I (21m) work at one of, if not the most popular fast food chains in the US. I’m chilling on break rn and just got a chance to escape the heat of the kitchen, forgive me for any spelling errors etc. . On top of running a shift on my own as a red shirt (a regular employee) today, it is mid 80’s in the kitchen right now at my job. I’ve informed the general manager and i was told to give her a minute. That was 30 minutes ago. While customers, white workers, and the gm chill in the lobby in a crisp 70 degrees, my employees are in the back of the kitchen, sweating while they make food for people who don’t give a shit about them. Not to mention communication between the kitchen and management never happens due to most of them being native spanish speakers. I can’t help but feel that underlying racism is a part of this negligence. Without managerial power i don’t have access to the AC, or the breakers to reset the air filters above the fryers. Absolutely atrocious. I’ve taken pics of the temperature on a thermometer but i’m unsure of what to do next, if i can do anything. Any advice would be appreciated. I’ll update the post if the issue gets fixed as i can’t be on my phone at work.
