Surprise health inspection of a restaurant


Steve : Hi, you must be Adrienne Stark. I'm Steve Anderson from the health Department and I'm here to inspect your restaurant.

Adrienne : Oh, I didn't know you would be coming today! Can you come back tomorrow?

Steve : No, I can't The whole point of a surprise inspection is to keep restaurant owners on their toes and ensure that they keep their restaurants clean and safe at all times.

Adrienne : I understand. It's just that we got a shipment this morning and we're still emptying boxes. What will you be looking at?

Steve : I'll take the shipment into consideration. But I'll be looking at the whole ball of wax- the proper storage of food, clean surfaces, everything. Hmm..it looks like you're keeping raw chicken and lettuce in the same refrigerator drawer.

Adrienne : We'll fix that now. To be on the safe side, I'll throw away the lettuce because of cross-contamination.

Steve : Yeah, please get on that right away. I see some broken glass in the corner. I assume that just happened during the lunch rush and it will be cleaned up soon?

Adrienne : Oh, definitely. (speaking to another employee) Hey Frank, can you please clean up that glass right now?

Steve : I'll just be checking out your dining area and your restrooms and then I'll be on my way. The restrooms are the Achilles heel of most restaurants.

Adrienne : Great. I know you won't be disappointed because I'm very particular about making a good first impression on my guest.

Steve : Overall, I'm really impressed. If more more restaurants were as conscious about cleanliness as you are, my job would be a lot easier.
