Unfortunately for the owner of my workplace, employees have the right to breaks. Which means there has to be a break room.
The room isn’t very large, but it manages to fit all our lockers, three tables with seats, and enough space for food preparation.
The tables are always filthy though. We have a cleaning schedule for the room, but day staff don’t ever seem to actually do it. It all gets left to us night staff, which is a common occurrence here.
The table has scraps of various food spread across it, covering streaks of a former bad job of cleaning. The other tables are no better. One is covered in a single newspaper, pulled apart, distraughtly placed with no sense. The other also covered in food scraps.
No one likes it. But no one wants to clean, especially when they aren’t on duty.
It doesn’t really affect me. I just wanted something to write about.
