SANFORD, Fla. -- Eyewitness News discovered a popular Sanford fast food restaurant that's accused of storing food on the floor inside the men's restroom. The food that was left on the floor in the restroom was just one of several critical violations health inspectors found at a Checkers location in Sanford.
Employees at the Checkers store on South French Avenue at West 15th Street apparently decided it was okay to store buns for their hamburgers inside a not-so-clean men's room.
Tuesday, it appeared they had changed the policy, but not before racking up a dozen health code violations.
"The bread was stacked sky high to the ceiling, plus it was only about 12 inches from the men's commode," said former customer Willie Jones.
Checker's goes through a lot of hamburger buns at its drive-thru restaurants. It's hard to even think about what might happen to those buns in a tiny, smelly and dirty bathroom. One customer told Eyewitness News he didn't like the manager's reaction to his complaint about the bread box-bathroom stall combination.
"'You got the bread in the men's restroom.' She got angry with me. She got T'd off and she locked the door," Jones said.
Health officials didn't settle for that solution, forcing the store to throw away all of it.Unfortunately, they don't know how long the Sanford Checkers kept both bread and cups in a bathroom that was quickly cleaned as Eyewitness News arrived Tuesday.

Disgusting. (And Checkers [not Sanford] is my favorite local Fast Food Burger place.)
Wasn't that a Squirrel Nut Zipper's song?
One time at Golden Corral one of the waitresses took a bread basket into the public women’s room to gossip with a coworker. I was so upset, that was my favorite part of the restaurant....the hot rolls.
Not anymore. The manager was a friend so I did let him know.
Classic
“The bread was stacked sky high to the ceiling, plus it was only about 12 inches from the men’s commode,”
That’s gonna cause problems for those with wide stances.
The manager’s probably a McCain voter....
It was left there as TP in this VERY high-class joint.
eeeewwwwwwww....
(were the rolls soggy?)
Now that this is on Drudge i don’t imagine this restaurant will be around for much longer.
Also, I notice they don't use microwaves, I think that helps w/taste, they use purple onions too.
I don't get that, "Quick, where's the bathroom feeling..", that I get from Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's , etc.
I know that feeling! :)
I never heard of Checkers. I’m from the Boston area, None around here.
Always a very quick drive through, much faster than any other I experienced, even during busy times (they manage to open two lanes, brilliant!).
This same company owns Rally’s Hamburger chain.
Witnesses told the TV station that hamburger buns were routinely stacked "sky high" in the dirty, smelly men's room at the restaurant.
I just telephoned the Checker's restaurant tonight, and asked if they were still open? "Till 3AM and please come by and see us", the guy responded.
Rally’s?
I gotta get out more often....:)
