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 makes the floor much easier to clean, and quick/easy cleaning is a huge priority in kitchens. Smooth, sealed tiles can be mopped up very quickly and don’t have nooks and crannies for food to get stuck in and rot – the texture that makes something less slippery does so by creating those nooks and crannies. Since stuff gets spilled all the time in kitchens, every surface is designed to be easy to quickly clean.
It does make it easier to slip, yes, but as you pointed out that can be easily fixed with the correct footwear, which is pretty much mandatory in every restaurant and kitchen for this reason.
