| - The Southern Nevada Health District (abbreviated SNHD) of Henderson is both an inconvenient tax and Communism in the shadows of the Las Vegas Strip. It is a gloomy place where there is no beverage allowed, no cell phone allowed, no respect from the employees (at least that I interacted with), and after reading this review: no stars!
An inconvenient tax:
From my perspective, the food handler safety card online course is an inconvenient tax. Another example of the Government nickel and diming the workers that abide by the laws. Seriously, does the SNHD need to force somebody to waste hours of their time and $40 excluding the late fee they are quick to add to learn that you need to wash your hands for 15 seconds prior to using a paper towel to open the door, you don't put a chicken over a tray of cupcakes, you need to wash a thermometer after dropping it, and so on? The answer is ,"No." This is common sense information that the employer could reiterate to the employee through training, signing, and even a pamphlet. And if you want to nickel and dime workers, at least give the option of a real instructor teaching this material. Not everybody is computer savvy.
Communism in the shadows of the Las Vegas Strip:
When I entered the gloomy indoor space of the SNHD, a badly qualified, resentful security guard and old troll (yes there are real trolls offline) greeted me with coldness. The security guard quickly initiated me to all the prohibitions of the SNHD. He told me that no soda is allowed but I could leave it in my car. It was cool outside and I'll bring it to my car. Keep in mind at this time, I am the only non employee here and I'm standing at the entrance. However the resentful security guard made me go out of my way to the exit. I could see the pleasure in his face by having the power to make somebody walk out of the way.
Further into the waiting rooms of Communism, I filled out an application under another security guard's eyes. I shouldn't complain that one counter was open. It is my understanding there was for awhile one SNHD office processing cards. When I was waiting, I was thinking, "why no beverages or cell phones allowed? "
Misery seems contagious here. Too bad SNHD doesn't give shots to stop misery. The woman who processed my card, kind of talked down to me when I asked with a Bob Newhart cool tone, "So the $15 is for being a day late?" This brings up another issue. If many people work mornings and mid shift, "why do SNHD offices at the latest close at 5:30?"
In this miserable place, the simplest thing is a process. Even picture taking. The woman who processed my card takes pictures of people all day long. So, do you need me to stand up to see if my chair is against the wall of the cubicle? And then when I parted with $35 (paid $20 with c.c. for online course), it was a process for the cashier to present me with $5 change.
Conclusion:
This SNHD office is repulsive. The disdain that the employees I interacted with showed toward myself and the public nauseated me. So, using the analogy that I am working on a painting of a nighttime sky called SNHD, I'd give it zero stars and a full moon.
