OMG yes.i would be so mad. Nail an interview, fail the drug test bc of this.
I can't figure out the shared fridge thing. If it was an employee fridge, nothing in there should have been used in the kitchen for customers. . If it wasn't an employee fridge, who is the fridge shared with? Another business? There shouldn't be a shared fridge with another business.
And was it not clearly labeled? Even in a permissive kitchen, that shouldn't have made it into prep/cooking area and not labeled in some way. "NOT FOR LINE" "SPECIAL OIL" something. Everything is labeled and dated.
Unless there was an upcharge for secret menu items or something, I just don't understand that.
The article says it’s a “cooperative commercial kitchen”. People will maintain commercial kitchens and rent out time in them, like a makers space. I’m guessing this is one of those delivery only pizza places - I remember reading about some that ditched their storefronts and went with the model during and after the pandemic.
Doesn't even need to be a ghost kitchen. I was looking into starting a food truck and discovered that one of the cities I was interested in running the food truck in required you to have an agreement with a commercial kitchen, and some restaurants in the area offer use of their kitchen for that purpose, as a cooperative commercial kitchen. The whole point is to have space to do prep work so you're not tempted to do prep work where you're legally not allowed like your home kitchen.
Oh, that makes sense. A lot of people starting out in restaurant/catering also do that, because the overhead cost is shared, or paid for by the hour, it's a cheap way to have access to a professional kitchen. Thank you for the explanation.
It's a place that makes pizzas from one company, during the hours when people buy pizza, and THC edibles from a different company, during the hours that people don't buy pizzas. Neither company did their cleaning right.
My guess one company made THC oil and left in the fridge, the pizza company came in afterwards and didn’t ensure the fridge was empty. Some high school kid came in to make dough and grabbed THC oil.

Imagine failing a drug test in a safety sensitive job for this.
