Complete Restaurant Destruction Following Introduction of Fresh Menu

Unbelievable The experience Sheree had was similar to that of a horror movie. In spite of this, she could never forget what had always been in front of her all along. In the end, her beloved job was in jeopardy. It wasn't long before she realized that what lay ahead would haunt her forever. Hard Work Pays Off Pexels Every aspect of Sheree Johnson's life was geared toward success. During her childhood, she lived in Baltimore, Maryland, along with her four younger siblings. Because she came from a struggling family, she strived to live a better life. Her hard work paid off in the end. Having been hired as the manager of a fast-food restaurant, she was proud of herself. Even though she was proud, she would soon face a test. All The Way To The Top Pexels Sheree began her career as a restaurant dishwasher, progressed to an assistant cook, and then to customer service, taking food orders. Her hard work paid off with her promotion to staff supervisor and then to general manager not long after. It made her proud to have come so far, and the staff members who had seen her development respected her for it. It would soon be the end of the restaurant for Sheree. Popularity Pexels Over the years, Sheree faced countless challenges while working at the restaurant. It was either an issue within the restaurant or a problem brought up by customers. The restaurant's menu was diverse and delicious, which made it popular. As much as possible, Sheree tried every menu item on the menu in order to better understand her customers' tastes. Her recommendations could be based on this information. It would surprise Sheree if the menu became an important issue later on. Loyalty Pexels The same faces would appear over and over again at the restaurant, regardless of the weather. All her "regulars" were familiar to her, with Uncle Henry proving to be her favorite. Every day at noon, he eats a chicken sandwich with coffee as part of the lunch special. Because of his loyalty and support, she offered him a special discount. It was a kind act that led to unfortunate outcomes, however. Not As Many Pexels The restaurant was a favorite of families in the local community, especially those who frequented it every Saturday. As a result of her employment there, she was able to witness the families' growth and development. The family consistently ordered meals together, and Sheree provided complimentary toys and ice cream to the children. In spite of this, she was surprised to see a decline in the number of families attending the restaurant. The Busiest Night Pexels Late-night dinners were popular on Fridays when couples and teens would stop by for a bite. As the atmosphere became louder and rowdier, Sheree maintained order. The worst fear of Sheree's life would come true one Friday night. She could not help but be concerned about a dissatisfied customer. The First Complaint Pexels Upon finding out that a customer felt sick after eating at the restaurant, Sheree was speechless. There was a suggestion that the oil might be to blame. This was the first complaint the restaurant had heard or seen. In order to find out the truth, Sheree carried out a more in-depth investigation. Doing The Research Pexels When Shereen inquired about the problem at the restaurant, she hoped to discover the cause. It stunned her when she found out that the restaurant was using outdated cooking oil. It was hard for her to believe, and she decided to find out what had happened. She must keep her eyes on the situation since the cooks couldn't get away with it. Talking It Out Pexels Sheree sought information from Gerald, the cook at the restaurant, as he had the most experience. As well as being a close friend, she considered him to be a mentor. Her office was the perfect place for them to discuss confidential matters. As part of her complaints, she also brought up the issue of outdated oil at the restaurant. Her reaction to Gerald's reaction was something she never anticipated. Frustration Pexels It angered Gerald. He was hurt by Sheree's suspicions that he was planning to jeopardize her in any way. She was like a daughter to him. Keeping his kitchen free of expired products was important to him, since he knew how hard she worked to get the position. Despite her apology, Sheree decided to investigate other parts of the restaurant. Thorough Checking Pexels There must be something wrong with it. Every item was fresh, whether it was meat or salad. A temperature-controlled environment was meticulously maintained by Gerald. There was no bad smell. Something else must have happened. Not What She Wanted Pexels Due to this, Sheree had to do something she hated. Her eye was drawn to the back of a cabinet when she moved it. Keeping the kitchen in top condition was always a priority for them. A sinking feeling came over Sheree. It made her want to scream when she saw something behind the cabinet. Pest Control Pexels An ant infestation was found behind the cabinet. It was a bad situation. The immediate need for pest control was felt by Sheree. A pest control company she always used answered the phone. Her restaurant was closed while she dealt with the problem. Sheree wanted to be extra careful even though Gerald said she was acting dramatic. Calling Mr. Davis Pexels It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Davis of the pest control company. It was common for him to visit the restaurant four times a year in order to fumigate it. Her only concern was removing the ants, not killing them. The passages they were using could hopefully be sealed off by Mr. Davis. This would not happen again. However, Mr. Davis delivered more bad news. Closing Time Pexels It would take him a week to thoroughly clean the restaurant, according