Food delivery drivers want to quit because of low tips

More food delivery drivers say they want to quit because customers are stiffing them on tips. According to the New York Times, drivers who work for companies like DoorDash and Uber Eats say they can't make ends meet if people don't tip enough.

Rodent activity found during a health inspection forced three Orlando restaurants to shut down temporarily, according to recent inspection reports provided by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation. 

The local restaurants were all cited for having more than a dozen violations, including high-priority violations which could contribute directly to a foodborne illness or injury. 

Black Rock Bar & Grill

The steakhouse restaurant located at 8965 Conroy Windermere Road was temporarily closed after health inspectors found 24 violations during a Sept. 15 routine inspection. 

Inspectors counted at least 90 rodent droppings at the restaurant: 50+ on the floor in the dry storage area, 10 in the base of the soda station in the dining room and 30+ on the bar floor.

The restaurant later met inspection standards during a follow-up visit.
