This is a complaint investigation for RFS #14-0347 regarding a roach on a subway melt. I spoke to the manager, Julia Shilling, who stated that there had not been a complaint called in to the store. She did state that there have been disciplinary actions and employee lay offs, but no complaints about roaches. Julia stated that the restaurant does have monthly spraying/treatment by Orkin, the pest control operator. A record of the monthly visits show that the pest control operator was present 5/14/14, 6/11/14 and most recently 7/9/14. All of the businesses in this strip mall are treated at the same time each month by the same company. Site investigation did not reveal any potential sources of where pests may reside. There were a few flies present at the time of inspection, did request that sandwich coolers be kept closed when not in use and to ensure that cookies are protected as well as drains and areas under equipment be cleaned and sanitized. As there were no roaches present at the time of the inspection, this complaint can be closed. No violation noted during this evaluation.	7/22/2014	Complaint Investigation

Complaint investigation in response to RFS-13-0597 which stated, "On 12/05/2013 at approximately 7 pm, a roach crawled under the paper my sandwich was being made on. The employee smashed the roach with her hand, switched gloves, and continued to prepare the sandwich," Conducted a site visit today and discussed complaint with manager, Vicky Lovell. Manager was aware of pest issue and has been taking steps to rectify the situation. Manager states that previous to 12/05/2013, the food establishment next to Subway was on a different pest control schedule than them, leading to re-infestation. On 12/05/2013, Subway and the establishment next door both began to use the same Pest Control Operator and have begun pest control service on the same schedule. The last pest control service took place on 12/05/2013 (the day of the complaint). There is generally always an increase in pest observation the day an establishment is serviced by a licensed Pest Control Operator. The new Pest Control Operator is Orkin. Records provided to the sanitarian show that this establishment was baited for mice and roaches at 8:30 am on 12/05/2013. Invoice #89284718. No live or dead cockroaches were observed during this inspection. Effective handwashing practices were discussed with manager, Vicky Lovell. Manager stated that she will revisit proper handwashing policies with her staff, as it is Subway policy (as well as Health Department policy) to wash hands BEFORE putting gloves on AND before changing gloves. Manager stated policy would have dictated that the employee should have thrown away the sandwich and taken the entire cutting board to the backroom to clean and sanitize it before any more sandwiches were made. All employees on staff during inspection stated that they know they are required to wash hands before putting on gloves and before changing gloves. Recommend complaint be closed. SS 12/11/2013. Containers covered, adequate number, insect and rodent proof, emptied at proper intervals, clean Dumpster lids outside left open. Corrected by closing to decrease access to a food source for pests. Waste containers stored outside the establishment such as dumpsters, compactor and compactor systems shall be kept covered when not in actual use.	12/11/2013	Complaint Investigation

This is a complaint investigation for RFS#13-0387 in regards to "the cashier touching money and 'helping' the other workers by wrapping the sandwiches as they cam to him, isn't wearing gloves, isn't washing his hands in between taking money and wrapping sandwiches. Also a 'horrible fly problem'." As the regular sanitarian was out on vacation, a site visit was conducted. At that time, I spoke to Vicky Lovell the manager on duty. At the time of the investigation, it was noted that there was one or two flies present. I did not notice any large number, it was possible that at the time the complainant was in there may have been more, however, at this time there was no large number of flies. According to Ms. Lovell, the Pest Control Operator River City Pest Control was last present on July 25, 2013 for routine treatment/pest control spraying. In order to ensure pests are minimized, continue routine cleaning and sanitizing of all areas and that floor drains are routinely cleaned as well. The noted next pest control operations are August 20, 2013. Discussed with the manager the importance of ensuring that covers to the sandwich prep coolers are kept closed when not in use. Please fax over to our office the most recent invoice from the pest control operator to (309) 679-6174. I did inform the manager that there were issues with workers not washing hands or utilizing bare hand contact. I did explain to the manager that one person should be taking money and washing hands routinely, and that no bare hand contact should be done. A 'Handwashing HACCP' bulletin was provided and proper hand washing was discussed. Hands shall be washed thoroughly before using utensils, including: deli tissues, spatulas, tongs or single-use gloves. Gloves used to handle ready-to-eat food, shall be single-use gloves (used for only one task). Single-use gloves shall be discarded when damaged or soiled or when interruptions occur in operations. Food service employees shall keep their hands and the exposed portions of their arms clean. Food service employees shall clean their hands and exposed portions of their arms for at least 20 seconds, using a cleaning compound. Ensure hands are washed properly and routinely. If there are any questions, contact this office at (309) 679-6161. No violation noted during this evaluation.	8/12/2013	Complaint Investigation
