Why you need to triple bag your trash
I work at Walmart in the deli and have been working there for over a year. I work the night shift, so I have to clean up the days mess for the next day to start up clean again.
Mostly it’s the same every night and some differences in others; that depends on the number of customers or something happens while cleaning. Most of the big problems occur with cleaning because an unplanned mess happens and you’ll need to clean it up.
There’s one unplanned mess that has happened to others but hasn’t happened to me yet, until now.
When we clean out our rotisserie cooker, we pour out the excess grease from the pan it drops into in a trash bag. And sometimes there’s a lot of grease. And I double bag the trash so the grease doesn’t rip out of the bag.
Well double bagging might not have been enough.
Later on, when I went to throw out the trash into our trash bin. It happened.
I picked up the bag and RIP, I heard the sound of a water balloon breaking. I see a flow of chicken juice come out in front of me. The juice flows all over my pants and shoes. The floor is a puddle of chicken grease.
I don’t recommend warm chicken grease on your pants; it doesn’t feel right.
Luckily though right when it happened the maintenance guy walked the corner and saw the tsunami of grease; Which I’m sure surprised him to walk the corner and see that.
From now on I need to check if the bag of grease is too much to handle for the trash bag.
So anyone who works in a similar job, you’ve been warned because when it happens, it happens.
