Some drivers were 4 down by 9pm on a Friday, I saw two guys shotgun two beers before a run and just laugh. The assistant manager was even worse, when he was working drivers would just routinely grab pepperonis, sausage and cheese with their bare hands (which were coated filthy handling cash) and put it on a paper plate and heat it in the microwave in the back and open up the door and smoke a cigarette. There were literally three lawn chairs out there. And the employee bathroom, was so filthy the lone female driver would go next door to the 7-11 to use the restroom. I mentioned this before, but the most egregious thing I ever saw was when the manager spilled an entire can of pizza sauce on the floor, calmly scooped it up and used it the rest of the night for pizzas. He was like I have food costs to manage.
After I 'quit' Friendly's I started working at Carrabbas that was a much better experience, it was still full of drugs and shit, but the level of human-trash was elevated, and the people really cared about the food and I honestly thought it was amazing after seeing Friendly's and expecting all restaurants to be run the same.

Carrabba's was really good and the people really cared. It restored my faith in humanity.

But they wouldn't give me enough time off for tennis practice and matches so I left Carrabba's after a little less than a year, good times though.

Later in college I worked at a local pizza place as a delivery driver, and the things you mention above make the pizza place i worked at sound like a 5 star Michelin, I have so many un-godly stories from that place but suffice to say everyone was drunk delivering pizzas that was just entry into the club, the owners were heavy alcoholics, real alcoholics, they had delirium tremors etc, etc.

when i have time i should return and recount some stories they are WILD, hard to believe honestly.

Fairly certain I said this years ago in here, but if you have any sort of germophobia, literally just kill yourself.

Think restaurant stories are bad? Think of the processing plants....

Once you reconcile with the fact that almost every bite of food has probably a million bits of floating human DNA....
