Rats run on Dunkin at Back Bay station, city finds

WCVB reports a Boston health inspector shut the Dunkin' inside Back Bay station this week after finding scads of violations, which is forcing Dunk's customers to walk all the way to Boylston and Exeter for their daily fix - since the station no longer has two separate Dunk's outlets.

Among the "gross unsanitary conditions" that the inspector said posed an "imminent health risk" were "multiple rat droppings." More specifically:

Live cockroach observed on the side of drawer refrigerator unit at the sandwich station. Multiple rat droppings observed in between the wall and dishwasher (dishwasher area), between the wall and donut display unit, at the counter under drink cups.

Also:

Floor under all equipment and throughout the establishment obseved soiled, floor by the back door observed oderous from urine smell, vent above sandwich station observed soiled from visible dust.

Workers were not washing their hands, but if they had been, they had no paper towels with which to dry them, were not changing gloves between tasks and they appeared to have no clue about basic sanitation, the inspection states. And:

Interior and exterior of multiple refrigeration unit observed soiled from visible food spills, different pump bottles observed soiled from visible food spills, express machine, milk dispenser, drink dispenser, donuts display, counter top, coffe machine, coffee dispenser, sandwich station cutting board, shelvings , interior and exterior of ice holder and ice dispenser, in between equipments observed soiled from visible food spills and soils accumulation.

The outlet will be allowed to re-open once it passes a re-inspection and submits proof it has somebody in charge who can ensure proper sanitary food handling is going on.
