The Elephant and the Trouble Brewing
I’ve received a copy of Café Driade’s latest health inspection. Take a look — the place always seemed kind of like a dive, but I chalked that up to their cultivated atmosphere of bohemian disaffection. I never thought they were actually unsanitary. Now I have to ask myself, should my coffee be that brown?

Health inspectors cited nine violations at Café Driade. Among the more egregious notes in the inspection report: |
|
|
Violations: |
“Handwashing is not being done, or if it is being done, it is being accomplished in the utensil sink — which is not allowed. Handwashing must be done after using the bathroom, handling money, or when hands are contaminated.” |
|
“No surface sanitizer is available … The juicer is not cleaned and needs a thorough cleaning.” |
|
|
“Dairy products must be held cold at a cold temperature — 45 degrees F or below.” |
|
|
“Remove any standing water outside. Remove old equipment from outside. Remove or repair all cans, buckets, and driveway ruts to prevent standing water.” |
|
|
“Counters need repair … Clean all surfaces!” |
|
You may be a coffee shop, Driade, but you still need to have basic hygiene. You’re not washing your hands? After the bathroom? Just skip the extra steps and crap directly in my coffee cup, why don’t you?
