HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT (Section 4)


Randall is a foodhandler at a deli. It�s 7:47 A.M. and Randall has just woken up. He is scheduled to be at work and ready to go by 8:00 A.M. When he gets out of bed his stomach feel queasy, but he blames that on drinks he consumed the night before. Fortunately, he lives only five minutes from work, but he doesn�t have enough time to take a shower. He grabs the same uniform he wore the day before when he prepped chicken. Randall is wearing several pieces of jewelry from his night out on the town.

Randall doesn�t have luck on his side today. En route to the restaurant his oil light comes on and he is forced to pull off the road and add oil to his car. When he walks through the door at work he realizes he has left his hat at home. Randall is greeted by an angry manager who puts him to work right away, loading the rotisserie with raw chicken. He then moves to serving a customer who orders a freshly made salad. Randall is known for his salads and makes the salad to the customer�s approval.

The deli manager, short-staffed on this day, asks Randall to take out the garbage, and then prepare potato salad for the lunch-hour rush. On the way back in, Randall mentions to the manager that his stomach is bothering him. But the manager, thinking of his staff shortage, asks him to stick it out as long as he can. Randall agrees and heads to the restroom in hope of relieving his symptoms. After quickly rinsing his hands in the restroom, he finds that the paper towels have run out. Short of time, he wipes his hands on his apron.

Later Randall cuts his finger while preparing the potato salad. He bandages the cut and continues his prep work. The manager summons Randall to clean the few tables the deli has made available for customers. Randall puts on a pair of single-use gloves and cleans and sanitizes the tables. When finished, he grabs a piece of chicken from the rotisserie for a snack and immediately goes back to preparing the potato salad because it is almost noon.
