PSA: My old boss told me to ignore the grease trap maintenance schedule at a new diner job
He said the monthly pump-out was a waste of money and to just wait until it smelled. Six months into the lease, the entire line from the kitchen to the main backed up on a Saturday night. The emergency call plus the city fine for the violation was over $2,500. The health inspector showed up Monday morning because of the smell complaint from next door. Now I set a calendar alert for the 15th of every month without fail. Anyone else get burned by skipping trap service?

Wow, that's a real "save a penny, lose a pound" situation.

Honestly @emma_rodriguez34, reminds me of the time I bought cheap tires and then spent way more on a tow.

Man, that's the worst kind of short-term thinking. It's like not changing your car's oil to save fifty bucks and then blowing the whole engine. I've seen the same thing with landlords skipping small repairs. They ignore a tiny roof leak to avoid a few hundred now, and then a whole ceiling collapses from water damage, costing thousands. That "wait until it breaks" plan almost always costs way more in the end.
