Have you worked at a coffee shop?

Question

is it against health inspection rules to wear flip flops while your working?

Answer 1

I am not for sure it is a health inspection rule, but if it isn't it should be.  I would worry about slipping and falling down.  Then your employer would have OSHA all over them.

Answer 2

well if coffee spills on your foot then yer! LOL

but seriously i dnt think so but it depends who u are working 4.

Answer 3

I sure hope so! Gross, imagine some one at Starbucks wearing flip flops and they drop your marble coffee cake on their greasy toes and then just pick it up and give it to you.

Answer 4

Don't know, but i sure wouldn't. If that coffee split on my feet i'd have a cow right there infont of everyone, and beat the person who did it.. lol...

Answer 5

There are no OSHA or health code laws for coffee shops.

I helped open a tea shop and we looked into it already. I cant stand shoes.

Answer 6

A lot of restaurants consider flip-flops to be a sanitation problem. If I owned a restaurant or cafe, someone walking around with uncovered feet, whose shoes are thrust upward with every step they take, with the potential for dirt to be thrown into someone's order, or the supplies, would be against the rules.

Answer 7

I've worked in restaurants for over 30 years, from fine dining to chains, from NYC to Florida, and I have NEVER worked ANYWHERE that would allow flip-flops (not even an outdoor tiki bar on the Gulf Coast). Closed shoes, with slip-resistant soles, are virtually mandatory, not just for health department reasons but for basic safety. I would be suspect about working at, or eating at, a food establishment that was so lax about this fundamental point.

Answer 8

ye you could trip you are ment to wear flat shoes that dnt show your feet
