I have worked in factories manufacturing food and restaurants over the past decade. If only you had seen the things I’ve seen white people do.
No problem, for instance, with taking pallets off the ground with gloved hands and then directly handling the unpackaged food, even though you could just feel all the grit from the pallets through your gloves.
And in a restaurant (major fast food chain), no problem with plastic routinely breaking off the lid on a machine for making drinks and sometimes going INTO the drink mix. A customer once brought back a drink with a piece of plastic in it and the manager barely apologized while giving a refund, and certainly no one looked into whether or not there was more plastic in the machine.
One employee at the restaurant (white) even brushed his teeth using a brush used for cleaning another drink machine. It made his gums bleed. I asked him what the brush was for, and he said it was just used for scrubbing around the wheels of various machines. Later I found out what it was actually for.
Using plungers in kitchen sinks that were mainly for the bathrooms, where there were frequent messy stoppages, a common hammer used directly on highly frozen food, using buckets for liquids without washing them though they had sat around for months, and on and on.
Not just white people did these things, but white *managers,* even those above the lowest level of manager. Not that black employees didn’t do things like this, either, but so did whites, and even when in positions of power, as most in supervisory positions were white.
And I don’t believe I worked anywhere unusual.
I came to see this routine ignoring of standards as one fruit of the godlessness in our culture.
Yes, workers of any color may mess up my food through carelessness, stupidity, and being too stoned to care.
But I am talking about people messing up my food out of actual malice against white people.
