This just happened. It's a little after 1:00. A woman ordered a hot dog, so I checked the temp. They are degrees away from being able to be sold. I let her know & her response was a huffy "I don't know why you do this to people on their break." So I'm doing this purposely?? I responded that I'm "bound by the law..." and she said "This always seems to happen on your shift." Let me interject here that I'm not even usually back here anymore, and this happens on any shift. We can't control it beyond getting them on there in a timely manner and setting the controls on the machine. I told her that I had put them on at noon when I got there, and then she was all nice. Whatever.

Well, hot dogs aren't really raw anyway. I used to eat them right out of the package when I was a kid. They're smoked, and they're edible, but they taste much better when they're grilled. I'm guessing the law says they have to be a certain temp just to CYA.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

I know at my store (since we have microwaves available for patrons to use) some people don't want to wait, will take one and just pop it into the microwave for a couple seconds to bump it those last couple of degrees, and be content.
However, if there is no microwave, this is not possible and she should either request they have hot dogs down in time for her break earlier in the morning when she arrives, or STFU.

It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

We don't know what happened between the supplier and us. Our county says certain items need to be heated to 165°F before being handed to the customer. We keep a record of every batch we make, temp every single batch, and store the record for several years. My regulars know it's the law; I've told them it is. The last time we were missing a temp on the record when the county health inspector came in, she told me straight out that she could shut us down if she wanted. My boss at the time actually argued with me. I'm just sick of being argued with over hot dogs."Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably
