Don't think about restaurant ice then...
(Hint: same ice machines, and the same lack of oversight)
Source: 10 years working commercial HVAC/R...
If it helps, I worked in restaurants for eight years and at least every other year, someone would forget how thermal shock works and put a hot glass directly into the ice maker, so we’d clean it thoroughly then.
So you know, not oversight or intention, but stupidity leads to sporadic cleaning.
I don’t take ice in restaurants either
Sporadic cleaning, or bits of glass in your drink...
I’ve worked for some garbo places, but all of them shut the ice machine down immediately for super thorough and annoying cleaning. Ice and glass are too hard to tell apart and the dangers of ice in a drink are too high for even the greediest managers I’ve had to want to chance it.
Someone out there might risk it, but it’s a pretty obvious thing to avoid
ice in a drink sure is dangerous. i specifically asked for a glas of water, duh
I am lucky I generally dislike ice anyway I suppose
Worked at a place that had an ice machine. I can attest in 5 years it was never cleaned.
