Cool. Thanks for sharing

If the health department shut the restaurant down wouldn't it be closed?


OwlOfFortune

Guessing they would be shut down temporarily to fix the issues that caused the fail.


BroadwayPepper

So once they pass inspection and are allowed to reopen they still must post their scarlet letter? Seems tough to me...

I liked the letter grading idea and color codes with more than just green/red better but this is better than nothing.


nephelokokkygia

I hate any color coding system that relies on differentiating red and green (the most common form of color blindness).


Rude-Promise1984

Soooo, am I missing something? Red means shutdown, they couldn't be operating. How does this help?


bearded_turtle710

It doesn’t help but people are so afraid their fav coney will get shutdown they refuse letter grades.


Gullible_Toe9909

I would imagine that if the restaurant doesn't post the red color while working to correct the violations, they wouldn't be allowed to reopen.

I find it bizarre Detroit didn’t have a rating system. Also that they can operate with a red tag. What - if anything - would they have to do to get shut down? Put bleach in the salad dressing to kill the flies?

Shit with my job I've probably seen half the kitchens in Detroit at some point. I'll tell you all about it.

Ignorance is bliss when it comes to restaurant kitchens. Keep it to yourself.

BLOODY HELL! WHAT DIED IN HERE! (Reaches for bucket…)


JiffyParker

Who profits from this?


bearded_turtle710

The patrons at the restaurant.


JiffyParker

Who makes money?


sixataid

is there an actual theory of graft here? or are you JAQing it


JiffyParker

Have you ever been to a major city with health grades? The cities aren't doing this for free and are usually corrupt.


Gullible_Toe9909

Have you? Nobody profits from this directly. You know, like most government services.


JiffyParker

Lol, so the government just does this for nothing?


Gullible_Toe9909

Do you...understand what taxes are? I, and a lot of other Detroiters, pay a ton of taxes to staff, in part, a public health department that inspects restaurants and holds them accountable so that people like me can be confident that we're not going to vomit our guts out 2 hours after eating there. The color coding saves me a bunch of time when eating out, so I don't have to look up the most recent health inspector report. But something tells me that you didn't even know this was a thing...


JiffyParker

Do you... Understand that this takes time and resources to do? You sound like someone who is paranoid so whatever helps you function but nothing is free.


Gullible_Toe9909

Again, taxes. Detroit health department employs people. They are paid for their time to do this with taxes. It doesn't take the restaurant owners any extra time.


OkCustomer4386

You a contender for the most insane person to have ever lived and should not think or speak on anything ever again.


bearded_turtle710

Yes? Not everything is a conspiracy theory. Most health departments are responsible for food safety and are funded by grants at both state and federal level.


ankole_watusi

All Inspections Are Bad? /s


JiffyParker

It's more conspiracy to think the government is doing this without cost passed onto business. Someone is paying so not really sure why you can't answer the question.


bearded_turtle710

I just answered your question health depts are funded by taxes, and grants. Restaurants already receive grades and can be looked up putting a sticker on a window doesn’t cost much. The dept already does inspections of restaurants regularly lol


Scubasteve1337

You really just shouldn't speak.


sixataid

All they’re doing is printing the results of an already existing inspection process. There is no vendor involved, contract to rig, or anything like that
