Ironically when I worked in a deli, we actually were told the dates the health inspector would turn up. You can imagine the day before was spent cleaning and scrubbing!
- brigandish 6y agoAs your example shows, it's not such a bad thing to announce measures because they can have the side effect of raising standards. Used alongside the odd random visit I would imagine this to be incredibly effective.
- Supermancho 6y agoThat's not what the example "shows". The standards aren't raised, but lowered. First, let's just agree on some terminology health codes are the "standard". If you only clean before an inspector arrives (and you are sure that that's the only time to do so) your standard is lower on average over periods of time or altogether, depending on the offense. If you don't know when the inspector is going to arrive, you are incentivized to keep to the code at all times, which is the reason you aren't supposed to know.
