I went to Dominos Yesterday and the Health Department's Grade was....

[Zoneboy]

102.0 :eek:

Prior to this, The highest grade I've seen was 100.0 and that was at one of the Subways here in town. I worked in restaurants for nearly 20 years (including Subway) and not once did any of them ever receive a grade above the high 90's. My Grandmother was in the restaurant business her entire life and scored a 100.0 only once but she always maintained a respectable grade.

Do they show this in the window?

In Los Angeles county they show by way of sign with either A, B, C or F. "A" means 90-100 percent. And so on. In our county we don't have that. Nor have I ever seen a sign or display of any kind.

[Zoneboy]

Do they show this in the window?

No, They have it on the wall to the left of the counter.

What does this grade mean anyway?

[Seth]

Sometime here soon they're supposed to be required here in Lexington to begin showing health department scores loud and clear up front in the restaurants. This August when I go back to UK things should be mighty interesting for me.

I didn't even know it was POSSIBLE to get a score above 100.

I assume the extra .2 on the score means every single employee was smiling? ;)

I last worked in a restaurant around 1990 and at the time, The Health Dept. was very strict and would deduct points for the least little thing. Grades of 100.0 were very rare but now they seem to be more common which makes me believe that they've lightend up which doesn't make much sense especially with E-coli, hepatitis outbreaks etc... that come from food or the handling of it.

So true. I was a restaurant night manager and I remember seeing the reports after the health inspector visited and seeing all the little things they noticed. I was like, "Damn!" :crazy:

I didn't either. I guess they must have done some extra credit! ;)

[dawsongirl]

Is that a good score?

[Zoneboy]

Is that a good score?

That's about as good as it gets

[dawsongirl]

Ah. I've never seen any grades for restaurants around here. I might be scared if I did.

[Stormtracker TF]

Same here. :lol:

[Zoneboy]

I thought it was the law that all restaurants had to be graded and that the grade had to be displayed in a prominent place where it was easily visible to the customer. That's the law around here and most are usually graded every 90 days
