Well, last Saturday, on our way to Toronto for Joey's surprise party, the six of us stopped at the Wendys/Tim Hortons on the 401 just east of London. My order was two Junior hamburgers, plain.
Now these are about 1/4 of an inch thick. I took two bites then happened to look at it. It was raw! I opened the other one, ripped it and it was worse. How you can not cook something that thin is beyond me. This Wendy's has two service windows. One was closed but two women were setting up the cash register for the coming dinner hour. (It was about 3pm when we were there.)
I went to the closed window and showed them my raw burgers. They apologized and went to talk to the grill guy and get me two new ones, they also gave me back my money.
As I was standing there I could see into the kitchen. The floor was filthy, littered with food pieces and crumbs. It was under the stainless steel counter things. Suddenly, I saw a mouse run left to right, then another one!
I emailed the Health Department of Oxford County who advised me they would do a sneak inspection. Well...
She called me just now. She went into the service centre at 10am two days ago. The floor was just as I described it, at 10am! There was evidence of (read mouse poop!) of rodents clearly visible. She called their head office and is meeting with them and a pest control company today. Obviously the staff isn't doing clean up and ultimately, the managers are certainly NOT doing what they get paid to do.
She thanked me and said she wished more people would report the things they see.
Luckily, I did not get sick but if the conditions here stayed that way so many people could have. Think about how many people from all over could stop there and carry stuff away with them!
Take a good look around folks when you stop at places like this!

This is why we always stop at the <"Flying J"> at London. Good food, coffee and very clean washrooms plus they keep their gas prices lower than the other stations on the 401. You can also shop there as their gift area is huge and has some great items.
AND THEY DON'T HAVE MICE
Well usually Wendy's is a safe bet, as a rule they are clean, fast and I like their food and they had a Tim's too... come to think of it, the Tim's people must have seen the mice? Anyway, it's being taken care of, I assume the Manager will be seeking other employment?
