One of the priority violations at Cody's recently was that the servers didn't wash their hands after clearing tables but before picking up new plates. Restaurants generally have sinks next to the drop-off area for dirty dishes that servers are supposed to use after unloading. Do I think they're all stopping to scrub up multiple times per hour? Nope. (Although I imagine they'd want to after handling plates with strangers' mouth germs, paper napkins that have been used to blow noses, etc.)
It's all gross. I assume I've built up a lot of general immunity over the decades but still try not to think about germs too much lest I become paralyzed. The last time I had a bit of an upset stomach after eating, it was a salad I fixed myself.
I do wear a face mask when I go to the doctor's to try to avoid colds and flu. One guy got a little offended even though as a pulmonologist he should know from coughing. By the way, he didn't wash his hands before examining me.
