10/17 Hoarding Nightmare: The Aftermath

Quote From: yvonneej

My employer, who owns a bar/restaurant is a hoarder.  It is pathetic.  It has cost her good employees, who have left because of the crazy world it has created.  I realize this person has a serious mental/emotional problem.  She also has some serious health problems, which adds to the insanity.  There is food and junk everywhere, not to mention the filth.  I worry that she will make people sick at the restaurant.  I don't know what to do anymore.  My co-workers said "write to Dr. Phil....he knows the horrors of this situation".  What can we do?  She is a kind and generous person, but this problem will eventually kill her.  I know this will not end unless there is a big "wake up" call.  Help! 
get a hold of the Health inspector.  I believe you can do it without leaving your name.  Give him certain things to check out like old food or dangerous areas that block exits... that could be the fire marshalls area.  I worked years in a restaurant and they will shut down somewhere that isn't kept up to code.  The restaurant I worked at was a good one with a great boss though.

Why not bring your situation to Chef Gordon of "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares" fame? I watched "Kitchen Nightmares" last night. Chef Gordon went to a seafood restaurant in Islip, NY. Business had fallen off because the food was so lousy, they hadn't gotten a repeat customer in over two years.The restaurant, especially the kitchen, was beyond filthy. The chef was even serving customers rotten, moldy pesto. And, recooked food. Chef Gordon shut the restaurant down on the spot, making the owners send all the customers home. The restaurant remained closed for five days for cleaning and remodeling. The chef, and his assistant, were fired, a new chef hired, and the restaurant thrived.
