        I am a very well trained piece of shit.

        But I am not allowed to clean the upper part of the icemachine ( where all the slime happens) because of liabillity. I do my best to keep it clean but not all of it is possible so while its one of the cleanest icemachines I have ever seen its still dirty.

        And I work in a very upscale cocktailbar in a very well regulated country.

        I can’t imagine this to not be the case. Every bartender I know is tweaked out of their mind. Even the ones who see bartending as an art.

        I’m not knocking their skill set. But they’ll be a rare breed if they think about bartending AND food safety at a high level enough to think about the cleanliness of ice.

      I used to work at a nice bar. It was just a side gig for “fun”. I was always very careful with the ice and ice machine, because i find ice gross in general. I still found it very odd how many people just demand “questionable” ice. I’m glad if i don’t get ice, please don’t ice adds nothing but grossness to any drink.
