HEALTH INSPECTOR

Well fuck! I was at work today and a health inspector came in. I had a small ramekin of soup in my hand and was not eating it. I was standing in the hallway outside of the kitchen. He immediately asked for my license. He recorded it. He left and the KM told me I need to be there tomorrow to sign something like a ticket of some kind.
I have been in the restaurant biz for 29 years and I have never seen this happen to anyone! Does anyone know what the fine might be? Can I dispute it with him before I sign whatever it is? Has this happened to anyone?

So I got a ticket which he claims is akin to a traffic ticket. I do not know the amount nor would he tell me. Said it could be anywhere between 1-2000.00. I have to wait until Monday morning to find any more info out. He would not back down on it. He also said he does not mind going to court. I have 29 years in the biz and have NEVER seen this happen to anyone! *SIGH* What a fucked way to start the year. I will no longer be working in the biz after July at the latest (that's the plan anyway). I have an active LPN license and will be putting it to use after my deadline to take the NCLEX RN in May.

LOL, Sorry did not consider people not knowing the official name of those little 2-4oz cups that hold to go sauces/dressings/spices. It has maybe 2-3 teaspoons of holding capacity. I had a plastic to go one, very small.

So why exactly was it a violation to do what you were doing?

He claimed he saw me "eating in the kitchen" but I was in an area just outside the kitchen in a small hallway where the soda fountain and some dry storage is. It is illegal for an employee to be eating or have any drinks hanging around the kitchen area. He was really just being a dick about the whole thing. My manager said he could have given me a warning. I am going to court and telling the truth. I was not eating what I had in my hand, and he did not see me eating it. I threw it away as soon as he asked for my license. I told him to his face that he did not see me eating either. He asked me "then what were you doing with it, with a spoon?" I told him I was looking at the content of it for a guest, quality control you know!

Lulz at the nazi health inspector. What a poon! I've worked in the biz for 6 years now and my GFs parents own a big restaraunt and have seen them do some stupid shit. They get all big-headed like a 10 year old who is a handed a police badge. I say fight it. If you weren't in the kitchen you weren't in the kitchen! Have any blue prints of the restaraunt? You can show him that you weren't in area labeled the kicthen. Also what about cameras? Any way to prove you weren't in there?

What a fucking douche. When you meet people like that, you just know they were picked on hardcore in highschool. Fight it though man, I hope you win. Either way just know that guy has most likely never had any friends.

Also that health inspector sounds like a total douche, it's pretty common for that kinda shit to go down in a kitchen and honestly what you did ain't shit compared to the horrors that are committed by a lot of other employees in soooo many other kitchens around the world.

Fight it. I would absolutely hate to eat from a kitchen where the cooks are not tasting there food. Not many kitchens I've worked in where this is not common practice.

Fuck that. Dont pay it, you didnt do a damn thing wrong. Don't submit to these assholes. Health inspectors get their jollies off to this kind of thing, even though they have an important job, they stretch it as far as they can. I'm sure he couldve walked around and found a ton of other violations that were actually more harmful to the public than you standing there with food in your hand.

Hahaha... Whenever I used to work food, I worked for this Turkish guy and you could see the stress on his face when the health inspector would drop by.
Hilarious. Never heard of them writing personal tickets?
