Do you think it’s responsible for a restaurant owner to allow employees to touch the food within 24 hours of a 101.9° fever?

Welcome to america.

Today our pizza comes with a side order of a highly contagious pathogen at no extra cost.

Act now and we’ll even send your food to you in the hands of a delivery driver who still has a fever!

I hate this country sometimes…

It was covid btw…they had me go to work while contagious with covid.

Spreading influenza or coronaviruses while making food for customers isn't especially hygienic. If this person visited a doc and got sick leave but worked in time while being contagious, this could be even interesting for agencies who monitor food safety.

[dustybiker]

Stick it in the microwave for a couple seconds. People can be contagious before symptoms even start showing. This is just a life thing.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Pretty sure the digital thermometer would catch on fire if I did that. 🤣

[dustybiker]

@nottacocat6969 lol

[CaptainSmartass]

Yeah. If you work in the food industry, you should have to go off sick if you have a contagious disease.

Simples...

[Iron_Man]

I don’t think so stay home get paid get better

[NotTacocaT6969]

Staying home would mean being fired.

No sick pay.

[Iron_Man]

If the company is that picky, then why not do that?

[NotTacocaT6969]

Not sure what you mean.

[Iron_Man]

If they don’t want them back to work that fast, touching the food then why not pay them for sick leave they can stay at home and recuperate

[NotTacocaT6969]

They don’t care if I’m sick or if I get the customers sick.

They just want me to make and sell $3,000+ of food a day while maintaining strict paperwork in exchange for $120 on my paycheck.

If I die, they’ll just make someone else do it.

Murika.

[Iron_Man]

I’m so sorry to hear that. Maybe you should find a new job at a taco place youn seem to like that. 😂

[NotTacocaT6969]

Hm…the taco place did offer to pay me more…I’ll consider it. Lol

[Iron_Man]

Cool
I like tacos a lot

[shortster]

You are actually contagious before your fever not after it.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Google says you are contagious up to a week before the fever begins and up to two weeks after the fever breaks.

Either way, pretty sure nobody wants me touching their food with neon orange snot leaking from my nose.

Yeah…there’s a decent amount of blood in this mucus…

[shortster]

That sounds like you aren't well enough to be at work in the first place.

[TJ1892]

Definitely not - should be reported to trading standards.

[NathanDavis]

*~faints~*

[SaoirseS]

Doesn't sound smart to me.

[Agape93]

Not at all. I feel you

[joeldalton]

You're 29 and working at a pizza joint?

[NotTacocaT6969]

There are people older than me in positions lower than mine at the same pizza shop.

Welcome to america.

[joeldalton]

I live in America. Y’all can do better.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Need the money now.

Nothing better within reach.

[Dav1dTh0ma3]

Probably not ok
