How dumb is ORF?
So I post that the pretzels are uncovered and that is a violation of health code. ORF responds by putting paper sleeves on them. Knock knock guys. Who’s there. Common sense. Common sense who? Exactly. It is becoming fairly obvious that portions of the staff and management of the Ohio Renaissance Festival are complete and utterly incompetant.
Pretzel / Health code update
Food Service Manager to be fired?
Has anyone noticed the pretzels being sold off a pole are now covered by a paper sleeve? Yep, you heard it here first. Food has to be covered prior to sale. In the case of the pretzels walking around the park on the end of a long pole, this is to prevent bugs from landing on them and birds from pooping on them. They were not covered previously, this year they are in paper sleeves, why do you think that is? Because this protest is working and one by one the Ohio Renaissance Festival is making the changes that are demanded. One issue at a time, they are admitting that they were WRONG. Read more…
Rotting food dumped in creek.
Food dumped in Creek
I have told you about the showers at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. I have told you about the accusations that toxic chemicals were dumped into the creek. Now I am going to tell you about rotting food being dumped routinely into the creek, left there to rot and attract pests which threaten the health of customers and participants. I am speaking of the rotten tomatoes which I have seen literally fill portions of the creek bed which runs through the Ohio Renaissance Festival.
Vision Hazard
Chances are you would never think that you were at risk of loosing your vision if you attended a public attraction like the Ohio Renaissance Festival. Chances are, you believe that the owners of such events are concerned about their customer’s vision or at minimum about prevent law suits. Chances are you are right. Well, I think you would be right if the owner(s), staff, and management of such an event were competent. Unfortunately for people who attend and participate in the Ohio Renaissance Festival, I do not think the owner is competent enough to make such decisions and I think his poor judgement is forced on his staff and management.
Pretzels and Cheese
Pretzels and Cheese
Have you ever wondered why it is that at a buffet there is a cover over all of the food and special tongs to serve the food with? That is because it is against health code for food to be allowed to sit without a cover.
Sanitation not Period?
We had a conversation with a candy merchant who will not be returning for the 08 season. Her reason for not returning for the 08 season; Marietta Marcin. Per the departing merchant, in addition to complaining to us about how Marietta Marcin repeatedly provided sexual advances to the merchant’s husband, evidently there is a little bit of confusion about what exactly the health codes are for a Renaissance Festival.
