bad weggies!

I do not seriously consider the quality of a mobile phone's camera when I'm shopping for one. It is a phone and I use it to talk. That having been said, if a phone should come with a camera, it would be nice if it were halfway decent. The camera on my Sony Ericsson T616 sucks balls. But that is not why you came here today.

This is a document hanging up at the entrance to the Amherst St Wegmans. You cannot read it here because my phone's camera sucks, but at the top it says 'NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH - INSPECTION - 6/23/07.' It is hanging up with all kinds of other boring paperwork, like their beer & wine license, and the building's rated maximum capacity, and like the minimum wage laws and employee of the month. Boring.

Except-

what is that checkmarked box labeled? You cannot read it here because, once again, my phone's camera sucks, but it says 'CRITICAL DEFICIENCIES.' [The other options were 'this establishment is in compliance...' and 'critical deficiencies which have been addressed...']

Ya.

    huh.


    btw, according to NYS, "critical deficiencies" is defined as posing an "immediate" threat to
    public health.

    thanks Weggies.

    Nice, as yet another chain store comes to the city and promptly quits giving a shit, or wiping up after one....

    I thought it was a bit strange that much of their produce was missing. Also there were lots of people walking around with t-shirts that said "cleaning team" or something like that. I kinda wished I had seen that notice prior to walking in and shopping.

    I will admit that I don't have knowledge of what that means and in my Wilson Farm days I was never a manager. But for some reason I think I might know what that means. It means that when they where inspected that there was some kind of problem. What I'm not sure of is if it means that they have been told of the problem and that they are fixing it. Or if it means that they where inspected again and the problem was fixed. I think that it is the second one but I'm not sure. The thing to do is to go up and ask for a manager and get the story from them. I wonder if there is a way to research that online somehow.

    The Food Inspection database is down; nevertheless, I sent an email to the guy, asking for more information. 'Critical deficiencies' in a facility that big could really be anything.

    I still bought some produce and raw fish there. I guess I just live dangerously.
