Something similar happened to me but on the customer side, I ordered cream chicken and a piece of the cream package they used to make fell into the food, thankfully I saw it before it was in my mouth, it was blue as well so I don’t know how they missed it.
Dude! I had a guy I was a boss over very similar ro Alex. We gave him special jobs so we knew where he was and what he was doing. We would still find him wondering off into the woods. Lol
I work in a cookie factory and ours are also detectable by a metal detector. So if that thing goes of and we find a plaster in there, it’s goodbye for all the stuff we produced that day basically.

The blue is only one feature. It also has small metal threads that are easily detected by a specific sensor on the production equipment. There is a test to run at the beginning of the shift to make sure the sensor is working properly.
Yup anything to do with food. We handle food packaging. There are a whole slew of rules and regulations for anything that could come into contact with any of the product material.
Alex is a concern always, but I'm most impressed by how Alice calmly stated "time to throw away everything you just baked." I feel like most of us would be screaming at Alex at that point, rather than just accepting the inevitable and moving forward with our days. ^^;
This reminds me of when my sis cut her self while cooking. She told me that if i eat something that feels off , that would be her nail and a bit of her skin. I have never been so disgusted in my life. Any time i pay her a visit, i still ask her " I hope you didn't cut yourself, lemme see your hands".
I'm American, and when you say plaster, i think of a large tub of white stuff you put on a wall to fix a hole. So that makes me think people are putting it in there wounds XD (I know itsa bad-aid, regional differences are funny)
Yup, unless yall can find the plaster, it’s all gotta get out the store. Id rather bite an earring than a bandaid. Even tho its sterile, its gross lol. And if u cut ur finger, ur stuck pissing with gloves all day till it heals. Rules should be pink and blue stripes. Or blue with black border white stripes. Idk.
I once worked in a potato factory. At some point quality control noticed a metal rod gone. Quality control decided that the production of the last 8 hours went to waste.
I heard about the blue plaster rule about 30 years ago when watching the BBC comedy "Chef" with Lenny Henry. It seems to be a universal rule. As Chef explained, "there are no blue foods"
@@onichateim5572 ya just need a spoon and a pot to make box curry, y'ain't gonna lose a bandaid in there, and even if ya do, most people're gonna notice the weird clump of plastic floating around in their _Sega Soup™_
I am genuinely is Concerned & curious about ALEX ,not just How did this guy went through Culinary school ? But also Navigate through Life -- damnn he is Hazardous
When i was working on hotel kitchens, every time we cut a finger, we put blue plasters and then two pairs of gloves, one on top of the other. Management was super serious about this stuff😅😅
I know the rules for gloves are different there but if wearing a band-aid/plaster shouldn't you wear a glove over it? Or is the blue colour all you need?
@@baumeister5705 The problem with this is that most finger cots I have seen seem to be FLESH coloured! Or at least natural latex which, is of course almost flesh coloured...

My Granny and Papoo ran a restaurant back in the 80s/90s. One time, my Granny was doing all the prep work and didn’t realize her bandaid had come off until she was mixing up a MASSIVE batch of coleslaw. She dug through the whole thing hoping it was in there so she wouldn’t have to throw all the other food out. It was!
Idk about Ireland but in the US it’s technically illegal to charge workers for mistakes. It’s considered part of the cost of business, the company assumes the financial risk of any work done when they hire someone.
The gm at the restaurant I served at for years was a huge stickler about the blue bandaids. If you got a cut anywhere between elbows and fingertips outside of work and came into work wearing a regular bandage, he'd make you immediately change it to a blue bandage from the restaurant's first aid. Which made sense tbh.
This is a learning moment. Don't throw them away, yet. This is when you order Alex to find the plaster. If they don't find it, write up and lesson learned. If they do, lesson learned, no write up necessary, unless you wanna be petty.
To this day my mother refuses to go to Pizza Hut because there was a band-aid in the pizza. Even though this happened 30 years ago and 900 miles away from where she lives.
One I think that throwing all that food away is a waste I get not wanting people to do something like this on purpose just so they can take food home but it still feels like a waste to throw it away vs Just letting the employee have it. And secondly where did you get those postures from Paris?
Blood is Biohazard. And a Bandaid is a massive Health Hazard in Food. By Health codes, they HAVE to throw the food away. If they get caught giving contaminated food to Anyone even Employees, they can be shut down
I think you arent understanding the scale of businesses. Lets split up one or two hundred food items amongst like 4 employees. Been there, everyones friend and family got bread. Still threw away a good amount
FYI: For USA, you would probably say bandage or BandAid instead of plastir. BLUE does seem like a good idea for bakers, as it would likely be more visible in pastries than pink.
No, the right response is to start opening the baked goods one by one and keep going until you find it. Statistically, you have a 50% chance to spot it in the first half. Of course, it might not make sense from am efficiency point of view. But I would make the employee do it and dock her pay.
Alex definitely should it be charged for having to throw away all that food for his stupidity. Don't employees need to wear gloves especially if they're wearing bandages on their hands
Alex having a job for a year is a mystery for the generations
I think the employees become the "alex of the day" when they slip up
If I remembered currently from the lore, it's a nepotism thing
@@quokka_ytDoes it count as nepotism if she was obliged to hire him so his mother doesn't cause a scene and bothers them all of the time or try to flood and/or incinerate her bakery again so she has no option than to sell it back to the previous owner, Alex's mom?
Her job is being a cautionary tale
@@Jack_Ceu_e_TerraI think it's his grandmother who's the problem and not his mom, but I could be mistaken.
How has Alex not been caught by the Health Inspector???? Not Alice, but Alex?! He creates a hazardous environment
Alex is a placeholder character meant to contain every newbie mistake in one person, they're not an actual person (I hope)
SHUT UP I’M DEFENDING HIM WITH MY LIFE
For the same reason he hasn't been fired for other offenses. Nepotism.

@@TheOneTheaEndYeah, that is what I feel like as well. It would make total sense.
At this point I'm convinced that the only reason Alex is kept on staff is because it's safer for everyone if somebody knows where he is at all times 😂

😂😂
Dude! I had a guy I was a boss over very similar ro Alex. We gave him special jobs so we knew where he was and what he was doing.

The plaster being blue is genius. Alex, not so much.
I work in a cookie factory and ours are also detectable by a metal detector. So if that thing goes of and we find a plaster in there, it’s goodbye for all the stuff we produced that day basically.
I am GENUINELY concerned for Alex’ wellbeing like in general
He's beyond inadequate.
Alex is fine, it's everyone else I'm worried about.
"Tell me it wasn't while you were baking."
"Oh then I should stop talking. Or you should stop listening!"
Alex is a health hazard
alex is what comes up when you look in a dictionary under hazard
@@katariiiiiinaYep!
Definitely
Alex is a business hazard.
I feel like people say "bless his heart" a lot when talking about Alex.
More like wouldn't make it to lunch on the 3rd day at work.
I hope our friends across the pond recognize the expression!

Alex is more and more making me scream "WHY HASN'T HE BEEN FIRED YET?!"
Exactly my thoughts 😂
Alex is probably a codename for employee in these vids.
Probably a fictional character
Question is, who else is willing to work for the low wages she probably pays them?
Why would you assume that @@jospenner9503
Baked and Plastered? Wordsmithery!
But seriously a blue bandaid is a seriously good idea.
Blue bandaids are actually the standard in most food prep environments. They show up a lot on the Great British Bake-Off.
The blue is only one feature. It also has small metal threads that are easily detected by a specific sensor on the production equipment. There is a test to run at the beginning of the shift to make sure the sensor is working properly.
Yup anything to do with food. We handle food packaging. There are a whole slew of rules and regulations for anything that could come into contact with any of the product material.
It's a legal requirement in Food Service/Hospitality establishments.
And gloves. Just in case.
Alex is walking anxiety for everyone there.
Alex is a concern always, but I'm most impressed by how Alice calmly stated "time to throw away everything you just baked." I feel like most of us would be screaming at Alex at that point, rather than just accepting the inevitable and moving forward with our days. ^^;
Poor Alex doesn't seem to be the brightest crayon in the box

I have never been so disgusted in my life. Any time i pay her a visit, i still ask her " I hope you didn't cut yourself, lemme see your hands".
Eww. Why would she not just clean it up and toss out any crap that touched it on her cutting board??
😂😂😂
Person with 2 college degrees and management experience: *Unemployed*
Alex:
Alex needs to have a sit down amd a chat about his conduct as these things need to change.
Stuff like that is definitely the worst 😭
I'm American, and when you say plaster, i think of a large tub of white stuff you put on a wall to fix a hole. So that makes me think people are putting it in there wounds XD
(I know itsa bad-aid, regional differences are funny)
Alex reminds me of an assistant I had years ago. Just as inept/dim but he did honestly try. Took me quite some time to find something he was good at.
Yup, unless yall can find the plaster, it’s all gotta get out the store. Id rather bite an earring than a bandaid. Even tho its sterile, its gross lol. And if u cut ur finger, ur stuck pissing with gloves all day till it heals.
Rules should be pink and blue stripes. Or blue with black border white stripes. Idk.
Okay, but as far as I know, having a plaster on alone should be a reason to wear a glove over that hand.
Exactly!

Good on you for being so diligent!

