I once worked at a produce store next door to a butcher 20 years ago. Cleanliness was job #1. Not for the customers but for the enforcement people who would walk through with their pad while visiting the butcher and send the owner an itemized bill of violations. An empty soap container in the bathroom was something like a $900 fine, which is why stupidly redundant things like “check soap container” was on my to-do closing list.
Back in my restaurant days, I always volunteered for “health inspection night” – the night before they showed up for the annual. That was an all-nighter of soap, water, polish, wax… and overtime.
been to many a hole in the wall place where i closed my eyes and ate the food – not because i don’t prefer cleanliness, but because the food was great and i didn’t want to see the things that might take my appetite away

I’m stunned Jon’s favorite diner didn’t get completely closed down.

I see seemingly clean Glass Cups in the right bottom-corner, in the last panel…

Just like that Grover/Fat Blue sketch where the restaurant only had milk but no glasses.
Nice to have Irma make a comeback.

Irma seems to have dyed her hair. I remember a Sunday strip from a long time ago featuring Irma where she had red hair.
