Dirty Restrooms in Restaurants.......what can we do..about it...?

Question

I went to a restaurants and had to use the restroom...oh my Goodness...it was so dirty.........I had to walk out ot the place...I won't ever go there again...doesn't the city check up on places..? It was a Chinese place...

Answer 1

Health inspections, at least in Spokane, are scheduled. Between your annual or twice-annual inspections, there's no guarantee what you'll find lurking in those tiled rooms of horror.

I had to take a cousin into the bathroom. I was tempted to have him wait outside while I crafted a blow-torch to fully sanitize the latrine before letting him in.

The only tip I can give is keep a bottle of hand sanitizer on you. That stuff will save your life.

Answer 2

Avoid them!

Answer 3

As disgusting as the place was, remember part of the problem is the amount of traffic through that restroom.  The more people going there, the more sloppy they behave.  I'd speak to the manager, owner, and then to the health department.  If nobody does anything about it, how about every restaurant's nightmare?  --The local investigative news team!

Answer 4

Yes, Call your local health department and report it. They'll check it out and make them clean it up or shut them down! Have a few friends call and report the same too!

Answer 5

The board of health is probably there once a year. Always remember, if the bathrooms are dirty, then the kitchen is. Call the board of health, in your phone book. And call the restaurant to complain. I don't know how the Chinese people are. I work in a restaurant, and they are cleaned twice a day. And of course, us waitresses check too when we're in there. And guess who cleans the bathrooms? The dishwasher. Washing dishes and cleaning bathrooms, just doesn't seem right does it? But our dishwashers are clean people who do wash. Yes, we do watch them. They know.

It's amazing how people make a mess of the bathrooms too. One time a lady had diaerha, and she never told us. How she managed to make such a mess. I mean, if nothing else, have the courtesy to tell us before you leave FOR THE LAST TIME. I know there are physical problems of people, but still, they should still tell us.

Answer 6

Complain to the manager, and mention that you won't be back.

Answer 7

Some places aren't as stringent as others, may be the local health department is lazy too. They always say if the bathrooms are filthy you can bet the kitchen is too

Answer 8

ASK TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER AND REPORT IT THE HEALTH DEPT. THE PEOPLE COOKING ARE USING THAT BATHROOM. YUK

Answer 9

Tell the manager and ask the health inspector to visit them.

Answer 10

Because other people used it. Some people don't have manners.

Answer 11

You could file a complaint with the BBB. They take complaints very seriously and make sure that every complaint is looked into.

Answer 12

We sure can't clean it, I would tell them about it.

Answer 13

Yes, the city has mandates about restaurant cleanliness. You can call your local public department of health.

They set the mandates and can shut down establishments if the requirements are not met.
