Student Suspended For Opening High School Deli

[goji]

higher chance of getting poisoned by the cafeteria or some local fast food joint than from him id believe.....

we live in a day and age where for some reason, no one will trust each other. Keep this attitude up that anyone can and will hurt you, and we are all in for a horrible future.

O Please, its accountability as well. In the chance he served a bad product, who and how would he cover himself? This isn't a matter of trust but of accountability and liability.

Hey this guy seems legit (Y)

But yea, as most people pointed out, if the school didnt stop him, it would be looked at as saying it is ok, and if something happened, the school would get in major time out

So, lesson learned. This next summer while driving in your local neighborhood, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT stop and by lemonade from little girls/boys. Seriously people, you have no clue if those little buggers have laced that with arsenic or LSD. If it is not regulated by our government then it has got to be harmful to you.

That actually made me laugh, I had run a lemonade stand for months when I was a kid, 25 cents for a large cup of fresh lemonade, people around here was buying it so fast I was having to mix about 4 large pitchers of it a day. Garbage truck drivers were buying it every time they did their run, and any time police officers were in the area they'd always stop and have a few glasses. And no, it didn't contain LSD or arsenic. :p

What do you think would happen if all the "bureaucratic red tape" suddenly vanished, and the health inspectors walked into McDonalds or KFC and said, "We give up. We don't actually care what you do with your food, and we've finally realized that our bureaucratic red tape does more harm than good, so do as you please."

The standards exist for many, many reasons, and they should not be relaxed for some random teenager who holds contempt for authority.

People can 'what if' all day...but there are rules and regulations to follow for a purpose. This kid had a great ideal and I hope he doesn't give up and takes the proper steps and makes a fortune or starts a franchise. I'd prefer his meat and ingredients be inspected to avoid one of these 'WHAT IFs'

It's kinda fair enough that they closed it down, but they should maybe look into other ways to allow him to do it. If the demand is there and he is intelligent enough to see it and take the opportunity then surely school is a place where these things should be encouraged.

LMAO...

And all those guys arguing, "what if he did this or that?", how sure are you your fast food place is clean, or someone hasnt snapped and added "something" to the sauce? **

Sure he did something wrong, the right course of action would be to explain to him the errors of his ways (stop him from selling in the interim) and then hand him a form to fill out for a licence. If he does this, both parties are covered.

But I guess the school wasnt going to make any money, so bye bye sandwich guy...

And who gets in trouble from the government if somebody gets sick?

The school does.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen expired food used in restaurants. I once saw someone pick up an old/grey pepperoni slice from under an oven, wipe his ass with it then proceed to put it right in the middle of the pizza so the first bite of every slice would be a surprise. The customer was a dick, and had repeatedly belittled a guy on the phone taking his order.

All of these rules and regulations are setup for a reason, but it doesn't mean that large corporations follow them. KFC has constantly been under attack because of the chickens they use and how they're treated before they're slaughtered. Believe me, I'm the first person to buy a bag of beef/chicken/pork tamales from the old Mexican lady sitting on the side of the road. I'll take my own risks, which is what you do every time you eat food not prepared/grown by yourself personally.

I absolutely bet that there's some food being sold in that high school that doesn't get inspected by the health dept or have the necessary "licenses".

I know at my high school, the athletic boosters sold concessions at sporting events at the gym, and the cheerleaders sold cookies and milk in the mornings out of the same concession stand.

The principal's only real concern here is probably that the school's cafeteria has competition.

Thats what I was thinking. I never have but I know an owner of a local sub shop. Dont be rude if you dont want disinfectant in your sandwhich.

That's funny, where I come from it's 'don't put disinfectant in your sandwich and you won't get a brick thru your window'. :)
