As a repair plumber,I have worked behind the scenes in a lot of restaurants. I quit eating out about twenty years ago,they are all nasty. When I’m out of town for a tourney, I take microwave meals and my own oven and coffee pot.
So how was the fishing on the mud hole
Three weeks ago it was dynamite! Friends caught more than 20 one day, with one nearly 10 pounds. And, two other days that week a friend of theirs caught two over 8 pounds. My thinking was to go earlier this year, hoping to find a few larger fish, rather than waiting another month and catching more, but smaller, fish. It sounded like a good idea at the time!
The fishing was OK, but not great, until the cold front hit. Then, it was worse than terrible. The rolling mud meant that the only clear water was in the black water ponds. Some decent fish bit there before the front. But, afterwards, they either left or completely shut down.
I'm heading back down at the end of March. Hopefully, the water will have settled out by then.

Stopped at a little burger joint to get lunch. Ordered a pastrami sandwich. Guy that took my order was also the cook. So I pay and he walks over to the grill and throws my meat on. Then a customer asks him for the key to the bathroom. He hands the guy a big stick with a key attached. The guy goes to the bathroom and brings the stick back. The cook takes it from him and hangs it back up. Then grabs a bag of rolls and takes mine out and sets them on the grill. I walked away.
My fav was hitting the local donut shop to get donuts for the crew. Guy behind the counter is wearing black jeans. When he turns around to point out donuts you could see clearly where he had been digging in his butt by all the powered sugar finger marks. I told him “Changed my mind”, and never went back there.
NOT hungry now !!
A nice start would have been to tell the manager before you left.
Back in college I work for a linen company. The cleanest fast food restaurants were KFC's, Waffle House, Bob Evans, Cracker Barrel and McDonald's. The worst were Perkins, any mid to high-falutin restaurants and golf country clubs... They were a just plain nasty... Most places would offer you a bite to eat, I'd just say thanks and ask for a drink... Dan

I was taking a leak at a nice restaurant when a big dude rushed in, huffing and puffing, and started taking a dump as he was sitting. It sounded like a volcano erupting, stunk like a dead cow. He was pulling his pants up as he burst out the stall door, headed straight to the kitchen The manager was standing pretty close to me, so I told him what I witnessed. He turned red as a beet, apologized profusely, and went to the big guy who by then was taking a tray of bread out of the oven. I got my crew and we left. I can't remember the name of the restaurant, but they were very proud of their hot rolls. It wasn't Lambert's...

How bored are you man? You went to a Hardee's. Surely you didn't have high expectations of cleanliness. Taking the time to call Hardee's then the Health Dept seems like you could apply your time a bit better?
I'm retired and don't have to report to anyone about how I use my time. I don't care where anyone eats, they should not have to eat fecal matter that is on an employee's hands from failing to wash after taking a dump. Reporting the incident to the proper authorities was the least I could do.
