I’ve worked in fast food for probably 3 years or so, and i’ve always wondered why the kitchens are so slippery? It seems so weird to me that I have to get special shoes to be able to walk in a kitchen

It’s about cleaning. Kitchens are messy places – spills happen often, and if they’re not cleaned up quickly, they create an unsanitary condition, they smell, they can create a worse slipping hazard, etc. And a hard, smooth surface is easy to clean – you can quickly run a mop along for spot cleaning, and easily do more thorough cleaning when it’s time to close up. The consequence is that it’s a bit more slippery for people.
It’s much easier to require employees to wear non-slip shoes and have an easy-to-clean kitchen, than to have a less slippery kitchen that’s difficult to clean. The pros outweigh the cons.
