DAMN


Affectionate_Fee7151

my manager used to tell this story about how this exact same thing happened while she was working. crazy shit the oven door just slammed on this person! it might have even been you tbh, that looks rough i hope they paid up

I've got no burns since I don't work with food, but I've lost blood to nearly every edge and corner in the cafe, from the squeeze bottle holders to the dumpster lid. Oddly enough, I haven't been hurt by the bagel slicer blade yet.


rissaexe

There’s a little lip at the stop and I’ve scraped my hand on the bagel slicer before but never hurt from the blade


Jonansoni

Dude I cut myself on the mf handle of the bagel slicer and to this day I have no idea how I did it. This mf was brand new too


ChangeGlum

YET.

Oh I was taking souffles out of the oven one day and I double burnt my left arm, on my forearm and bicep. It hurt like a mf and I still have a slight scar. That oven also reminded me of the one Sweeney Todd pushed Mrs Lovett into 😂

I once had my arm burned by the oven door. I was grabbing sweets out of the oven and a employee decided to push the oven door onto me instead of waiting or just going around. I mean the oven door is open for a reason. This employee is also not the brightest and is also not a good worker either

Slice of tomato helps soothe minor burns! I accidentally l grabbed the inside of the oven door and two fingers and part of my palm were hurt pretty badly. Our prep person ran over to me with a piece of tomato and shoved it into my hand to grab… instead of getting horrific burn blisters, it was pink the next day w almost no blistering.

PhenomenallyAdequate

Don’t have pictures from then (baker from 2008-2014) but it was when they switched the miche from going directly in the deck oven to proofing for like 6 hours and going into the rack oven. I had mentioned countless times to the BMM, “Hey all our ten racks have weak wheels, can we get wheels for them? Those miche pans are heavy”. I was told I was being paranoid and that this wasn’t an issue in any of the other cafe. And it finally happened. Pulling out the rack and the wheel just gave up on the whole rack fell on me. I quickly covered my face with my forearms so that took the majority of the burns and my body was slightly red. Those Panera Tees were surprisingly thick and absorbed a lot of the heat. But at least AFTER the incident my BMM at the time had showed up during the day when I was home and replaced all the wheels.


No-Fail7509

they never listen to us. i got 3rd degree burns from someone not double bagging the soups and i had already told them abt it.


thebabyshrekofficial

burnt my arm on the oven, then a week later as it was healing i did the same thing in the exact same spot 😭😭


Loud-Loan-3279

I burned the entire back side of my arm in a bakers oven cause the hinges were faulty, and it closed on me.


Sure_Bat_5428

The amount of times I got cut by the BREAD!!

No-Fail7509

THE CHAI TEA SYRUP SPLASHED ME IN THE FACE YESTERDAY 😭


Dirtyibuprofen

They’ve healed but I have gotten many cuts at work A couple of them were my fault like fiddling with food stuck to the blade of the spiral slicer and being a little to zealous and stupid while cutting a baguette, but I’ve gotten like 4 cuts by stupid people putting sharp knives in murky dish water


AngelLK16

Does Panera compensate any of you? They should. Plus time off.


No-Fail7509

BAHAHAHAH i hope this was a joke


AngelLK16

I wish...I hope they at least have lots of burn ointment with pain relief in the ointment


Impressive_Case_3933

* I quit over a month ago and got these scratches around that time. And of course they're starting to scar. Loved me some sourdough 🙄

Locates4you1970

I cut my finger on the hand push Bagel Slicer cleaning it, I Barely touched the Blade, and it cut me enough that I had to wrap it to stop the Bleeding and then bandage it.. be careful ..I really was .. but it only takes the slightest touch , and you won't even feel it

Nothing compared to a real kitchen. Try working with fryers, grills, flattops, steam tables, ranges and convection ovens.


No-Fail7509

yeah my arm would be burnt off im to clumsy


Smokingdragon24

Womp womp


DepartmentSea8381

Oddly enough I’ve worked in real kitchens and Panera and the TurboOvens are fucking evil. I don’t burn myself in real kitchens oddly enough.


SeatImportant

And you shouldn't. Properly maintained kitchens are safe. Only people and badly maintenanced equipment get people hurt in real kitchens.


SeatImportant

Huh I think you just need to find a new line of work if you're getting injured that easily in a kitchen. Most people don't get hurt regularly.....
