[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone notice that their used to be more supervisors on shift at these kind of places?  Now I see none.[/quote]

Right after they did their big reopening after correcting their issues from before, they had a food safety person on the line, I noticed.  I was in two separate locations and they both had them.  They were there to remind the workers to change gloves after touching different items or touching a non-food item.  They made sure the guys grilling used different tongs for chicken, steak, and the other proteins.  The one location had a bin of digital thermometers and the food safety guy kept checking temps on the hot and cold items.

I saw them for maybe a month after and nothing now.  I picked up food from Chipotle for co-workers and I saw the guy grilling chicken touch the raw chicken with his gloved hand to toss it on the grill, then touch the tongs to re-position the chicken on the grill with his raw chicken gloved hands.  Once he had the chicken all set, he pulled off his gloves and put new ones on and kept using the same tongs that his raw chicken hands had touched.  So after touching the tongs that had raw chicken on the handle with his clean gloves, he picked up the clean metal bins that the cooked chicken would go in and moved it all around in his area to the cutting station.  I told the one line person that he'd touched raw chicken and then the tongs and then switched gloves, but they didn't understand what I was saying (language barrier; I didn't know the Spanish word for raw or contamination.).  The guy behind me was like, "I'm glad I'm getting some of this chicken and not THAT chicken ha ha ha" and I'm just like, ummm, because you don't think he's made that mistake more than once today??
