Re: (...)
Just as we were pushing lunch out, in she walks! Thought she'd pay us s visit because, well, she never has inspected us since we opened 20 years ago. We had zero violations and only 2 suggestions dealing with back flow. Only 2 or 3 of us in the kitchen, so we have more control over things. Doen't hurt that we're anal about storage, labeling, dating and not keeping old food around.
When she first arrived, I thought she was an applicant for a part time job to help me, then I saw the Thermoscan in her pocket...
Hopefully won't see her for another 20 years

Congratulations, PJ! I think that is fantastic. Good for you! And, you probably won't see her for another 20 years since a surprise visit went so well.

Congratulations! My recent surprise was an audit from the wage and hour Feds. They were here two days and said I owed $1.36. A few weeks later they refunded me some change, maybe $0.56. What a waste of everybodies time and money.

Congratulations P.J.! 20 years is a long long time. I think we had a surprise visit from ABC (alcohol). I was on my toes and asked for his ID - I told him that if you don't look old enough to date my Granddaughter you're carded. He laughed!
(there was this little official looking "star" badge on his wallet - whew!)

Whoaaaaa! Kudos to you and your staff PJ!
Whereabouts is your place located? We only travel through NH along the I95 corridor. Or are you off the beaten path?
