Doesn't sound great - but then again, you'd be surprised just how many "violations" are passable, even in strict areas like California.

Back in my youth, the restaurant I worked at always passed, but had 2 pages of notes for things that weren't correct. Most are benign, like dust found under the stove.

I worked as a cook at a TGIF when I was younger. I've seen things...food dropped on the floor and still used...the general laissez-faire attitude of kitchen staff under the right conditions can be appalling. I haven't been to a TGIF since I left and I avoid chains of that caliber as much as possible.
You’d be surprised that this isn’t uncommon in even some upscale establishments
there are only 15 waygu steaks in the freezer and tossing one because it might have hit the floor isn't acceptable
I worked at a movie theater and the ice machine had mold. I even not so subtly showed the health inspector who didn't care. This was California too... We got an A rating.
