I went to another Jimboy's Tacos awhile back. The food was so delicious. Unfortunately they don't have and locations where I live, or anywhere near. I looked forward to coming to Norcal, so that I could enjoy it again.
Today was the day. I went to the location, and placed and order, and paid,
I asked the cashier "Do I need a code for the restroom?"
Cashier said "The restroom is temporarily closed."
I asked "that's not cool, Do you know if there is another restroom close by?" (I wanted to wash my hands before I eat.)
Cashier said (in a rude mocking manner) "No."
I said "Ok," and l literally waved it off, and turned around to walk out the door to look for a restroom."
Cashier said "Do you have a problem?"
I turned back around, and said "Excuse me?"
Cashier said "What are you going to do about it?"
I said " I was going to look for a restroom."
Cashier accuses me of flipping him off, and I explained that I didn't then, he mimicked my hand motion, acknowledging he knew I didn't flip him off. The cook guy comes out from the back and starts in on it. (check the camera, I didn't flip anyone off.)
I explained to the cook that the cashier was being rude, and at this time the cashier hands me a $10 and told be to leave and never come back. I take the $10 bill and turn to walk to the door, and the cook guy comes after me.
The cook guy is still asking "what is the problem," "what do you want"
I explain "I wanted the restroom, but this guy was being rude about it."
The cook guy says "The restroom is out of order," "why are you still here, why aren't you leaving"
I explained that I was answering him, because he was speaking to me...then I walked out, a little confused, and very disappointed.
This was a very disappointing experience. This was a very disappointing experience. Yeah, I said that twice, that is how bad it was.
I still want some of those Tacos, and hope to find another location while on my work day today.
Is the restroom out of order, or is it temporarily closed? Which is it? Either way it is a health code violation.
Updated:
California Uniform Retail Food Facilities Law - Section 114120 requires restroom facilities.
So, the owner has been emailing me. He calls me a liar, but refuses to point out any part that is not true.
He now is trying to claim "white privilege" on me...so I guess he is a racist? I am not, my wife is Mexican. (But he obviously doesn't know that.) I also don't think only white people wash their hands before they eat, but he seems to think so. He claims to know the laws, so he must have intentionally broke it. For anyone that might think "white privilege," it doesn't exist for me...I work 60-70+ hours a week, my greatest joy is to pay for tasty food like those tacos.
Another edit: This guy emailed me again accusing me of trying to use "white privilege," I guess only white people desire to eat with clean hands.
