Not to mention that if this is real, there's a high likelihood that paint could be highly toxic, considering this looks like an index card drawer that predated the internet and in use when archival data systems were in use during the Dewey Decimal era.

It actually looks like some mass produced “distressed” modern crap from China.

u/writing_spork Sep 16 '26

I don’t get how you would sanitize that in between customers. Or maybe they’re only using one per? Either way it’s stupid and gross

12

u/partumvir Sep 16 '26

Sanitation wouldn’t be the issue; lead or other industrial ingredients would be.

u/writing_spork Sep 16 '26

It’s all an issue bruv

u/hibiscus_lilac Sep 16 '26

Yeah looks like it came straight from hobby lobby

u/choreograft Sep 16 '26

These are the ones that really get me. There’s no fucking way this thing can be cleaned as well as it needs to be, with how many folks it’s being served to a night. They’ve got oily greens on paper up against the side and everything

Definitely a USED drawer. Gross

These chicken tenders taste like burning!

u/Riverjig Sep 15 '26

I would honestly walk out angry. This one of the worst I've seen on this sub.

u/NastroAzzurro Sep 15 '26

I’d call for an inspection

u/Nothingcomesup Sep 15 '26

oh, please bring back shovels 😭 this is nasty

u/Belle_Corliss Sep 15 '26

I don't care if the food is on top of kitchen paper because there's still a chance that at least some of it's going to touch the sides of the drawer with that ancient peeling paint.

This is my favorite subreddit. I just can't wait to see what's next. Potato's on a coat hanger. Pizza on a jean jacket. Sushi served on tennis racket. I'm gonna set up a Kalshi/Polymarkets betting matrix with a hundred possible "plates"

Don't give them ideas!!

u/IDiggaPony Sep 15 '26

I hope it wasn't the stinky sock drawer.

17

u/dickbarone Sep 15 '26

Why did everyone else at the table get a plate?

13

u/Chicken_Hairs Sep 15 '26

Assuming this is a special novelty order.

6

u/Silent_Swing4673 Sep 15 '26

Probably the same reason there’s three drinks per person.

u/Disney_Princess137 Sep 15 '26

Jesus Christ

Nasty asf

u/SpphosFriend Sep 15 '26

u/cityspeak Sep 16 '26

Sir you haven’t touched your drawer tendies, is everything alright?

u/PaxEtRomana Sep 15 '26

Would you like that to go? Or stationery

u/PaisaLover Sep 15 '26

Junk drawer

Wow, this is amazing. This along with most recent political events has me convinced I'm living in a Ren and Stimpy Cartoon.

u/holyfire001202 Sep 16 '26

Oh to be the dishwasher there

u/Sweaty-Astronomer627 Sep 16 '26

Yooo thats... unhinged...

u/eddmario Sep 16 '26

My doctor did say I had a lead deficiency, and this looks like that would fix it...

2

u/GWPulham23 Sep 16 '26

Utterly moronic. I'd just send it back and insist on a plate.

2

u/SamueleRG Sep 16 '26

Perfect wewantplates example really

u/TrueAmurrican Sep 16 '26

Just think of all the flavor those paint chips will add!

u/VinnyMaxta Sep 16 '26

Salad on paper ☺️

u/Significant-Arm-4802 Sep 16 '26

At this point just give me the chicken in the frying pan 😭

u/NovarisLight Sep 16 '26

File C... for chicken.

u/Rhelino Sep 15 '26

EWWWW it even has all sorts of fuzzes hanging from it, let alone the fact that it sure as hell doesn’t get cleaned in between guests. DISGUSTING

-5

u/Chicken_Hairs Sep 15 '26

I see no "fuzzes", and we have no way of knowing what the cleaning regime is.

12

u/Seldon14 Sep 16 '26

Its wood with chipping paint, there is no cleaning that to food standards.

7

u/Rhelino Sep 15 '26

Have you gotten lost or why are you in this sub?

1

u/Chicken_Hairs Sep 15 '26

Are we only here to make up things to blindly hate?

Maybe you are. I'm not.

u/DistractionCitron Sep 16 '26

It's a painted drawer. It's not food-safe. The wood is also more porous than a wooden cutting board. This is unsanitary.
