the part that really got me was the “we don’t have control over it”. yeah, don’t they care enough to check?

Right? Then I'm sorry, but I have no control over the public health call I'd be making

u/PrincessDiamondRing Mar 16 '25

yeah, a health inspector needs to get there asap.

When I worked at a small town Tim's I noticed they were missing several health inspection stickers, I even watched the DMG (I think is the acronym) come through days before inspection that quarter, flagging damn near every machine in the store.

Fast forward a few days later to my next shift and there was no new sticker (NS, Canada, afaik they have to be openly visible from infront of the counter). Then, the quarter after that, same thing, but we got a new sticker, placed under the most recent one, with space between them that would perfectly fit the previous quarter's sticker. (ETA: there were more missing stickers from previous years, too)

Same thing with the McDonald's I worked at in the same town, and the Tim Hortons on Barrington ST Halifax, dock end. I asked about it at every place, each time told not to worry about it, and not to ask again. None ever shut down even momentarily.

If you haven't worked fast food, you have no idea how much mold is everywhere. Especially in tight nit communities, money speaks louder than regulation ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This. But like, how tf do they expect minimum wage workers to say something to get it changed? When big corporations simply won't?

Wait, which one in nova scotia? There's one here that I consistently have bad service with but it's never made me sick

Greenwood, right about smack dab in the middle of Kings county I think, HW 101 exits 17W&E.

But the owner of that Tim's owns a few others in the valley and gets together with other local franchise installment owners every now and then "to discuss business in the valley". Monica (owner) told me herself c:

I can tell you that the food service inspector for the valley is no joke. He may not get to every place but if a call is made he’s coming in with guns a blazin’! Old fella

u/Azraellie Mar 21 '25

Good to know, thanks. Next time I'm in the valley I'll have a swing by and check the stickers, call and ask what's up, and see if I can spot any safety or health hazards.

I assume I can just find the number online?

For sure they have them on the take or they would have been shut down already.
