Complaint
My husband and I ate breakfast at the Waffle House in Richland on Sunday morning. We noticed approximately a dozen live flies in the restaurant. There was a waitress in the restaurant who was preparing waffles. After placing a waffle on the plate from the griddle, she rubbed her nose and then touched the waffle to reposition it on the plate. She also coughed into her hand and rubbed her hand through her hair. She did not wash her hands after this and continued to serve food. Also, there were two cooks present and one of them had on one glove and was touching food with her ungloved hand.

I called the manager at facility & talked to him about the complaint received by RCHD. He stated that he would talk right away to all the employees about the correct hygenic procedures & the hand washing/glove changing policy & about Waffle House policy.I will be conducting a facility inspection to monitor these interventions.
