Seed spillage is just part of making bagels, says B&B Empire Cafe owner Alex Gormakh, who has been fined $1,650 by the city for incidental infractions like fallen sesames.


Gormakh and his son, Max, 34, have invested close to $900,000 in larger stainless steel preparation tables — in hopes of containing seed fallout — and an expensive water-filter vacuum to suck up the seeds from the floor.
“It is still not profitable, but it is close,” said Gormakh, who moved his family here from Russia in 1995 and opened his store last June.

In Russia they call it “corruption”.
Here we call it liberalism “gone mad”.

[Diogenesis]

Insufficient melanin or simply wrong party registration?

Whoo boy what a quote!

“If you want to work, you have to pay. In Russia, they call it corruption. Here, they call it something else. Either way, you have to pay.”

They are short on tax money...

They will collect, one way or the other.

Rush covered this today. Bagels seem to be on dipship Bloooombergs list. He banned the giving of free bagels to the poor because of the salt content...it all fits....

...my pre-written response to all things Bloomberg:

Bloomers is a Crony-capitalist, nebbish, poor little rich boy, self hating jew, tiny buttwipe of a man...the only reason he is probably not a fag (the jury is still out) is that he has the greatest aphrodisiac of all time, billions of dollars....he decries the 2nd amendment, but whines about how the enemy’s first amendment rights to worship are being usurped....even though Islam is NOT a religion but a murder cult.....and dont get me started on salt, transfats, cigarettes and sugar

Zero tolerance for Sesame seeds. What a joke these inspection people are.

Half the stores in New York probably have roach’s and mice running wild and these morons are after a guy for a leaky bagel.

“......Still, city regulators were unsympathetic.”

Having been a small business owner in the past WE at the ranch have the experience as recipients of the Leftist “City Regulators” attitude towards the business community. If you own your own business, no matter the extent of your success, no matter the cash flow, no matter ANYTHING other than YOU are designated the “owner”, therefore YOU ARE RICH, therefore your bank account is fair game. They will tax, fine, assess, a business before that business can even make a single dollars profit if they can.

It’s all about revenue under the guise of for the city, the county, for the Fire, Police, Teachers.

The Leftists in government are a criminal enterprise for the purpose of stealing from the productive to skim under the guise of government legitimacy what they may for themselves.

Bloodsuckers.

Something’s not adding up here - this guy spent $900,000 to fix a problem that resulted in a $1,600 fine?

[Jack Hammer]

The official - as are so many Big City pols - is an officious imbecile promoted way above his ability.

He should be policing stray bits of TP in some public restroom somewhere.

Business owner are always named, along with the general location of the shop, in articles of this sort. The “inspector” is always anonymous agent. Why do these reporters protect their identities?

Don’t readers have the right to all pertinent information? Shouldn’t somebody monitor the monitors?

[JimRed]

...the inspectors must have holes in their heads.

There was no envelope waiting for them when they first announced their presence...that triggered a very careful inspection.

[PoloSec]

This is how the MOB works now, you can pay them for protection from the government, or you pay the gov’t which is much more costly, devastating and fully bent on your ruin, much worse than having your legs broken.

Mr. Gormakh, if you want to feel what true US Socialism is like I’d suggest you move your bagel shop to Los Angeles.

On the other hand, if you want to feel what true US capitalism is like I’d suggest you move your bagel shop to South Carolina or Texas.

[jimsin]

THIS is a little off topic and falls in the FYI re sesame....dep’t
If you have not used ROASTED SESAME OIL as a seasoning DO IT. It is great stuff, it tastes, as you might imagine, like liquid roasted sesame seeds...a little goes a long way it is strong i put it on lots of things including subs and any chineese take out i buy. Give it a try on anything.. you’ll be glad you did.....sorry for straying here ...

Back in the day, these busy-body bureaucrats would have been tarred and feathered and then run out of town.

I want that America back.
