3: 0070 (15) No verifiable evidence that Armando (dishwasher) trained on EHP. Manager states he was trained but could not find Form 1-B for him.
Corrective Actions: COS. Manager had blanks copies of Form 1-B in English and Spanish. Went over information with employee again and showed me signed Form 1-B.

16: 1700 (1-5) (6a) (6b). Dishwasher showing 0 ppm Chlorine. Totes were full but could still not get it to work.
Corrective Actions: COS. Manager has called service who should come today. Until then, can use dishwasher to wash dishes, but will have to sanitize in 3-compartment sink.

28: 3340 Sweet and Sour mix stored on bottom shelf of wood stand next to Coke reach-in at bar next to 3 chemical bottles. Canned tomatoes stored with Pot and Pan cleaner in Dry Storage. Chemicals and foods should be physically separated when in storage.

41: 570 Wiping cloths seen in back kitchen area, cook line area and front drink area wet and on horizontal surfaces.
Corrective Actions: When not in use, cleaning cloths should be stored in a sani-bucket with sanitizer to prevent bacterial growth between uses. Will follow-up on this at next routine inspection.

54: 2720 Outside dumpster had trash in it, both doors open, and was not actively in use.
