D.C., Maryland and Virginia health code violations

I found this disheartening.

Many of these Franchises are Reputable places, and i know a few people from these areas

who will probably appreciate knowing this. Have health standards dropped below par?

It sure is looking like it. The next time I go somewhere I'll be thinking of this.

Maybe taxes and insurance and wages are too high and they can't keep the places clean.

Horrible mis-management.

Probably yeah, the rodent problem is disturbing though.

Taxes & Insurance is an issue i agree. Reminds me of a few

Videos' over the years on youtube of people and why they

do to the food before serving it to their customers.

Makes me think twice about eating out anywhere, all I

will remember are stories like those.
