bubblooz tells us more.
Hey! it's the OP posting. I'm very surprised this got posted. Here is some information about the fml/my job. 1) We had a health inspector come last week and our place passed the exam. We are actually a very clean place. 2) The bug problem is being taken care of. There are traps all over the place and a pest control guy is coming in soon. Bugs are very hard to get rid of. Once eggs are laid, they will stay there forever. And the place used to be a KFC. 3) We barely see the bugs actually crawling around. That's a reason why I screamed, it was my first time actually seeing one. 4) Bugs do not go in the drinks or food. Customers watch me make their lattes, pour their coffee, heat their wraps, etc. 5)Even if the health inspector didn't come, if I was to complain and the place shut down- me and all my coworkers would lose our income. Also, typically every food place has their dirty secrets like this. Welcome to the food industry. 4) I am only 16 years old, however I need this job. I can't afford to quit. I pay my cell phone bill and majority of my necessities, and I am saving up for university. 5) I have been looking for a new job for a few months. I am handing out resumes constantly at malls and applying online. It's not easy... especially because I'm a part time student with little experience. The moment I have another job, I will give my two weeks notice in. And also, this experience was horrifying. I screamed so loud I startled the customers. I hate bugs. Once I was finished serving the customer I ran to the bathroom, got the bug off me, and then adjusted my pants so I could tuck them into my boots. I appreciate all the comments and the funny jokes!

Time for a shutdown.

"Customers are suppose to know about bugs". WOW. What a disgusting place. The board of health sure needs to know about cockroaches
I've worked in food service for years and the worst problem we ever had was ants. Small ones. In fact, I worked at a chicken place, and I have never seen roaches, silver fish, or maggots in my former place of work. It takes a reeeeeeeeally disgusting place to get roaches. Growing up, my grandparents had roaches constantly, because they were gross and unclean. I don't know what your manager told you about roaches, but they don't just appear. They don't hibernate. Something/someone/some action brought them in. Ew...
Omgggg i would cry lol
Sounds awful. I hate cockroach
Uhm... Anonymously call the health inspector!! Please?!?! Or not anonymous, just make the call!!! Pleeeeeaaaassssseeeee!!!

Sounds like a horrible place if they hide a bug problem instead of fixing it.
That is absolutely disgusting. The health department should be informed if it's bad enough for you to say 'the bugs'
