20 Wild Things Seen by Health Inspectors

When it comes to health-code violations, it’s wholly unsurprising to find Golden Corral on the list of offenders. Buffets are known petri dishes of viruses, given that God knows who can do God knows what while heaping piles of food onto their maybe-clean plates. But some locations are more horrendous than others, as one health inspector on Reddit found out. 

As they tell it, they squatted down to check a dishwasher, and their foot broke through the tile floor and into a sewer pipe that ran underneath, prompting cockroaches to “come boiling out of the hole.” Upon further inspection, they realized that the entire floor was rotten due to the leaky sewer pipe. When they informed the general manager of the issue, the general manager tried to fight them. Classic. 

Other Redditors have remembered the health inspections they’ll never forget, and unfortunately, the Golden Corral story is far from the worst one.
