Food Establishment Closures - as of May 29th

[Some dude]

wow, some of those places got closed down for over a week! Way to teach them a lesson, health inspectors! They'll clean up their act for sure.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

The whole reason for the closures is so that they DO clean up their act. The ones that were closed for a week took that long to actually get their establishments up to code. The ones that were closed for a day didn't take so much.

Why would they close them for sanitary/health code reasons and then let them reopen without fixing what was wrong?

If you're not being sarcastic, nvm.

Was sarcasm. If there's no real punishment, what's the motivation to keep the place clean year round? Just fix whatever little things the inspector busted you for and go back to serving rat-crap soup.

So what do you suggest? Have them closed for longer? What fucking good is that for anybody... it'll just make sure that everybody that works there is unemployed for x amount of time, meaning they'll all have to get new jobs (including the owners) and then the restaurant is essentially dead in the water because they'll have to re-staff, and likely by the time they reopen the owners would have liquidated so they could, you know, eat.

You make no sense. Shut them down UNTIL THEY MEET CODE. Once they meet code then they're considered safe to work at, why keep them shut down?

Also, and this is just guessing, but closures are not the only thing that the governments are limited to when enforcing this type of stuff. They can still do things like:

- probationary periods wherein health inspectors make regular visits to ensure that the adjustments made to adhere to the code are maintained
- fines (duh)
- negative p.r. associated with having a closure - even for a day - would seriously hurt the restaurant's reputation and as such you're looking at decreased clientelle (just go ahead and ask how many people would go to The Foundation after their Hep scare)

Your solution - extended closures - make no sense when you take into account that there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RESTAURANTS at the time of the reopening, at least in the eyes of the health code (the same code that decided that they needed to close in the first place). All it serves is to run the business into the ground, which is NOT what the health code exists to do.

So how about something constructive instead of just snide sarcasm with no real point? Oh, no wait, you're just a troll, that's all you know how to do.

EDIT: HEY MYLES
Can you please get rid of the "P.R." filter on this site? I don't know how many times I've tried to say "Public Relations" that it's been changed to "Page Ranking".

agreed. shutting the place down isnt supposed to be a punishment nor a deterrent. a week is more than enough time to bring a place up to code, in most cases. unless their floor/roof is rotten or something.
