Many years ago I had a job driving a milk truck. I had a lot of restaurants on my route that ran the gamut from "upscale" to mom & pop diners and both Wendy's & BK. If you have a job like that and you are in and out of the kitchens you wind up learning a whole lot of things that you'd rather not know.
People would be very surprised to find out how many of the kitchens in so-called "fancy/upscale" eateries are just plain dirty. On the other hand I had a cheap mom & pop diner that didn't look like much from the outside yet you could eat off the floor of their cooler.
On my route the most consistently clean stores were the Wendy's restaurants that I delivered to.
But just because it looks nice on the outside, or even at the counter it's not an assurance that things are so pretty back in the kitchen & the coolers.
