To be fair this is a good idea underdeveloped countries as canned drinks in storage are usually contaminated externally with rat shit.
This is true of warehouses everywhere, not just ones in underdeveloped countries. Developed countries just usually have a higher turnover and distribution closer to production sources, so they sit in storage for less time.
I've worked at a few warehouses picking orders and I second this. At least in the US health and building codes require rodent traps and inspections happen regularly. While I'm sure infestations happen businesses that want to stay open follow the law and get pests under control.
It's amusing seeing people who clearly haven't spent time in warehouses tell internet strangers that warehouses have rats.
A single rat sighting inside a US food-grade warehouse is a serious event.
I’ve personally tasked people to chase around a bird and shove it out the door for 2 hours because you can’t just allow it to exist.
Wow, in other manufacturing I’ve had to call something “biologically contaminated” to mean that the bird infestation in the warehouse is out of control but we can’t convince anyone to pay to fix it
Did they kill it when it was out the door or did they just allow it to exist?
The deed was done and it deserved its fate
Ha! I was picturing a dollar general when I wrote that. The last time I was in a major warehouse it was also for a discount reseller.
Are you sure it wasn't just a regular dollar general
The John Oliver piece on them was the first look I'd had at them in twenty years, absolutely baffling, and just pure neoliberalism in action.
Do you drink the soda by pouring it over its outer hide?
Do you drink the soda with gloves and by holding it 5 cm from your lips? Exactly like this you also don't just clean the upside of a dish or the usable part of knives, forks etc.

You somehow forgot a whole word. How the fuck does that even happen?
Among many, many other far simpler explanations, it's pretty common for people with ADHD.
You somehow managed to focus on the only unimportant part of what they said. How the fuck does that even happen?
How even notice there's a missing word?
