I know we've all seen gross stuff during gas station audits/shops, but....

.....I think this takes the cake.

As if two uncovered buckets full of meat for the Monday lunch rush weren't bad enough, they were sitting RIGHT OUTSIDE the doors to the men's and women's restrooms.

Oh, Podunk. Just when I think I've seen it all, you say, "Oh girrrlllllll, you ain't seen nothin' yet."

Her, mav, HER! -lol- The toilet was black - they must have chosen that color to help hide the dirt.

Not that I could tell, but the cattle out back were huddled together, and I swear I heard one say in a hushed voice, "Hey, did y'all hear? They got Herbert...."

can I ask if you sent that with the report?
I might also be inclined to send a time/date stamped photo to the county health dept.

Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.

I recently sent a photo of chickens running around the fueling area of an urban Circle K.

Indeed, I did. I hope the powers that be at Chevron are disgusted when they see it, but let's be honest, they may not even pay attention to what we submit. Or the editor may remove it before sending it along.

I would, if the county had a health department. If that's not bad enough, the store is in an unincorporated part of the county where cattle probably outnumber people 3 to 1. I made some calls to the state health department and other county departments, but this is likely a low priority.

They wouldn't last long around that store I was in. Tuesday's special is chicken.

Mike Rowe did an episode of Dirty Jobs once where he helped a company called Chicken Busters try to round up an insane number of chickens living on the streets of Miami. Gives new meaning to the term free range. -lol-

Looks like they're trying to...brine beef ribs or something? That's weird. At least use lids.

Update: I got a call this morning from the state health department. They said they would send an inspector over there. Yay.

I went to a grocery store after an extended power outage once. Lots of empty freezer and refrigerator cabinets. But the worst part was the the whole back half of the store smelled like rotting flesh. They'd clearly thrown everything that was unsafe to consume into the dumpster and it was 90-some degrees. The garbage truck hadn't arrived to retrieve it so having the delivery door open to receive the replacement merchandise resulted in an extremely unpleasant situation.
