:laugh: at you people who "YES, ALWAYS!!!"
I assume none of you has ever eaten at a fast food restaurant - never eaten at McD's, BK, etc. Or, do you want me to believe that you pay for your food, tell the cashier "I'll be right back", run to the bathroom, wash your hands, then come back to get your food.
Or, do you leave your food in the lobby and take turns with whoever you're there with guarding the food while you all run to the bathroom to wash your hands.
Honestly, when I worked in a restaurant, I washed my hands frequently, and wore latex gloves before handling food. But, in over 20 years of experience, I have observed very very very few people who washed their hands before they ate. Most of you are lying about your hygiene. But why? Who really cares? That's why you have an immune system.
(Wasn't there a recent medical case where someone ended up losing a limb to flesh eating bacteria that probably came from money?)
