Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 19, 2014

But they don’t eat there!

WhatEver….Time to print up some health inspector cards…..

We wouldn’t have failed the inspection if not for that barkeep that spits in the glasses before wiping them down with the dirty rag.

Bruno, it could be worse…Like NEVER seeing an exterminator truck in the parking lot….

nice place to walk on by

But there are none. Deregulators eliminated them.

Reminds me of Carl Hiaasen’s newest book, “Bad Monkey”. Our hero is assigned to “rat patrol”. If you don’t know Hiaasen, hie thee to your nearest library. If you like humor, and you must, because you’re here, read his books. If you know anything about the (ahem) great state of Florida, read his books. Recommend you start with his early books, but it really doesn’t matter.(Carl, do you need my address to send the check?)

Good advice: Never enter an Asian resturant through the kitchen…

I usually go by one rule……if the smells coming from a resturaunt are good….50/50 chance the food will be good …..on the other hand if it smells bad on the outside the inside should be avoided!

It’s not a bribe, it’s a consulting fee.

Get a grip, psycho.

-In most states, restaurant inspections are the responsibility of either a state health department or a county health department. The federal government doesn’t usually inspect restaurants. It does (or once upon a time) did inspect mines, power generating plants and the like, and states are also supposed to be doing that. People in ‘right to work’ states know, however, that a lot of inspections come about because of a complaint about safety conditions filed by a union. No union, no inspection.-(Pile on, haters…..)

packratjohn speaketh the truth…No better read than Carl……Well, maybe Christopher Moore…But Hiaasen? Do yourself a big ol’ favor and pick one up. He’s right. It doesn’t matter which one….You’re probably going to read them all anyway, eventually……..

“Slime in the ICE MACHINE!!!”

Never work at a place you like to eat. My first job was at a Taco Time and sixteen years later I still haven’t gotten food from one. A friend in high school worked at Arby’s, he won’t touch their food. Ignorance is truly bliss.

I know I already commented but I have to admit after re reading this one…..are the free drinks offered before said inspection, during the inspection , or possibly after so the inspector forgets what he has seen?…..or in really bad cases maybe all three , before during and after.
