I work in a restaurant and we have a rule about food that drops on the floor. If it hits the floor we throw it away. A lot of us think this is a stupid wasteful rule and use the food anyway as long as we think this is clean. Our manager fired a cook the other day for putting a steak on the grill after he dropped it on the floor/ how can we convince the manager that he made the wrong decision?

The risk of food-borne illnesses outweighs the potential savings of wasting food, which is why it is essential to dispose of any food that hits the ground. Furthermore, it encourages employees to be extra cautious with food to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in the kitchen. Therefore, the restaurant manager made the right decision.
