NO RESPECT!!!!

Log into Kitchen Cam.

CCTV on food preparation area. Tool to combat flagrant abuse of the facilities.

It’s not working.

T-Bags on the kitchen top. Food on the kitchen top. Food in the sink. Dishes left to rot. Disease invited to lunch! Extreme measures needed. Allstaffer sent out with a warning. No response.
