Sanitation Problems Close Social Security Cafeteria

     From the Baltimore Sun:
Officials at the Woodlawn-based Social Security Administration took the unusual step Thursday of closing its cafeteria facilities after an internal inspection found problematic "housekeeping conditions," a spokesman said. ...

The agency did not provide detail of what was found, other than to note the issues were "sanitation-related." The agency said an inspection found conditions that "do not meet required standards."...
A spokesman for Brock & Company, the Pennsylvania-based food services vendor for the agency, said in a statement that "sanitation is a top priority at all our locations and we are working with our partner client [SSA] in addressing the housekeeping and facilities issues that were discovered during today's inspection."
     Update: The cafeteria reopens Monday.

I retired a year ago but do miss seeing John the pizza guy in the cafeteria. He prepared all the food he sold and I knew anything I got from him was done right. Plus he was quite good at customer service.

Ancho grill is the best

Contracting out at its best. Gotta stop this nonsense. Contracting out does not work and is not cost effective.

It is like buying "Fendi" look alike merchandise at Walmart.

You get what you pay for; however, it is the employees and the public we serve who suffers.

The field offices have it figured out... no cafeteria!

Well in the field the employees have to buy our own fridge/microwave/toaster/coffee pot. Meanwhile, the agency spends beaucoup $ at the end of every fiscal year buying supplies and furniture we do not need.

Wow! What a shame social security was having sanitation issues. You would think the government itself would be up to code.
