It's a building code violation for a reason. I shouldn't have to make a choice of whether to risk my health or go to a different restaurant.
I couldn't disagree more.

When you are warned you have the option of patronizing that business or not.

I have had several jobs where I worked around and with dangerous chemicals.

To work there I was given the information on material data safety sheets explaining each chemical that was used or handled at that facility. I had the option to work there or not.

Having the ability to make an informed choice is all the difference in the world.
