Whats more disgusting/disturbing is that when you handle the gasoline dispenser and jump back into your car without using a wet wipe/disinfectant of some sort and carry on your day, just think about that... Also, touching that door/door handle on the way out has just reintroduced the little nasties back onto your hands, elbow etc.

I encourage my patients to bring along with them in their vehicles a disinfectant of some sort. Just for any occasion.

Unfortunately it can be. I make my people wash both in the restroom and when they get back to the kitchen or serving area. If they don't they get written up. 3rd time and they're done. Companies can have pretty strict handwashing guidlines in place, but it's really up to local managment to enforce it. That being said, if you can identify the manager, and they are working along side and interacting with their crew in a professional manner, it's probably pretty safe. Another good indicator is the condition of the dining area. Unless it is in the middle of a rush or they are clearly understaffed (and workers aren't just standing around), a messy lobby is a red flag.

The hand dryers that are in most public restrooms, just blow bacteria out, it's disgusting.

No worries they got sinks in the kitchen hopefully hand sanitizer. Who am I kidding it's a total crap shoot. Trust in your autoimmune system and try not to think about it.

I'm sorry but I think I would have sought out the manager.

Maybe I would not have singled them out.

But that is disgusting and can make someone really sick.

Where you in a restaurant?..if not.then whats your point?

Did you eat at the food service after your bathroom experience?

Unbelievable. I'm amazed at how many times I see this where I work. Amazed and disgusted. Pot luck? I think not. LOL!

OMG! you should have mentioned that to the manager. I worked in the billing office of one of our hospitals. The onboarding training included a video on proper hand hygiene and I was told it is annual training. So one day I noticed a coworker come out of the stall and leave without washing her hands. I avoided taking papers from her after that. Ewwww.

It’s worse than that.

That needs to be reported to the employer.

As soon as you use the handle or push the door you're getting the germs back.

I hope you reported him.

I just wonder when the Americans stoped basic hygene?

Shouldn't be typical - food code violation at minimum. But can't help but suspect he wasn't doing his business, but perhaps on a smoke or other substance break? So didn't think he needed to wash his hands? Pure speculation.

Most food industry folks seem to have raw hands from washing them so often....even if they wear gloves.

I know what you mean. I've seen people walk out after doing an No. 2 and not wash hands. It's disgusting.

I'm not a clean freak, I've gone camping for 10 days and not had a shower, using a hole as a toilet, etc. But if I have the chance to wash my hands I do it, especially before food prep.

More typical than you want to think.
I actively try to not touch anything in public.
Buffets ? No. Way.

Of you think that's bad don't send food back to the cook.

What you really need to worry about. [dailymotion.com]
