whats the state of the stores that you have worked on? i know that the ones i have are in a rite state and am very aware of what i buy from them

I only shop in the ones i maintain.That way if i get ill its my own fault for not doing a better job.

I only shop at the stores I have commissioned, I check up regularly on the site and know most of the staff in the store.

In general the stores we maintain are pretty good, there are a few old stores which I wouldn't buy meat or deli from but the newer ones, especially the ones we installed or refurbed are in good condition

Its not the machanical side of things that worries me, the equipment is pretty decent, just the lack of cleaning and the staff that couldn't give a feck if its working or not. watch what u buy in england especially when its hot .

I would not hessitate to shop in the stores I know.

Some of the places I work especially the takeaways I will not eat at and some I wont even accept a cup of tea. The ones that are clean I do recommend. It seems like the health and hygene come down hard on those that are trying but not on those that dont care. I have had a ****roach run up my leg at an indian takeaway and I hate ****roaches!!!

I constantly tell managers how unhygenic there stores are and shame them into better maintenance.

I once found maggots in a hot chicken case....

Hi All,

At the end of the day the customer generally recieves the kind of service they are willing to pay for.

When i started my time, a maintenance usually lasted a week and involved checking everything and replacing all filters and faulty / worn parts. I couldn'nt tell you the last time i seen that done in the last few years.
