In the walk in cooler with drinks there was eggs stored over cheese, hot dogs, and cream cheese. The eggs were moved to the bottom. I explained that eggs need to be treated like raw meat.
In the walk in cooler there was bread stored on the floor.
On the shelving in the back there is what appears to be water damage. The cabinets under the soda fountains also have what appears to be water damage.
There are several dirty rags on the 3-compartment.
The bowl of sanitizer was very low. There was barely any change in the test strip.
The sinks to the 3-compartment are filthy. There is what appears to be soda syrup that has dripped on the side of the cabinet by the Little Debbie display. The public restroom is also dirty and has a noticeable odor.
Observed a black hose with no back-flow prevention device below the flood rim in the mop sink. I discussed with the maintenance employee who did know he needed to take off the hose. Discussed that there are faucets that have backflow prevent devices already installed so they wouldn't have to worry about it in the future.
Observed mouse feces in the cabinet under the small soda fountain. I pointed this out to the employee. He said they do have a licensed pest company that treats the facility but was unable to get the invoices.
The floor is very dirty by the utility sink.
In the room with the water heater and cups there is exposed wood. At the bottom it is black due to possible water damage. In that same room there is exposed insulation in the ceiling. Also there are ceiling tiles throughout the facility that are stained, damaged, or not easily cleanable. There is a ceiling tile missing in the back by the 3-compartment sink.
On the counter in the soda fountain area there was a spray bottle of Fantastik stored by opened food trays and coffee. The employee said the food trays aren't being used anymore and are garbage. Explained that chemicals must be stored away from food and food contact surfaces preferably in the back room or under the counter in a cabinet. The spray bottle was moved to a cabinet.

Sanitizer bucket did not have sufficient concentration of sanitizer solution.
Observed black hose with no back-flow prevention device below the flood rim in the mop sink.
No hand drying towels provided at the hand sink at time of inspection. Also ensure that soap dispenser is not clogged.
In the back room next to the hand sink and above the shelving, there is a badly damaged ceiling tile where insulation is being exposed and rain is coming in through the roof (raining at time of inspection). Plastic containers were being used to catch the rain water but it is still coming down on the wall behind the shelving. Spoke with manager about immediately having this repaired.
