@nypost: A fast food guest was left stunned when he recently walked into a Panda Express restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, only to find an employee stepping around food as he was cleaning a frying station. 🤮
This is what happens when corporate doesn’t schedule time for cleaning while you’re not actively bringing in sales

Sprayed toxic degreaser chemicals all over the food. Panda should fire him asap and retrain all their employees.

As a ex chef from panda express, yes we would have to do this hours prior closing. Even washing dishes, we're told to not wash the dishes properly & there'd be grease from weeks prior. It's a "Routine" Panda E likes to do. I do not recommend Panda E.

we have literally been talked to about standing on the wok ranges and on the fryers. this is temrination waiting to happen, and he's using chemicals above the food. Nope, that's a violation at the highest level too

It probably wasn’t intentional, but the fact that nobody picked up on the fact that hey this isn’t okay, means they all need to retake their food safety certification course cuz clearly they skipped right through it

You don’t need a high school diploma for these type of jobs. You could just barely get by in life and get these jobs. Nobody trained anymore. People just do what they think is right. They don’t care there’s food underneath. They’re not eating it.

Former cook/chef here. They don’t care. Panda is excellent at pretending to care. What they do is go back and forth constantly. You’ll have different corporate sheep pick and choose what to change. They’ll tell you that you absolutely cannot stand on the wok ranges/fryers to clean, and then the next month you realize it’s impossible to clean up there without standing on the fryer/wok range, so your manager tells you to do it. And then back and forth NONSTOP. ACO’s and above are incapable of forming one solid opinion or procedure. It is purposefully ingrained in the culture. I would do this, but I spray the degreaser on the rag and clean above an upside down wok/clean side of my kitchen. Above fryers waited till close. It is still hard if you’re at a high sales store and you’re a sole cook. You’re likely responsible for meats and sauces as well, so on a bad night you’re getting out 3 hours after close, so 2 hours after you were scheduled to leave. There are definitely shortcuts being made but it is entirely corporates fault. Horrible horrible horrible company
