Talking about it here won't change things.

You could have told her that it bothers you to see her not wash her hands after using the bathroom.

Or you could have just imagined she peed and positioned the toilet paper not to touch her personal area.

These things are taught children in the first five years and now little ones are with caregivers that most parents would not give their car keys to.

I understand your concern, but I will still go to restaurants to eat. We have all survived several decades with this probably happening a lot.

Well, now that I have read this entire thread, Graciegirls reply post is still the perfect response. I just don’t see any benefit of complaining about everything.
My next door neighbor has a brass bird under a tree. I know it breaks a rule, but I would rather think about the joy it brings my neighbor.

So you watched someone NOT was their hands. How about all of the ones you did NOT see that did not wash their hands? Life is full of risk..just enjoy.

One hint to make sure towels are used and discarded properly is to leave the can without a lid. Believe it or not, more people will get the towels in the can if there is no lid on it. This way they do not have to touch the can at all.

I agree. Threads about restaurant complaints and complements are very informative and interesting. And, I wonder if a bad review on this forum may be more beneficial than a complaint to the restaurant manager.

But.......I would not expect customers to prepare or touch food that is served to other customers.

It used to just be a sewing pattern company, and a magazine.

Anyway -

I grew up playing in dirt, along with all the kids in the neighborhood. We picked worms up out of the ground and played with them, we picked up toads, polywogs, drank river water, made mud pies, and a few of us ate crayons. Mom used to give us a pinch of raw meat when she was making the meatloaf, as treats before supper. She also made kick-ass caesar salad dressing from scratch - using a raw egg.

Then when I was old enough to work, I spent the better part of the following 40 years of my life in retail as a cashier - touching peoples' money for a living.

I'm not going to worry about who is washing what, as long as I don't see anything on their hands that shouldn't be there.

You must never go to Spanish Springs, it's a popular place been here 20 years. It's around the corner from Katie Belles and connected to the Bowling Alley. A couple of years ago I stopped in on a Saturday and there must of been a 100 Ohio State fans watching a game, but I understand it's a Buffalo Bills hangout. They also have live Blues Music certain nights of the week. They're noted for their fried chicken.

It's the best bowling alley restaurant I've ever been to.

Food Handlers Cause Most Food-Poisoning Cases – WebMD
Late correction, but the link for this comment is not referencing most food poisoning. It is specific to norovirus which is just one of the myriad causes of food poisoning. And more, it is specific to norovirus infections on cruise ships only representing 0.1% of outbreaks. Norovirus can be spread by food handlers but also by hand shaking, surfaces, fresh fruits and veggies etc.

This is another of your excellent and positive posts. Everyone raves about the fried chicken and the Buckeye fans.
