Letter: ‘Thai Tom’ story was illuminating

August 27, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly

To the Editor,

It didn’t surprise me that Thai Tom was cited for its fifth health code violation in three years [as reported in issue 32]. I ate there a few weeks ago. I wouldn’t go back even though the food was exceptional.Why? When I asked the waitress and owner to turn down the noisy stereo as a disability accommodation (I am hard of hearing and wear hearing aids, and thus, I could not hear my companion), they refused.

Now as a result of your article, I am going to check the Seattle & King County’s Food Protection Program website at www.decadeonline.com before eating out.

I figure an establishment that won’t follow the health code is likely to not be accommodating toward those with disabilities.
