We see things wrong, against regulations and unhealthy at almost every restaurant and supermarket we go to. The Health departments do not do a good enough job. Restaurants and supermarkets do not do a good enough job. If you see something wrong, something dirty, something that would cross contaminate and cause an unhealthy situation, SPEAK UP, COMPLAIN, SAY SOMETHING ON THE SPOT.
Former policy that used common sense, is no longer policy in Fulton County.
Does it bother you when a restaurant places silverware right onto a table?
It used to be against Fulton County Health Dept. regulations!
But now it is ok again. So many restaurants do it every day!
I think it lacks common sense to put silverware that is about to go into my mouth directly onto a table. I think it is a dirty practice.