to Mr. Davis. As a result, no business was conducted. The decision had to be made, even though Sheree wasn't pleased. Gerald would appreciate some time off, and she was glad to give him some. In order to give her beloved customers a special "re-opening sandwich," she came up with an idea. It was necessary, however, to deal with the infestation. A Promotion Pexels There was no better way to celebrate the restaurant's grand re-opening than with Sheree and her team. It was great to be back in the restaurant after taking a break from it. The chicken sandwich Sheree and Gerald had made would only be available for 99 cents on that day. There was a lot of traffic, and customers seemed to be happy. It wasn't long before Sheree's happiness faded. Everyone Loved It Pexels In order to keep customers coming back on Friday nights, Sheree and Gerald continued their 99c chicken special. There were four teens who frequented the club on Friday nights that Sheree spotted. The 99c special was also enjoyed by them. A girl came up to Sheree after they decided to leave to tell her something she would never expect. What Could It Be? Pexels It turned out that the girl had also been ill. Her night would not be ruined by them. Having been fumigated recently, she told them that all produce was fresh. Then she told them to never come back if they weren't happy with the food. Sheree believed they were sabotaging the restaurant after they left. However, the situation was much worse than that. Where Was He Pexels As Sheree had a lot of admin to do the following week, she sat down at a table for a more relaxed atmosphere and finished her work. Her attention was drawn to something strange at that moment. Uncle Henry still hadn't shown up by 12:15 p.m. It was common for him to have lunch here at 12 p.m. on the dot. Could he be somewhere? His Daughter Pexels Sheree grew worried when Uncle Henry did not show up the following day. It was impossible for her to reach him by phone because she did not have his contact information. However, she was greeted by a lady looking for her at the counter. Her name was Heather, the daughter of Uncle Henry. After having been sick for a few days, her dad wanted Sheree to know where he was, so she brought the message to her. The message made Sheree happy, but she was saddened by it. Another Problem Pexels Upon realizing Uncle Henry's illness, Sheree realized that he must've gotten sick at the grand opening. Besides his usual lunch, he had the 99c special as well. It was a bad situation. If he didn't recover, what would happen? To resolve this mystery once and for all, Sheree had to take drastic measures. No Other Option Pexels A few cameras were purchased by Sheree. It was her plan to set them all around the restaurant secretly to observe what was going on with the customers and the staff. The job was not an easy one, and she was risking the privacy of her staff, but she had no choice. It was the only way to find out what was going on. Sheree would regret her actions after seeing what she saw on the cameras. Watching The Footage Pexels All the footage was watched by Sheree. Neither her team nor her customers had anything to make her suspicious. Nothing was happening. There was no evidence of sabotage, and the staff was hygienic. The next day, Sheree dreaded seeing someone in the restaurant. Mr. Simmons Pexels In order to inspect the restaurant, Mr. Simmons, the health inspector, came in. For his trouble, Sheree provided him with a complimentary meal every six months. In addition to being kind, he also had a no-nonsense attitude. On his clipboard, he made notes as he walked around. It was always a mystery to Sheree what he wrote. Inspecting The Kitchen Pexels When Mr. Simmons entered the kitchen behind the counter, Sheree was nervous. Despite checking everything, she did not find anything unsanitary. There was plenty of food in the fridges, and everything was spotless. There was a good friendship between Gerald and Mr. Simmons. While Simmons was inspecting, they always cracked a joke together. It might distract him for a while. Anxiety Pexels Simmons next made his way to the bathroom and office after chatting with Gerald and inspecting the kitchen. Her office was a source of confidence for Sheree. In addition to cleaning and sanitizing it, she also disinfected it. There was always a concern about the bathrooms, however. It is always possible for something to pop up, even if they are clean. Sheree was dismayed to learn that's what had transpired. His Findings Pexels He spent some time in the bathroom, and when he emerged, he looked concerned. As Sheree braced herself, she felt herself trembling. Simmons' words were not what she was prepared for. After discovering something in the bathrooms, he discreetly informed Sheree that the restaurant needed to be closed permanently. He suggested burning it and rebuilding it. There was a moment when Sheree's heart nearly stopped beating. Toxic Mold Pexels Sheree was shown what Simmons had discovered. In the bathroom, black mold covered the walls behind the basins and toilets. Is there any way she could have missed this? She must have gotten sick because of it. People were experiencing stomach problems because of the toxic mold. According to Sheree, burning down the place was not an option. Her solution was simple. Fixing The Problem Pexels Sheree contacted Mr. Davis. Her knowledge of his mold removal skills was also impressive. Her discovery of the problem would take a few days, but she was glad that it wasn't the food that caused it. Several days after opening, the restaurant received a flurry of fanfare. It was a full house, including all the regulars, including the teens from Friday night and Uncle Henry. Sheree made sure that all of his future meals would be free.
