so, as a friend of mine said a few days back..sometimes you really do not want to know what goes on behind the scenes in restaurants. shocking, but true (to some extent). i would like to know what goes on behind the scenes…it will help me decide where to eat. a nice initiative has been started by vancouver coastal health (awesome job), which posts information about inspections to food establishments, information about license suspensions and the reasons as well as the length. enjoy…and read it with care.
on the same topic, i ended up in a ‘club’ on saturday. it’s called the crush champagne lounge, it’s on granville streets (with davie) in downtown vancouver. during my trips to use the facilities i ended up observing some rather disgusting behaviour. the ones involved, a bartender, a bus boy and a body-guard. each one of them on separate occasions. they used the facility, and simply walked out. yes, you got it…without washing their hands. now, i was about to essentially go and talk to someone about it…but eventually gave up (perhaps next time). however, the next day i did email the manager of the establishment and shared my opinion about…their lack of training about personal hygiene, about the fact that they are putting their customers’ health at risk, it’s disgusting, and more. i truly wonder if they don’t spent time training their staff about this…i wonder how good they train their staff about other aspects of health and safety.
the manager did reply, within 10 minutes, to my email…and did state he will bring this up to the next meeting. also he made sure to mention that there are 3 sinks (with soap) and a hand sanitizer behind the bar (sure, awesome…completely useless if they are not used). however, it was appreciated that he did pay attention, was polite and did respond.
however, quite disgusting knowing they do not wash their hands…serve drinks…and essentially serve you…so keep your eyes open…and don’t be afraid to complain.
