Investigative Report
As I was driving West on Sherman Way I documented all the street vendor food stands on the public sidewalk and private parking lot for the shopping center. I did not see any restrooms, sinks for washing their hands, gloves on workers hands, refrigerators to keep the chicken, beef and fish at a safe temperature. I was shocked to find out that nobody at this location had any concern for the public's wellbeing and safety.
