We used to really enjoy when the published report came out.
Do they still do that?
Seems like Taco Grande 23rd was always towards the bottom. I went to work there once to try to straighten things out for the lady. The inspector came by on another shift, and I learned the things they had normally done, but weren't supposed to do.
Their old soda station didn't have a “water” option, so to speed service up, they kept a regular Tupperware pitcher of water sitting with no top on the counter by the drinks, They would ice a cup, and pour in room temp water. Dept said it needed to be covered and refrigerated at all times.
Another fault was beans.
You know, the large food trays in a warming unit, that have the flip covers. They bring out a pan of ingrediants, it sits there until empty, then another one is brought out front.
One, the pans are always to be covered when not being used at that second.
Two, refried beans dry out at time goes on over heat. (Or no heat too) They would add more water to the beans and stir. Unheated water to barely warm beans. The dept said no water could be added. Not even if it was boiling. They expected a nearly whole pan to be tossed out if necessary.
You can bet that rule was ignored the minute the inspector left, but some others were followed. The main problem was insubordination. Some kids thinking they were more important than the mgr's words, and they got away with everything when she wasn't right there. She was a trusting soul, blinded by kind words of manipulative kids.

Quintons is pretty disgusting too. They wipe their spatulas on the trash can to clean them. The exhaust duct in the kitchen is broken, so the whole kitchen fills with nasty smoke. The meat counter is never at the right temperature, always too warm. Fruit flies everywhere and rotting food in the refrigerators.

We got tickled and disgusted once many years ago at Buffalo Bobs. One of us ordered potato salad. It comes in a very small bowl, that had been covered in saran wrap. (I've seen the glass door frid those were kept in, visible to the public at the time.)
The waitress had to open the door, look in, grab the bowl, look at it to remove the wrapper, set in one her tray, carry it and serve it by hand to the table.
She never even noticed it was totally grown over with moldy hairy fuzz!

I'd like to second Quinton's. If you look back there, the floor is just concrete, waters dripping everywhere, the walls are disgusting, bugs of all sorts. Lets not forget about the habit of the bartenders to piss into the drain in the kitchen so they don't have to go to the bathroom. Nothing is ever clean, anything that is even attempted to be cleaned is done in the most half ass manner you can imagine. It's amazing that place hasn't gotten a citation.

Will the city inspectors be using the “empTy” to do their duties? If not, why not? Think of all the dollars the city can save! In fact, all city employees should be required to use the “empTy.”

Times up! Because for city employees like the vast majority of Lawrencian's, the “empTy” is a huge waste of time and driving a car is much more cost effective, productive, and dependable. As a bonus modern cars with a single rider are better for the environment unless they are close to full, which I have never personally seen, use less fossil fuel per passenger mile than any of the current “empTy” buses. The only good thing I can say about “empTy” is that it doesn't use ethanol and is not starving a third world nation.
