Here’s a story – choose some random restaurants and see how many in-person annual inspections they’ve had since the end of pandemic shutdowns. It is scary how many have not been inspected regularly.

Oh DHEC, you are so right!
Decades ago, I used to work with a guy who had been a Waffle House manager. He told me then, that they paid off the health inspectors.

Just because I’m always afraid of dying before I get to tell all of the true relevant stories I am so full of, here is one:
In May 1991, I was invited to a Preventive Medicine residency at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.
Part of my orientation month was to go out with an inspector of grocery stores. She was inspecting a Harris Teeter that day and we were met by the assistant manager. The inspector was really thorough and told me many establishments want an A rating when they are really B.
After the inspector and I were led by the assistant manager to the storage areas, the bakery, and the kitchen, I was told we were going to the office for the inspector to ask the assistant manager some questions. I excused myself for a couple of minutes to go buy a sandwich for my belated lunch from the store’s deli.
I joined the inspector and the assistant manager in the office and noticed two large bottles of more expensive wine on the inspector’s side of the manager’s desk and a very sheepish look on the assistant manager’s face when he realized I noticed.
End of my personal knowledge part of the story.
