Amazingly, this is the normal state of affairs of the condition of the Clifton Jimmy Johns.  If you value your health, avoid the Clifton Jimmy Johns in Cincinnati, Ohio.

UPDATE:  Recently, the Board of Health returned to the Clifton Jimmy Johns.  The repair to the sink was successfully completed, due to the fact that they would be fined and possibly closed down if they had not repaired the water.  Jimmy Johns only does repairs and spends money when forced to, not out of a duty to their customers.

Remember, you can call the Board of Health in Cincinnati if you feel the Clifton Jimmy Johns is in violation of health standards.  Call them at 513-564-1751.
