The waiter was fired for packing the leftovers of the guests. What are the hidden dangers of packaging other people's leftovers privately?

Leftovers are easy to deteriorate and even produce harmful substances such as nitrous acid, which is carcinogenic.

Recently, Ms. Du, who worked as a waitress in a hotel in Hangzhou for five years, was expelled from the hotel for packing a guest to eat the remaining river powder. Ms. Du herself thinks this kind of punishment is unreasonable, because other people also pack the leftovers of customers. Why will it become an expulsion for yourself?

However, the hotel believes that Ms. Du does not admit to packing the leftovers of customers, so the hotel will cancel the labor contract with the employees in the employee handbook "If the employees are dishonest and have fraudulent behavior, the circumstances are serious". This rule fired Ms. Du, because Ms. Du refused to admit that she cheated by packing the leftovers of customers.

In fact, it is very undesirable to pack the leftovers of guests, because if the leftovers are left for a long time, it is easy to produce a toxic substance, such as Yersinia, Listeria and other viruses, which can reproduce well even at low temperature. Usually, food can kill some bacteria, viruses and parasites by heating. However, if food is stored for too long, it is easy to release some viruses that cannot be eliminated even if heated, thus affecting our health.

On the other hand, guests eat leftovers, and you don't know if the guests have diseases such as hepatitis, so it is more harmful to pack leftovers for the guests.

So try not to pack leftovers for customers. After all, the hidden dangers are relatively large. But if you have packed it, you should try to finish it in a short time, so as to ensure your health.
