You know that I work for a textile rental company. We rent uniforms, linens, floor mats etc to various types of customers.
Many of our customers are restaurants. They rent our tablecloths and napkins. When the dirty come back to us, quite often we find that which is pictured in the Wordless Wednesday photo!
You name it, we get it....
We get that much silverware.
We get dirty dishes.
We get remote controls.
We salt and pepper shakers.
Every so often the company owner will go thru this and sort the silverware. Some customers pay a small price for it to be returned to them. But, many others don't! Once a month, this lady has a "garage sale" at our old plant where items that are not good enough to be used for rental customers are sold. Now, these items are still in decent shape. She'll sell a pair of work pants for $1.00 and shirts for $.50. Very good items for working in the garden etc. So this silverware will go in the garage sale. She makes money on it even though she sells it for cheap.
What you see on the table, that is just a portion of what we had. Before I took the pic, she took several boxes packed full over to the garage sale building.
Here are some close ups of areas on the table:
In a nutshell, this is what happens to restaurant silverware. It gets pitched in with the linens and they don't want it back! No wonder why some restaurants charge so much for the meals!?!?!?!??
