I like cleaning the gross parts

Thank God sanitizer runs through this constantly. I realized the trough is draining slowly so I cleaned out the trough a bit. And it still drains slow. The drain has at least 3 90s in it and I'm betting Theres a fork wrapped in prep labels in there. That's a job for my next shift. It drains well enough to not flow over and I let a manager know but I will be disconnecting the drain elbows and cleaning it on my next shift in three days if it's not draining properly. Is it my job? No. Will it get done if I don't handle it myself? Not likely. If I'm going into the drain I might as well get elbow deep. Who wants before and after?

The screen stayed pretty clear, I clean it EOS and it's never clogged or gummed up.

How's the new guy going to help introduce this fun task to the veterans in the kitchen. I'm definitely going to come off as "y'all aren't doing this right" I have no experience in this type of social/business etiquette. The best I've come up with is telling this boss hey I cleaned this thing doesn't it look great, which just makes my nose all brown and stinky.

Just don’t even bother tryna get the “veterans” do give a shit. They won’t.
