This is a poorly written article. Justification: 1. When clicking to see the report, it does not open immediately, mine is still loading since 30 minutes ago. An objective report puts reports in a readable format. This means the reporter is not interested in the reader actually reading the report. It took 45 minutes to open. 2. There is no explanation of the scale used: Does 100% mean that the restrooms are so clean that they shine, there are no spills, no cracks on walls/floors/or trim and zero build up and one could eat from the floor OR does it mean the restrooms do not have an overflow problem, has toilet paper, soap, warm water, and drying hands utensils/paper towels? 3. Risk type is not explained: What do 1, 2, and 3 mean? 4. As a customer, I would never eat at a location where no hot water is provided for washing hands everywhere and food temperatures are not above 140 F or less than 40 F. 5. The report does not educate the reader . . . it can educate the reader objectively without editing. As it is presented, it does not justify why the restaurants are still open or closed … Should the customer stop buying? If yes, then why? Why should the restaurant remain open? 6. This report should have been written when the follow up was completely reported (I am looking at the one with a score of 59). Not including the follow up is unfair to the restaurant since the restaurant was assessed as still operational. We the readers do not know if we should visit the restaurants or not, and it is because of incomplete journalistic reporting. The report has left more questions than relating a story, from beginning to end, completely. Sigh!!!!
Are you new here?
This is a regular feature of this blog. He simply reports the scores that each establishment got and provides a link to the full text of each inspection report. It isn’t a feature story meant to explain the county’s inspection criteria in detail or what the threshold is for ordering a restaurant to close. It’s not meant to “educate the reader” any more than reporting the final score of a baseball game is meant to be an overview of every players’ stats for the season. The purpose of the post is not to “justify why the restaurants are still open or closed.”
The full reports opened instantly for me. You might want to check some things on your end. Even if they hadn’t, that’s not under the author’s control and hardly could be taken to mean that “the reporter is not interested in the reader actually reading the report.”
“We the readers do not know if we should visit the restaurants or not, and it is because of incomplete journalistic reporting.” That’s a subjective matter and a decision you have to make for yourself. The author explains that a score below 70 out of 100 is failing. We’ve all probably eaten at restaurants that would fail a surprise health inspection on the day we were there. He’s providing the information, the reader has to decide what to do with it.
Follow-up scores don’t matter much, as they’re scheduled ahead of time. It’s like getting a high score on an open-book test that you already knew all the questions to.
Why are Rusan’s restaurants still open!? They are cited repeatedly for violations and I know multiple people (including myself) who have gotten food poisoning there. Nasty, nasty, nasty!!
