I got to admit, I am sort of (very) picky when it comes to cleanliness at eating places. My wife tells me at times to chill out, but i cannot help it.
I walk into let say today during work lunch, Sushi Boy (not alot of eating variety near where i work) i see the guy in the kitchen sweeping with a broom and a dark grubby towel in hand. As soon as I order something with a california roll in it with the cashier girl, the guy drops his broom and goes directly to where the rolls are and with his bare hands without even washing handles them.
I smile, say sorry, and i just walk out...
At restaurants where they keep the silverware rolled up in the hankerchiefs, I always give the silverware a good wipe down, and sometimes i would even ask for a wedge of lemon, spray it on the silverware and then give it a wipe down.
I used to work at a restaurant so i know how unclean the silverware is: at the end of the night, you count your tips, clean your station, collect all dirty dishes and silverware with who knows saliva stuck on it, and have to roll out a batch of silverware in the hankerchiefs all with your bare sweaty hands. No one concerns enough to go wash their hands before rolling the silverware....
At fast food establishments, after i order, i am consummated with watching who is going to prepare my food, where he/she has been prior, and how it is being prepared. any unacceptable action like the cashier going back and helping out to make a burger with his hands that touched the register and possibly some cash, i go to once in awhile to the point of asking them to make a certain item over again but this time with clean hands.
i know i cant prevent all uncleanliness and i know sometimes it is best to go with ignorance is bliss policy and just dont stress over all of it, but who can relate to me and what extremes do you go and what pet peeves do you have about in regards to uncleanliness/unsanitariness?
