That would piss me off if I was a big drinker

Another thing they do is when making mixed drinks pour the alcohol on the straw so it tastes stronger than it actually is.

I'd tell you, but I work for the government and do biological research, so they would probably kill me.

I work for a chain of A&P and the department i work in is disgusting.

Machines used to slice meat are never cleaned throughout the entire workday. Counters and cutting boards are not properly sanitized during my off days. My managers idea of changing the fryer oil is to remove the old and place in new oil - leaving all the buildup of old oil and particles in the new oil.

When my fellow employees use a cleaning solution or empty the garbage they normally dont change their gloves to save money.

On limited occasions i will prepare myself food at my work. When and if i do so, i only use new products in the walkins and shipped in packaged bread.

Old moldy cheese ends that were once sliced are used to make the Quiches.

The Chicken Salad at my job is the previous day or weeks Rotisserie Chicken re-used.

Always check the expiration date on a pre-packaged product. Chances are the work force is to understaffed to check for old products.

The thing is, it's your mom's secret as well. So unless you want to report your mother and grandmother to the health inspector, I wouldn't worry too much.
