Food handlers card

div>


I had to go get a food handler's card yesterday. Rachel's gym is putting on a gymnastics meet and I am working the concessions. We had to sign up for a committee and I thought this would be easiest. I thought I can be friendly, take an order, and count money. This is the committee for me. So much for trying to take the easy way out. I found out I had to get a food handler's card being on this committee since we will be serving hot food. The real healthy stuff hot dogs, nachos, and popcorn. You know real good food for the gymnasts let alone all of America. Anyway, I went and took the test. I must say I was a bit nervous. I hadn't taken a test in awhile and I knew I couldn't cheat off someone else's test because they had a different test. I sat down to take the test and I was floored to hear this lady on a microphone calling people up who had already taken the test. She would say "Lupe such and such come up to the desk. You failed, you missed 12. Rob, you missed 5 come back tomorrow". This was on a microphone where everyone would hear. How embarrassing. I felt bad for these people. One lady even started crying. So, this stressed me out a bit more. How could I concentrate and remember the temperature chicken should be cooked to with this going on? Needless to say I finished and I passed. I really felt proud! So now I get to sell hot dogs, nachos and other junk food at the gymnastic meet. Lucky me!

That's pressure! I'd probably be the one who missed 15, sobbing uncontrollably.

good job!

that's funny! regardless of how you serve the food the customers are going to have gas and bloated bellies.

Well, it's always good to have a "career" to fall back on...just in case! :D

Glad you passed. When I took Justin in to get his permit I was wondering if I could pass now. Probably not. Have fun serving Nachos and Hot Dogs

Ohhh, I had to do that too, last year to work concessions for the band parents at the high school football games. Woo!
