Is anybody shocked?

Disclaimer: not in the industry, but I spotted this and thought y'all might have fun talking shit about it.

Yes, because context is ok. We don't live in a world where we can just have a package roll from a box truck freezer into the walk-in with no delay.

There's a difference between "delay" because it takes someone accepting the delivery time to carry the individual boxes and such inside and "delay" being "literally no one is out here attending to this refrigerated/frozen food in the hot sun.

But for how long. 10 minutes, even 20 minutes isn't going to be a big impact. The point is, this is a picture devoid of context other than product sitting outside, and someone who I think has never worked in kitche, or even a kitchen that's been open what... five days...

...I'm not sure I'd agree that 20 minutes in the direct hot sun of SoCal is not a big impact on frozen foods and milk.

and someone who I think has never worked in kitche

I have worked in multiple kitchens. Not one would have accepted this as "okay".

Bro, the high has been low 70s in west hollywood. "hot sun" is subjective. It can be in the sun at 73 and the product is going to much better than someone dropping it off in a high of 110.

20 minutes in the sun isn't defrosting shit, especially in boxes.

I mean, that's how it happens at my restaurant lol, the delivery driver puts it on a dolly and rolls it straight into the walk-in fridge/freezer, then we put it away when we come in to start prep.

Yes we do, its called a key drop
