Original story:It's been a rough week for the Chick-fil-A on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.
On Friday, an elderly woman drove through a wall of the Duluth restaurant, injuring a diner. On Monday, the fast food chicken joint failed a routine health inspection.
The Chick-fil-A location earned a 67/U on its health inspection, county records show. An employee was seen slicing lemons for lemonade with their bare hands, and the lemons had to be thrown in the trash, according to the report. Cut lettuce in a walk-in cooler did not reach a safe temperature — below 41 degrees Fahrenheit — within four hours, and also had to be thrown out, the report said.
