    Literally never seen that before or had any concern anyway. I've worked in restaurants, all the ones I worked in were pretty gross (though surprisingly McDonald's wasn't so bad), never stopped me from eating there

    Maybe it's a state thing, I seriously thought every restaurant had to be inspected and it had to be displayed. That's how it is here in N.C.

    I added you and Dean an option.

    Vote changed, then!

    There have been some news reports here and there that a place has shut down for violations but I've never seen anything physically posted.

    That blows my mind. I guess I've never looked for them posted when out of state :eek:

    I've never seen one of those before. The health inspection results USED to be printed in the local paper. They've been out of print for 10 years or more. Never seen a sign like that posted at a restaurant though.

    That is crazy to me. They are in every restaurant here and on the drive thru window if they have one.

    Basically, you can tell how clean a place is by how the building looks.

    Had to make a tool last night quick like to get a suspension out of a sno-sled. It was quick and dirty, but it worked. FD8A3947-4111-4A84-A2A5-48F6F03C1771.jpgit’s also ugly as sin, and I couldn’t leave it in the tool box. I’ve got a little more time tonight, so I’ll give it another go. 5C475A6D-4B8B-453F-8E70-ABC119BD3A1C.jpg
    looks a little better. It’s got to have the handle cut and welded to 90*, as it’s close quarters in there. Here’s the nut6CCE456C-C8AD-440C-A350-45DDE6E5C6BD.jpgand here’s the fit0F584D34-AE24-4122-BA35-D1F4DE8B8163.jpg

    Cover these slots, then cut them on the other end. Check.
