Food pedal on front handwash sink loose. Sink still operates, but will be easier for employees to use consistently if repaired. Reminder: at time of last visit, establishment indicated that they might demolish area used for chicken prep as part of removal of seafood area. This area is still in use and it is strongly recommended that it continue to be used and maintained in good repair, as establishment lacks sufficient facilities for preparing raw chicken in main deli area. Should establishment again consider demolishing this area, contact James Smith at 919-868-9246 to discuss alternatives BEFORE any demo work is done.
