I understand your point and in many cases a C does include a critical violation. But I'm just giving my opinion that a C rating (28 points) doesn't mean that a place is absolutely disgusting, which is a common misconception. Is a C a turn off? Sure. I unfortunately know more than I want to about the health grading system since my husband owns a restaurant and through that we also have many friends in the business. My point is only it can be a combination of other violations that don't have to do with bugs, bad food, etc. Different conversation direction than the OP's original question. Obviously their C is for other reasons.
For example, if an inspector think someone working in the restaurant is sick, that's 10 points per employee that they believe to be. Again depends on the inspector. Like when we were going to be hit with points for a door between two rooms by an inspector last year while the inspections we had for nearly 10 years never even mentioned the door! But getting out the drill and removing the doors was sufficient. You can always fight in court as well to reduce the fines. I guess my summary point is that if you like a place, their current/past C rating isn't a reason to think they are disgusting or to no longer be a patron. That being said, we have always had an A
