Marcus tapped the screen. He’d been a sanitation lead at the Sunrise Bakery for eleven years, and he still didn’t trust anything that couldn’t get its hands dirty. But the new Ecolab Soil Away controller was his reluctant religion.
The overnight crew groaned. “Boss, it’s just a speck. We’ll never hit the deadline.”
But tonight, the eyes lied.
He smiled, wiped down the stainless steel panel, and clocked out for the weekend. The little green light stayed on, watching over the empty bakery, keeping the ghosts of burnt sugar and old dough exactly where they belonged.
