Then this is the article for you.

These stories, propelled into the public eye via various media outlets, all of which are failing to ask the one question they need to pose in order to write a comprehensive article: WHERE ARE THE INSPECTORS?

Restaurants , historically, have never been expected to police themselves. This is the reason food handling professionals must be certified. Someone, with a least a modicum of knowledge pertaining to the proper handling of foods, is required to be a part of the food handling process as well and reliably available to oversee the handling of perishables.

Common pitfalls include the preparation of food hours before consumption without proper temperature control, inadequate cooking or reheating, cross-contamination, and poor personal hygiene among food handlers.

Such lack of attention to even the most basic food handling rules and regulations can [and has] led to serious health risks — not the least of which is causing the rise in food borne illnesses now being reported nationwide.

This, of course should only be emphasizing the importance of strict adherence to food safety guidelines to prevent foodborne illnesses. and, yet, the numbers only continue to rise.

Incredibly, most of these stories fail to even mention the number of safeguards that must have been ignored in order for these types of issues to exist.

Who, at each restaurant, is not doing their job and when will they be replaced? How are they passing the regular inspections required by law that involves a county food service professional to actually visit the site and inspect each restaurant? If so, how could they miss these egregious violations?

Some of the incidents cited in the first articles posted here are the direct result of equipment NEVER having been properly cleaned.

These do not appear to be isolated instances of gross violations. They involve large chains owned by giant corporations. How, for instance, can McDonald’s ice cream machines have escaped inspection?

Golden Corral franchise groups have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, reportedly due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic closures and a drop in sales¹². The largest franchise group, 1069 Restaurant Group LLC, and another franchisee, Platinum Corral, are among those affected¹².

The issues plaguing Golden Corral began years ago and, as difficult as it is to sink a giant ship the size of Golden Corral, it was almost impossible to avoid the downhill trajectory set in motion by filthy restaurants, classless clients that caused public incidents and a lack of disregard for the end user.

The ‘writing was on the wall’ for Golden Corral: but, for all intents and purposes, they seemed to choose to ignore it. For years people had denigrated the chain for everything from rotting food to most of the infringements typical of ‘bad’ food establishments. Cheap food has always had its share of the market — but even that can lose its lustre when health standards fail to be maintained.

The Untold Truth Of Golden Corral

I went to Golden Corral, picked up grapes from the cold food section and set about eating my meal. The grapes were so full of pesticides they were inedible. Thinking I was helping, I spoke quietly with a manager — who told me if I didn’t like the food there, I was free to stay away.

Thankfully, that location was closed within the year. Bad management is the kiss of death.

Rising costs have resulted in the typical ‘drive through run’ costing as much as a routine ‘sit-down’ meal.

Jack in the Box has been widely panned for everything from charging exorbitant prices for simple items to intentionally misleading consumers.

Why So Many People Can’t Stand Jack In The Box

The Real Reason Jack In The Box Nearly Went Bankrupt

I went to a JITB drive through and THEY ACTUALLY UPCHARGED ME for asking to hold the meat and give me a simple egg and cheese croissant. I’m being financially penalized for avoiding meat? WHO DOES THAT?? I wound up having to buy them with meat on the side to get a remotely fair price. The worst part is a lot of people are running through the drive through and won’t notice they’re getting scammed.

Of 218 certifiable reviews [as of this writing], JITB get’s a lousy 1-1/2 stars. That’s overwhelmingly poor by anyone’s standards. If you’re an investor, you might consider looking at better odds. Jack In the Box Reviews (Written By Customers)

They tried to upcharge me [read: CHEAT me] on a couple of cups of coffee — then pretended it was a mistake — and they made it virtually impossible to get a drink of even the worst tap water. I wound up going across the street to HUMAN BEAN, got great service with a smile — happily spent more than I would have at JITB and left thinking I’ll never go to JITB again. SHAME on Jack in the Box. I’m DONE.
