Questions may be asked as to why you have not reported it when you knew they were in the wrong. I would cover your own back and write a report stating you have (try and remember dates/occasions etc) when you have spoken to them and its gone unheeded.

best to cover your own arse mate 🙂

you didn’t tell me this when i ate there :hopeless: .. lol .. but in all seriosness .. you did the right thing .. i used to work as a chef and i know how important this stuff is .. i have quit jobs because of the hygine in kitchens i have worked in b4 .. sadly alot of kitchens just dont give a fuck about this kind of stuff .. especialy when alot of the staff are getting paied minimum or close to minimum wage .. they them selves just dont give a crap .. tbh .. there is no point in warning them as all that will happen is they will get a warning to sought it out b4 a revisit .. that should give them the kick up the ass htey need .. if it is that bad .. they will get closed down untill they fix it .. but it has to be really .. and i meen really bad for them to do that .. and they will be able to reopen after ..i think they only shut kithens down perminently if they ignore the warnings given to them .. no wonder i got lost on the way back from uktek after that psycadelic colored burger you cooked me :laugh_at:

In Denmark we get health control (not sure about the name) visiting all places that serves food twice a year and they just turn up one day, so you really can’t just clean everything 2 days before they are supposed to come.

Never know when they’ll be there, so the hygiene in every places I have ever worked have been good.

Not sure if you use the smilie system in UK but we get a smilie
and the paper with the smilie have to be placed in the reception for all guests to see

You’ve done the right thing Star. If they lack the respect for their customers by ignoring hygiene protocols then they need to receive a complete bollocking.

If you warn them then the cycle will continue and someone will get ill. Personally I’d just sit back and watch the whole show go off! 😉

something as ‘simple’ as food poisoning (or flu etc)
can kill an elderly person / child who’s body isnt up to fighting it
if you can do something to improve this I think in this occasion it is ok to contact the health authorities –

the management should be keeping a clean kitchen as a matter of daily standard and they are at fault for not doing so –

I don’t know how it is there, but in the US, if health inspectors give an unfavorable review of a restaurant’s cleanliness and general condition, there’s typically a probation period for the the restaurant owners to clean everything up, fix any code violations, etc.

You shouldn’t feel like a snitch for calling this in. Regardless of your intentions, even if you had called the authorities out of spite, you’d still be doing something good for all the people who eat there and ultimately, you might be saving your friend the trouble of a lawsuit sometime down the road.

wait till you get food poisoning and then turn around and preach to people that they should cover up bad things that can fuck peaople up cos of some higher power called law of the “PLAY GROUND” MUG! :yakk:

IMO – it’s difficult being so black and white in your thinking if you think people are at risk though

the reason i feel so strong about it is i used to work as a chef .. so i know how imperitive it is to have good hygine .. and if there not listerning to starlaugh at the place he works .. then he has no other choise then to do what he did
