Is it true that those lemon wedges they put in water and tea are very dirty?
Now, I’m not a cook and I’m required by management to wear my hair in a bun, are health inspectors really allowed to wear virtually strapless tops? I would think every movement she made was a gross violation. If indeed, it isn’t allowed, who do you complain to when the health inspector is violating health codes?
There’s nothing that would prevent the employees from wearing this type of attire. Hair must be restrained and body hair must be covered. Clothes must be clean and no bare hand contact is allowed with ready-to-eat food. Other than that, any dress requirements are at the discretion of the restaurant management. Professionally, I don’t think any of us around here would wear anything like that. All inspectors in my office are males but if we had females, she would be sent home for showing up for work wearing spaghetti straps. We have to wear business attire but are allowed nice jeans on Friday.

The lemon slices are considered a ready-to-eat food. They are to be cut by an employee wearing gloves. They should also be washed prior to being cut. Neither one of those things happens with any regularity.
I’ll vouch for that. I’ve sliced a million lemons, never worn gloves and as far as I know, never washed a lemon, or sliced a lemon that had been washed. I do know that I’ve sliced my finger open a few times back in the day while slicing lemons. Open wounds were always a hazard when you had lemon slicing sidework.
Can I take a moment to comfort some folks? I am a server and I wash my hands about 15 times a shift and I spent a lot of time with sanitizing sprays. Chances are very good that I am far cleaner than you are.
