It looks super silly, but speaking as someone who had to do something similar at Taco Bell, yes, that really is what you’re supposed to do.
In my case, I was bending over to get sauce packets out of a box while someone else was trying to bag a Grilled Stuft Nacho, which was a horribly-designed product. The GSN slipped off their spatula and hit the floor and exploded in my face—and these products, if you’re not old enough to remember them, were full of both nacho cheese and sour cream that had just been heated up on the grill.
The only sink in the store low enough for me to bend over to rinse 180-degree nacho cheese out of my eyes was our handwashing sink, and this was in a tiny little niche big enough for one person.
So for the next two minutes, people in drive-thru were treated to the sight of my assistant manager and I pressed groin-to-ass with me bent over the sink, because it was the only way we could both fit so I could hold my eye open while she poured water over my face. I’m sure from behind it looked very silly and suggestive, but it certainly didn’t feel that way if you were one of the two of us at the sink. I was in pain and afraid because I didn’t know how much damage a burn could do to my eye. My ASM was worried because when someone screams and then yells “it’s in my eye” and goes running for the sink, and then yells “help me,” well.
So yeah! It looks ridiculous and porny in the video, but I guarantee in a real chemical spill that would be the last thing on these gentlemen’s minds.
If you are in a chemical spill, you want your clothes off NOW. Clothing and textile fibers will absorb and hang onto the chemicals and keep them pressed against your skin. Or they’ll have a reaction and do shit like heat up the metal or melt the plastic elements of your fasteners. You do not want that.
Clothes come off ASAP and if there is someone around, they should help you yeet the clothes.
