Places Not To Eat At !!!!!!!!!!

[Taylor Sims]

How many places can we think of not to eat at...... I suggest McDonald's. I ate there Friday and thanks to my $5.00 meal and drink I was sick for two days. I will not drink anymore fountain drinks cause I know the machines are not cleaned and it is no telling what you are getting with your Dr Pepper or Coke besides ice. I hope everyone has a great week and wonderful evening. Take care Hugs and Kisses TP*

So, you're telling us that projectile vomiting is NOT on your regular menu?

Seriously, I'd say that the appearance, management and location of any particular chain reataurant might have more to do with cleanliness issues than enything else.

Fountain drinks....I agree, but we do take alotta risks every day with getting these drinks at locations that may not clean their machines correctly. I don't like eating at buffets very much, especially the higher volume ones, where everybody handles the serving spoons.
<do you know their hands have been?>
I know that some restaraunts, the ice bunkers are cleaned once a week, but how often are our own icemakers cleaned at home? (I know that there are members here that do not have a permanant home, so we must trust others to do the cleaning)

Hope that you don't get sick again for a long time, *TP.

I hope nt either. That so true we never know where anyones hands has been. It like goin to eat at a resturant we dont bitch and we just eat if we do then no telling what happen to the food. When I worked at the nursing home and with food anytime in my life I have been picky person. I wont eat it I wont serve it. Have a great week. Later TP Hugs and Kisses

If people knew how dirty all restaurant's are they would not eat out.
The coke machine is not that bad if you went in the kitchen and looked around.
When a restaurant is going to be inspected the city will give them a weeks notice by saying they will be they the week of?, so the restaurant can half ass clean up before.

The other thing is you have all the cooks, bus staff, and waiter-waitress that don't wash very good after pissing and handling they dicks, or wiping there nasty old pussy's without wash there hands, and don't even ask about them taking a dump and not washing.

This goes on at ALL restaurant's and if you don't think it does then your heads in the sand.

I dont care if you go into a McDonald's, or a high dollar restaurant like Three Forks, you visit one of these restaurants when they are busy and you would be shocked at the condition of the kitchen. Any restaurant is only as good at the operator. As far as fountain drinks go, the drink system has to be cleaned on a regular basis, without a cleaning twice a week the system will not work. I worry more about the ice machine, nothing worse than "Slime in the ice machine" that comes from Marvin Zindler when he was in Houston.

I also worry more about the employees doing the serving as well as the dish washers. If a dish washer does not reach certain temperature, the dishes are not sanatised and thats bad news. Also watch how a table is clean, nothing worse than a dirty dish rag to clean a table. Also the cooler and freezer for the restaurant along with the proper food handling. Food handlers are supposed to wash their hands for twenty seconds, I dont think anyone does that. Instead a food handler will simply use a hand sanatiser, not good at all and this person is only spreading germs.

I suggest you stay home and cook. of course then you subject yourself to how clean the supermarket is where you bought your food. Is anyplace really safe?

As an engineer, I found myself responsible for maintenance one time at a plant where I worked. In the heat of the summer, our ice maker went out, and I called in maintenance from the manufacturer because I learned it wsa still under warranty. Service tech came out and fixed the problem, but then advised us that the ice maker was supposed to be serviced every 90 days to kill the bacteria growth. He opened up the unit, and the mold & crap growing in there would have killed your appetite for ice in your drink for a long, long time. I set up a 45 day maintenance on that ice machine immediately, wasn't anyway I wanted to wait 90 days. (The ice machine was over a year old and had never been cleaned before I took over.)
