"Wash your hands!!"

[customersruinmylife]

Some idiot ripped off one of the hand-driers off the gents toilet walls. I was in the middle of repairing it. I had just reattached it to the wall, and was currently in the middle of filling in the cracks that had been left.

A customer came into the gents, and seemed to be absolutely fascinated by what I was doing. He stared at me for about a minute, then went to use a urinal. After he had finished, he came back over, and noticed that some of the filler had got on my hands.

SC: Make sure you wash your hands when you're done! I don't want you serving people food and drink if you've got all that stuff all over them. It's disgusting!

He stormed out of the gents...without washing his hands.

I'll rule out Department of Health worker.

Hypocrisy at it's finest, ladies and gentlemen!

I loathe hypocrisy, btw. I wish I could've been there to confront the guy.

I actually had something like this, but unfortunately, the situation was reversed.

In the restroom, I finish up. I'm standing at the sink, washing my hands, and tidying up and our server walks in. She uses the restroom (complete with audio) and leaves the rest room, without washing her hands! I run to the door after her and SHOUT down the hallway toward the seating area, "Hey, you didn't wash your hands!"

I went back to our table and told my friends that we would not be eating there and why. The manager saw us leaving and wanted to know why and I told him, pointing out our server.

HE DEFENDED HER!
Said that she probably washed them at the handwash station in the kitchen before she picked up her next order.

I responded by telling him that his customers don't know about the handwash station in the kitchen and there are signs in the restroom REMINDING employees to wash their hands.

We don't eat there anymore!

Ugh, I am always amazed at the people who leave the restroom without washing their hands even though other people are standing there staring at them. Real classy.

The worst was at work though, I was in the bathroom and there was a woman and a little girl in the next stall. The woman kept saying, "Don't touch the wall, it's dirty. Don't touch the floor, it's dirty. Don't touch the toilet paper holder, it's dirty." You get the idea.

Then they left. Without washing their hands. I guess she figured they didn't touch anything 'dirty', so why bother?

I wouldn't, especially if this was a really *picky* one. I have found that, all too often, people who look for problems in others often tend to ignore those same problems in themselves.

I have a friend that never washes her hands when she uses a public restroom. I finally asked her why and she said because the sinks are disgusting and washing her hands will not make them more clean just more dirty

I've heard this about the air dryers, but I doubt it's true about just water...

more along the lines of why I wont if it has an air dryer 20 seconds and I turned on the faucet with dirty hands. bleh.

I work in the resturant business and actually the workers are supposed to wash their hands twice. Once when you are finished with your business and once when you enter the kitchen area. There are way too many germs on bathroom door handles!! I like to have sanitizing wipes with me if I am out and about or I use my paper towel that I dried my hands with to touch the door handle. I have been to way too many Serv Safe classes!! So I am real anal about handwashing!!

[Broomjockey]

Actually, it's true. The toilet's probably going to be the cleanest thing in the bathroom. Everyone who uses the sink touches it before they wash their hands, depositing germs, then again after they wash, picking up germs and depositing moisture. Further, they then touch the door handle on the way out, leaving more germs. The most sanitary washrooms are the ones that have a bent corridor instead of a door for privacy, and touchless sinks.

Oh, and if the soap dispensers are refillable? Those are full of germs too. After all, no one washes before they fill the soap dispenser.

Were you using the pub parrot to fill in the cracks?

We were told as concessionists at Harkins to just wash our hands in the backroom in the concession area instead of washing them in the bathroom too since we were just going to have to do it again. The only suck I see is that they had the employee sign up but then that might just be an old sign that they've had up before they got a handwash station. I'm not trying to attack you but I think you might have overreacted if what the manager said about her washing her hands at the station was true.

This thread reminds of the two types of men that use the restroom. The first type washes his hands before he pees so he won't get his penis dirty. The other type washes his hands after he pees because he thinks his penis is dirty.

[dalesys]

Reminds me of the old swabbie/jarhead joke:

Swabbie: Didn't your mother teach you to wash your hands?!

Jarhead: My mother taught me not to piss on them.
