  SPEAKER_01: Can't have that, like a speaker.

• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: Um, there was one thing where they had a label on the container, like you know, Tuesday or whatever, and then it it it they washed the container, and there was still a little residue from the label on there.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: You know, they're just not like they're not, it's it, it's it's I don't know what I have a question because do they do this once a year?
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: No, every three months.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Every three months.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: So you go through this, you've gone through this every three months for how many years?
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: 23 years.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: And has it always been like this, or did just some some No, it's all it well, you get different inspectors, and different inspectors want different things.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: For example, they want the eggs below the meat or the eggs above the meat.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: You know, everything has to be you can't have raw, you know, chicken above lettuce, right?
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, because if your chicken juice happens to leak, you don't want it going into your lettuce.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: So you want the chicken juice down the floor, you know, like not on the floor, lower down in the walk-in cooler.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: So you have all these things.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: The beef has to be above, the chicken has to be above the whatever, and the eggs have to be down towards the bottom.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: Well, one guy comes along and he says, Oh, your eggs are in the wrong place.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: We're like, we're told that's where the eggs are supposed to go in in this location below the beef.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: And he goes, No, the eggs have to go above me.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: So, okay, whatever you say, we put them above beef.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: This guy comes in today or yesterday, and he goes, Your eggs are in the wrong place.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: And we're like, Let me show you the inspection where they told us we had to move the eggs to this location.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: And so now the eggs are in this location because that's what they told us to do.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so but every inspector's different.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: And what did he say?
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: They said, Okay, well, we'll just let you leave them where they're at then.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: But like every inspector has their thing.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: Like this inspector's little pet peeve is the fact that our cutting boards have a little bit of black uh flower dust on them.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't like that, even though if we wipe them off, they come right back if we put a pizza peel down.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: So then I'm actually looking into like, can I buy like marble for these for instead of these cutting boards?
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: Put marble in there.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but if you do what if you make these crazy changes for this person, and then someone else comes in in the next time, and they've got a whole but a bunch of other things.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: That's and well, I've done that, I've done that the entire 23 years.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: Like what we had this station in the front, we went by for a few years, and then a guy comes and says, Oh, you got to put a sink right here.
