6 months of our lead leaving a huge mess for his staff to clean up after he leaves was enough. Not only was this a food health violation, we could not access the department for the first 40-60 min because we had to do a massive clean up after him. I told management if you don't get our lead to start cleaning up after him self I'll go to food health and report the violation. Finally, after 6 months of staff complaining we all stepped in at the same time and said "we've had it, this is ridiculous" and started showing how bad it was. They're going to talk to our lead about it on his next shift. We'll see if the message gets through or not. Just because you are a lead or assistant lead does not mean you are exempt from cleaning up after your self. You can not leave two over flowing u-boats of garbage for your staff to clean up. You can not leave two over floating massive 10 ft tall towers of cardboard for your team to clean up. You can't leave the sinks filthy with debris from your trimmings each damn morning. Enough is enough. If food health walked into that mess or even osha, they'd fine us. I worked a restaurant where it was like this in the back room where food was prepped and the health department did shut them down until they fixed the violation. It is not acceptable for your lead to just ditch the mess and fail to play clean up. I've worked many other departments where leads always clean up after them selves. Apparently it's an exemption here. No, I warned them if it continues I'll send all the snaps over months of collection off to the health department. I/we're done.

This post just screams how lazy the associates are when it comes to easy work. The lead leads and you all are just expendable grunts. You do all the cleaning and prepping and what not. If such a simple job is to hard for you then just quit and look elsewhere for a job. Associates always think their so entitled. management will support the lead and get rid of the trouble makers. good riddance!

I once knew a store manager for another chain who told me he would get to know all the clerks at each store he worked atIf there was any drama or problems, he would listen to the clerks side of things firstThey were often lowest on the totem pole and had nothing to lose reallyThe department managers often had a bias, some favoritism or were always complaining, but the clerks told it like it is or was90% of the time he would err on the side of the clerksor at least give them the benefit of the doubtSure, the truth was often somewhere in the middle, tooThe managers and clerks sometimes both had valid points, or both groups might be a little biased, leaving the actual truth somewhere in between, but more often that, he believed the clerksAnd you know what? They would go 120% for that manager because he stood up for themDoesnt happen that often in reality, but it would make for a better workplace if more employees felt like they were being heard
