So, this is revolting.
A vendor at Minute Maid Park, the home of the Houston Astros, has been fired after a fan caught him on film putting a tray of about-to-be-sold snow cones on the bathroom floor.
ARAMARK, the company that provides food services at the park, has referred to this as an isolated incident, The Associated Press reports.
One would sure hope so.
There has always been some sort of unwritten understanding that ballpark food probably isn’t of the highest possible quality, but putting snow cones on a bathroom floor (of a stadium, no less) certainly breaches that code.
Perhaps there should be an official ballpark food and beverage rule book created. Fans agree to pay way too much for light beer and way-too-salty pretzels, and in exchange, the vendors don’t bring the food they’re about to sell into the facilities with them as they do their business.
Deal? Deal.
Stick to hot dogs and beer for now, Houston. You don’t know what’s in the snow cones.
