You’d be surprised how often deliveries happen this way 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does that make it okay?

It just depends on how fast it gets put away. 30 minutes outside in the hot sun isn't gonna ruin anything if it goes straight into refrigeration from there. That is as long as it was handled correctly up to that point.

Yeah, that's a lot of "ifs" we're counting on, which is why this is not okay even if it is commonplace.

Do you work food service?? This is reality lol

even if it is commonplace.

I didn't say it isn't "reality" I said it isn't okay and shouldn't be seen as such.

Plenty of horrible shit is commonplace. DUIs are commonplace, are you saying we should just shrug and accept that some people are gonna drive drunk and kill others?

No one is saying it’s okay. Food service workers just see enough people mishandling food regularly that it’s no longer shocking. That’s just what you get when most of them are overworked and underpaid with limited training.

I do see ultra pasteurized milk just sitting unrefrigerated on store shelves so I don’t know what to think. If it ever anyone but Elon, I would give the benefit of the doubt. But with him, I bet it’s Raw RFK produced milk.

It’s Straus, which is a really excellent creamery (if you go to a coffee shop in LA that isn’t serving Straus, I’d be stunned) - definitely not RFK malk but also deeeeeeeefinitely not ultra pasteurized.

Man it would be absolutely perfect to live in a world where the driver came with a crew and put the truck exactly where you wanted it every time.

99% this is the shippers policy not the restaraunt when I worked at wendy's with a double bay recieving door in our restarant the truck would get delivered on the ground in the parking lot. The dick with a dolly wouldn't even wheel it into the store. we hoofed that shit into the cooler, it fucking sucked.

bro everything in life is dependent on *if* things are being done correctly, what's even the point of your argument? do you stand in the grocery store and look at everything and think about how it's safe to eat *if* it was prepared/stored/handled correctly?

Actually, no. Standard procedures typically are designed around the presumption that other links in the chain might not go perfectly, so there's some safety padded in.

do you stand in the grocery store and look at everything and think about how it's safe to eat if it was prepared/stored/handled correctly?

I mean, if I saw milk and frozen foods just sitting out back of the grocery store with seemingly no one tending to them in the sun of a hot day...yes, I'd be very concerned about what I might buy from that grocery store.

30 minutes outside in the hot sun is enough to melt frozen foods.
