I work in a restaurant and we have a rule about food that drops on the floor. If it hits the floor we throw it away. A lot of us think this is a stupid wasteful rule and use the food anyway as long as we think this is clean. Our manager fired a cook the other day for putting a steak on the grill after he dropped it on the floor/ how can we convince the manager that he made the wrong decision?

It is not uncommon for some employees to disagree with management decisions. In this situation, it is possible that the manager has rules set in place to reduce food safety risks and increase legal protection for the restaurant.

The best way to address this situation would be to have an open conversation with management explaining why employees believe the rule should be changed and discuss what steps can be taken to better ensure that safe food practices are in place.

You cannot convince the manager that he made the wrong decision since it is company policy to throw away food that has been dropped on the floor. Your best bet is to find a way to follow the policy but reduce waste by finding alternative uses for food that could not be sold or served due to dropping on the floor.
