    I remember working in fast food and almost nobody ever thought to clean the nozzles or clean out the ice bin.

    There is probably a ton of mold inside where the ice is kept.

      Friendlys does! Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, we “cleaned” them by letting them sit in seltzer and then wiping them off before reattaching them. I’m only now realizing that we went to so much effort to do that, but using the same sanitizer as the soft serve machines would have been significantly more effective and easier.

      It at least keeps things like black mold or giant bacterial colonies from getting hold, but it’s kind of pointless.

      When I worked at subway… Fuck me 10 years ago this month…

      We pulled them nipples and the inserts off every night and rinsed them in hot water, then left em overnight in sanitizer solution, and I (being 6’4") had to clean the ice holder every 2 weeks to a month, never got told bad in there thanks to that

      There was a picture our boss would show you of what happens when you don’t that convinced everybody to clean it religiously. We got free drinks from the machine, after all, we’d only be killing ourselves faster with that shit being dirty
