Homemade is Overrated

The terms Homemade and Made By Hand are both extremely overrated to me. I was in a small bakery where the owners took great pride in the signs outside advertising their Homemade and Made By Hand items.

I was investigating an accident and so I was taking an employee’s statement from inside of the Employee Break Room and looking out of a window that you see the area where they do the preparations and the baking.

One of the employees was wearing a tank top with no sleeves. He was mixing dough with his bare hands. It looked like it was enough dough to make at least a dozen loaves of bread or more. He did not have any plastic gloves on.

I saw him take a huge handful of dough in his right hand and patted in under his left arm pit like it was a big powder puff and then put it back with the rest of the dough. He mixed it a little bit more, and then he took another huge handful of dough in his left hand and patted in under his right arm pit like it was a big powder puff and then put it back with the rest of the dough.

He wasn’t finished bathing in the dough yet. He continued to mix the dough and took another huge handful and rubbed the dough behind his neck and then put it back with the rest of the dough and kept on mixing.

I was born in an age of high technology. So rather than all of that Homemade and Made By Hand stuff, I prefer to just to throw everything into a clean sanitary machine and turn on the power switch.