Try layering your voice over itself in the edit at the end of sentences, makes the conversation feel more natural (like there’s actually two people)
Honestly I would have let him go because of the amount of time he’s messed up could shut some places down already
Alex is a menace 💀
I know the rules for gloves are different there but if wearing a band-aid/plaster shouldn't you wear a glove over it? Or is the blue colour all you need?
You need at least a finger cot it looks like a small version of a con dom but it’ll protect the band aid and the food.
@@baumeister5705 The problem with this is that most finger cots I have seen seem to be FLESH coloured! Or at least natural latex which, is of course almost flesh coloured...
The bandaid is supposed to be blue and then have a blue glove over it
Oooooooh, that why all the bandaids at work are blue! I always wondered about that! (Restaraunt)
It’s like someone else said, whenever anyone does something dumb, they become Alex in that moment
I love ur vids. One day im gonna travel just for this-
They better have a warning on every dessert that alex has baked saying "CAREFUL! alex baked this dessert, proceed with caution."
Omg alex is so comical 😂😂😂
Alex might be a hazard but we love him
I had guys who worked for me like Alex. All I could do is shake my head and say "I'm helping feed their family."

Hope the cost of supplies is charged to him. He knows better by now.
Idk about Ireland but in the US it’s technically illegal to charge workers for mistakes. It’s considered part of the cost of business, the company assumes the financial risk of any work done when they hire someone.
The TV show Chef! Has an episode about one of the chefs losing a plaster in the food.
Fun fact, they're not just blue they're also radio opaque so they show up on x-ray scanners
The gm at the restaurant I served at for years was a huge stickler about the blue bandaids. If you got a cut anywhere between elbows and fingertips outside of work and came into work wearing a regular bandage, he'd make you immediately change it to a blue bandage from the restaurant's first aid.

"Hey Alice. How do you put out a grease fire?"
How is Alex not fired yet omg
"It was definitely when I was baking" this gave me anxiety
BLUE PLASTERS!
Also GLOVES!
Maybe you should throw Alex out this time😂
If you pause the video after like 1.0 seconds, she looks like Sid from IceAge, smiling weirdly :D
Alex is definitely family because there's no way they wouldn't be fired by now if it wasn't for that 😂
Like the episode of "Chef staring Lenny Henry "
This is a learning moment. Don't throw them away, yet. This is when you order Alex to find the plaster. If they don't find it, write up and lesson learned. If they do, lesson learned, no write up necessary, unless you wanna be petty.
I quite like this series
Uhhhmmmm Alex ever heard of GLOVESSS?? 😅
At this point, keeping Alex employed is a bad business choice on your part.
I didn’t know that’s why we use blue bandaids at work, but now that I think about it, almost every restaurant I’ve worked at had blue bandaids 😂
To this day my mother refuses to go to Pizza Hut because there was a band-aid in the pizza. Even though this happened 30 years ago and 900 miles away from where she lives.
“you just bought all the food you were handling “
Bruh my brain is floating away slowly and my braincells are fading just like my memory at maths
I love Alex as a character but after so many movies... how can she still work at that bakery XD
Oh my gods, that is TRAGIC!😢
You think the blue ones are silly until this happens 😂

Please send him my love, and I send you some patience on dealing with him and customers.
Ksks
i feel like people don't know alex is just a general name representing a bunch of people who make these mistakes
Personally, I'd take my break to search for it. But im also ocd and the idea of not knowing what happened is sinply incomprehensible
Alex must have the best personality or he's the hottest Irishman ever
And this is why it's a rule in the states that if you are wearing a band-aid in food service you must wear a glove on that hand as well
Did ya notice Alex have blue hair net and Alice have pink hair net. This would be a great baby reveal 😂
Alex has to he Alices evil brother😂
if Alex can keep a job then I definitely can too
Our work only has the H shaped ones and i cant get them on with only one hand while my other is bleeding.
Next time I'm in a bakery I'm making sure they're no Alex's.
Is Alex a real person?
Also
Did this realy happen?
There was an episodeof Chef!(the uk comedy) that had that happen.
“They hit the second tower” is infinitely worse
Alex cannot possibly be a single employee can he?!
No, the right response is to start opening the baked goods one by one and keep going until you find it. Statistically, you have a 50% chance to spot it in the first half.

Alex stayed in this job for one year, that means we can do the same!
In the US, food service jobs require a glove over the bandage
Alex definitely should it be charged for having to throw away all that food for his stupidity. Don't employees need to wear gloves especially if they're wearing bandages on their hands
I would make him search his work area while keeping his be baking separate first. It's probably on the floor or in the sink.
Alex must be the best the best cakes in the world
That’s why you wear gloves when injured. Imagine getting blood in the food
Everyone's talking about Band Aid. I like the song, but it's a Christmas song and it's August now
i'd be so pissed if my plaster fell off while baking
"Hey you're really cute, wanna go out some time?"
He should be wearing a glove if he has a plaster/band-aid on
