I'm assuming that too, but there's still a difference between being dirty and sitting, even with the 'clean' ones, and being dirty and getting used. Shouldn't happen but also isn't horrible.

Generally not a violation, or at least a critical one. Depends on the area. Garbages should be enclosed as to not attract pests but it's hardly a restaurant violation.

Depends on how long they sit for. AHS can walk in and see them sitting there, even if they've only been there for 1 minute, and make a violation of it. Only a problem if it's 4+ hours.

Another one that's so up to the discretion of the inspector that I take it with a grain of salt. Someone could have been cutting meat, and still just been cutting meat, and the inspector could look at that and say "well if he were to go cook fresh food now their would be cross contamination" even if that cook wasn't going to go anywhere.

No arguments here. Just one of those things that's so up to the discretion of the inspector. They could have been sitting dirty for the entire day, or they could have just been finished being used and weren't clean yet.

Violation yes, but not a huge one like suggested in the article. Buckets aren't 100% necessary if they use sanitzer in spray bottles instead. Shouldn't be left balled up on the counter regardless, but the severity is overblown.
