A friend of mine who works as a janitor at a high end gourmet supermarket in a rarified suburban enclave called me on Saturday night to complain about a 450 pound male employee that works in the deli and does not wash his hands, or anything else it seems. Teddy, the janitor in question, has to clean up after this man in the men’s room using a degreaser on the toilet seat. He then texted me the contents of a sign that the owner has recently posted in the lunch room:
Your momma does not work here.
Clean up after yourself!
You might live like this at home, but it’s not acceptable at work.
Put your trash in the trash can that‘s sitting inches from the table, and wipe your mess up.
Failure to maintain a clean eating area for yourself and others will result in the removal of the picnic table.
No one wants to eat on top of your trash!
And you’re attracting bugs and mice.
Trifling
The employees that use this lunch room might be putting together your party platter.
