Curious if any other hechsher allows such a setup, customers at the same table ordering from 3 separate kitchens? If you are makpid on CY keilim would you eat there?

Why can't someone just ask Magrov instead of this confusion?

as a general rule when a Rav Hamachshir pulls his hashgocho the owner usually says "it's politics". What should he say? My lettuce has bugs? I don't want to do the process the hashgocho wants?

That is all fine and dandy when we have a concrete reason from the hechsher about why it was removed. I have not yet heard any. Has anyone else heard anything concrete?

Also of note there is another reputable Hashgocho continuing uninterrupted on Pos'tiv
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

dono if true but i heard in the coffee room that postiv was sold to investors, the investors wanted to make if profitable by cutting down on what postiv was known to be good for

for example they used to wash the leaves twice, the new owners cut it down to only once etc, .......

I heard more but everything is rumors
