I just re-read some of this thread to see what was going on for it to be brought back.
EvilBeth makes a good point and I guess when I said fast food I should have said what she said.
No matter how much you pay or what kind of resturant you can not be sure that every employee is washing their hands or that they don’t have other bad habits.
Heck, even when you make stuff at home you have no idea if the people who prepared the fixings at whatever plant washed their hands.
My hands are so dry from washing them everytime I touch anything that is not bologna. If we touch boxes we wash, if we touch our glasses we wash.
The slicers, peelers, base placers and inspectors wear latex gloves and have to change them anytime they touch anything.
Even with all that I still see people leave the bathroom without washing!
Leander, most of my stories are more visual stuff. Like what it looks like when you get a package chewed to bits cause it was caught in the trimmer and it left all mushy and oily and I have the lucky job of cleaning it all up.
I suppose one of the reasons I don’t care to eat lunch meat is because I have to look at it for 30 some odd hours a week. I get to see it frozen solid, smell it burnt, smell it at all really.
I won’t eat hot dogs either but sometimes the department right next to mine smells like a campfire which on occation isn’t a bad thing.
