The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

chip shop - burgersHad a summer job in a chip shop when I was 15 (a caravan park somewhere in Whitley Bay).
They would use the uncooked chips from the day before mixed with fresh ones - urgh. I also had to peel the batter from sausages that were cooked the day before so that they could re-batter them and fryy them the next day - lovely.
When I was a student at uni in Bristol I worked at a large nightclub - Odyssey if anyone remembers it. When they were short staffed they would sometimes take one of us from a bar to put us on the 'diner' to server burgers & chips etc. None of us had any kind of formal training or hygine certificates of course. The burgerss got put through a kind of horizontal toaster which cooked them on both sides at the same time. Little did I know that I had the settings all wrong and that they needed to go through twice. They would come out semi raw, and that's just how I served them to the p!ssed up public - yummy. Sometimes they would fall out the back of the machine and onto the floor. Waste not want not.....particularly twatty customer - I've got just the thing for you....
Fortunately after the manager got food poisoning from eating ther eI was never asked to serve in there again - shame.
