Honestly, some guy came in and let his barefooted child walk or sat all over counters. That is a flat out health code violation. Don't care the kid didn't have shoes on,
I was a general manager of a fast food restaurant. I was ripped for drains that weren't spotless, if the employee sink wasn't spotless.and bite me the hood over the grill hadn't been cleaned in the last week. The hood needed cleaning at least once a week because the wrong hood had been installed. My favorite was trying to get rid of flies, ripped. The health dept, hated my solution, but it worked; I always took that rip. It was less gross than the health department's answer
The OP, is correct, reporting the observations as seen Let us say the guy who brought his kid in wasn't a manager. I'm fairly certain that a kid hanging out on top or walking on counters is not acceptable according any decent restaurant rules,
Who cares about our rules/guidelines. A real customer would have used a phone and posted it on social media and probably has.
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning; the devil shudders...And yells OH #%*+! SHE'S AWAKE!
