    Now ask yourself this, did they stop the grinder and clean up all equipment that may have come into contact with the hand? Or are we all eating a bit of human flesh from all the accidents that happen?

      I doubt you are serious but ive worked around these machines and grinders have to be cleaned pretty religiously since the whole grinding part tends to make it waaaaay easier for contamination/gross shit to happen. Most of them are very east to clean and wash out with most of the parts being removeable. They have to clean that shit everyday anyway if they want to prevent total filth.

      I worked in a small meat place with a mom and pop owner who were fucking insane people and we kept that shit spotless everyday lol.

      That said im sure the owner of this place is cackling at the fine they received
