I'm guessing no one took even one second to realize what an odor code would actually do because as described, it's immediately obvious.

It definitely sounds like a "No wait, not like that" reaction to the obvious consequence.

I didn’t read the article but I wonder if this was malicious compliance to draw attention to a bad law.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I don’t mind what Dong’s smells like.

I wonder if it was some idiot just upset over meat smell.

Here's the original article I came across.

Hopefully they can re-open... also gold star for whomever wrote this headline:

"City, state leaders think odor code that closed Portland Vietnamese restaurant doesn’t pass smell test"
