are no more open toe shoes at work! the other girls who work there are mad at me, and i think this is ridiculous, it would have hurt just as bad in pumps, but they are not saying no more coffee! does anyone think this is as stupid as i do, i feel really bad! i work in a law office but i’d rather not say where.
i am not an attorney (but i will be going to law school in another year) and i didn’t want to make a big deal about it happening at work-anyway, it’s been a pretty casual office before this, i know in a more formal office it would be different i just don’t want to wear close toe pumps all summer!
cycwow, i have a life thank u and also thank u for sharing ur insight about current issues in tort law, cd u maybe send me a cpy of ur first book?

kodak-thanks girl, but my boss is a woman, the perfumed letter wouldn’t really help, u have been following this from the first!
