[QUOTE="Stormrunner, post: 1918112, member: 13471"] [b]Not just the customers...[/b] I've had some "fun" management experiences too... I never eat at KFC anymore after having worked there. The sterilizing solution says in big red letters "Do not get in eyes or on skin". Of course, no gloves are provided for the dish-"washers" ("Washing" consisting of dipping the grease-and-batter-covered rack in the sink, spritzing it with water and throwing it back to be used again - with most of the chunks still stuck to it.) The fryers contain hot oil at 400 degrees. The Extra-Crispy chicken pieces (covered in extra-slippery batter) have to be lowered in by hand until they touch the surface of the oil (which immediately begins spitting painful drops onto your hand) and then given a little flip so that they fall away from you into the oil. Again, no eye or hand protection provided. I let one slip once so that it fell towards me, and got a splash of hot oil in the face. Fortunately I made my Reflex save and closed my eyes in time. Then, keeping my eyes closed, fumble around for one of the wet towels (used instead of proper hand protection to carry the boiling-hot racks of Regular Chicken from the pressure cooker to the assembly lines) to wipe my face. No burn creme in the medicine cabinet - in fact, the cabinet is empty because they only fill it when there's going to be an inspection. About this time the manager comes back to yell at me for taking so long with the Extra-Crispy. I explain that I got oil in my face. "Can you still see?" "Well, yeah." "Get back to work then." Later I found out that if I had said no, I would have been retroactively let go - officially "fired" as of the day before so they wouldn't have to pay workers' comp (or the hours I worked day of the injury for that matter). (Saw it happen to another worker.) Bought my own burn creme, had blisters for a week, mostly in eyebrows and hairline where the hair had held the hot oil next to the skin. Still, it wasn't as bad as some of the temp jobs I've had... [/QUOTE]
