Mmm tasty! Health inspectors fired for faking it

They were supposed to be on the job, fighting filth and E coli in Fort Wayne restaurants.
The Fort Wayne Five picked up pink slips instead, and even those who tried to resign ahead of their firings still got "would have been fired anyway" marked on their permanent records...
All five inspectors, including Elaine Pruitt, Larry Schmoekel and Jeff Smith, took long lunches – often in excess of two hours – and ran personal errands on work time, according to probe findings.Can't you just see those cute little inspector faces, crammed into booths at some Perkins off the interstate, lingering over French Silk pie, while the cooks in the kitchen are taking turns sneezing into their food?
I've worked in a few restaurants. I eat in pretty much all the time. Those two statements are connected. There are just some things people were not meant to know, especially when the entrée costs $48.99. Scary stuff.
