It's ridiculous how long it took to shut that bakery down. Shiz like that needs to be dealt with ASAP. 3 strikes and you're shut down for a month. Shouldn't take someone's kidney to fail before they do something.

New York is like that too. (at least I think it was NY, maybe it was Philly). Either way, in one of those cities every restaraunt had a sign that had their last inspection score. I was a little worried when it wasn't over 90%.

Someone told me that they ordered a bowl of soup at a restaurant in China Town and as she was eating she noticed there was a funny looking noodle in the bowl, she pulled it out and it was a kleenex!! I've never forgot that story.

I'd think I'd rather have it as pass/fail. 10% feces still doesn't sound good.

California also has a rating system. It uses letter grades. The rating must be clearly shown.

Restaurants that get below "A" get there real quick, or else they shut down.

I was afraid it was one of the ones I go to so I asked the cute Korean girl in AP and she said it was next to the Lamda Supermarket on Centre Street and about 14th Ave NW.

The cooking smells in the building that day made me sick to my stomach. Glad I don't paint anymore, or eat meat.
Uhm, just as an aside here, but aren't you supposed to dispose of paint cans a different way?

Not according to the city of Calgary
Leave empty, dry paint cans with your household garbage for pick-up.

I think cans with paint in them still are a different story.

Oh, ok.

I wasn't insinuating anything, just to clarify, I was just asking because I didn't know. I figured it was like batteries or something, take em down to the firehall.

Hey- it never hurts to ask; that's what a discussion board is for.

Actually I was suprised- usually finding stuff on the city's website can be a pain.
