I worked in hospitality for several years and customers need to watch out – why you should never order ice in your drink

A MAN who worked in hospitality for seven years has revealed the nasty stuff he's seen on the job.

Harry Marjoram, 21, dished out all the dirty secrets of the job - including why you shouldn't order ice in your drink.

"Be careful next time you go for food," the server, who has worked in hospitality since the age of 14 penned.

When you go out to eat you expect to have the best service.

But Harry revealed the grime truth that goes on behind closed doors.

Taking to social media he said: "I worked in hospitality for seven years and here's what goes on behind the scenes that no one wants you to know.

"I wouldn't order ice in your drink next time because there's an ice machine out the back that probably hasn't been cleaned for about two months."

"Black mould in ice machines can actually cause death," he added, which the states can cause respiratory problems and rashes.

He went on to claim: "The waiter that's handling your food probably hasn't washed their hands through their whole shift.

"Let's say you're eating dinner at 5pm, they've probably been there for about eight hours already - that's gross.

'"here's no doubt that a chip has fallen off your plate in the time it has taken for it to get to from the kitchen to you and the waitress has just put it back on the plate - you're eating chips that have been on the floor.

"Once I saw someone sneeze while they were carrying four plates - they obviously couldn't cover their mouth - a waitress has probably sneezed all over your food."

Continuing with theme of poor hygiene, Harry said: "If you see the bartender and your waitress disappear they're probably having a quickie in the toilets.

"It's happened more times than I can even count and no they're not washing their hands or cleaning anything up when they come back - they're getting straight back to work."

The server also admitted it was blisteringly hot working as a server in the summer months.

He revealed: "In summer it obviously gets really really hot - you're naturally going to sweat.

"I used to work with a woman who used to wipe her forehead with the same blue paper towel all day and keep it in her pocket - it's f****** disgusting.

"If you go to a restaurant and it hasn't got an open plan kitchen, you probably don't wanna be there because the chef's are locked away and you can't see them for a reason - they're f****** disgusting."
