Inspector’s notes
No signage to remind employees to wash hands in ladies room - Signs provided at previous inspections and today

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.
