The only people who can handle food I eat are ones that I know.

It's just rude for strangers to be touching your food, and yes cashiers should NOT be handling food that is disgusting.

She had been handling money her entire shift. From how many people?

Do you realize how filthy money is?

What else in that building did her hands touch before it touched your food?

People who handle food should only do so when wearing gloves. I understand the owner is cheap and does not want to pay for employees to wear disposable gloves like most other ice cream places do.

So fiesta, are you saying that it would be OK for the workers at subway to make your subs without wearing gloves? It's the same concept really.

Maybe we just wont go there......

Easy solution here. Use a card.

As always in a pay first restaurant, I get the money handling over with, wash my hands, then eat.
It's different for people working in the kitchen because they do not handle money. There are rules covering hand washing for food handlers. Why is this?
I've seen some pretty grungy looking customers at the Yadkin Dairy Freeze. No telling WHERE their hands have been, but I have a pretty good idea.
Do you really want them putting their hands in your mouth?
There's not a lot of difference unless our money has some secret germicide implanted that I'm not aware of.

I was asking did you pay for your ice cream cone, go wash you hands after touching the money you paid with, and then came back to get your ice cream cone? The point is you handled the same money too.

People tend to think they are cleaner than other people even after handling the same dirty stuff. It was just something to think about.

If I planned to lick the entire grocery buggy then yes, I would indeed sanitize it.
As for the food going in the buggy, there is usually a wrapper or container between it and the buggy, so it can't be contaminated.

stringbean, are that much of a germophobe that someone touching an ice cream cone freaks you out? I pray to God that you don't go out to eat often, you'd lose your freakin mind if you saw what goes on in some restaurant kitchens.
I would also venture to guess you're one of those people that will wipe down your entire grocery buggy with those sanitizer wipes as well.

I always wash my hands before eating, as anyone would with any concern over what enters their body.
After putting the ice cream in the cone, she then got a paper, wrapped it around the cone and handed it to me.
Sorry but it's too late then, I've already saw what happened.
Once before at another place I saw this, and I refused to eat that one too.

It appears that hole has not been inspected since july of last year. I would make a call to the health department.

Did you wash your hands after handling the money you used to pay with?

I just got back from a visit there where I observed the same person that was tending the cash register, take a ice cream cone in her bare hand, put ice cream in it, then expect for me to eat it.
When I brought this to her attention, she threw it in the trash can.
The boss saw what was going on and asked what the problem was.
I was then informed that everyones hands in there were clean.
Perhaps I am being ridiculous about this but I do not want the same hands that touch money, touching my food.
BTW, I left without my ice cream or the money I paid for it, but the owner can forget about one of his little red baskets, because unless someone there digs through the trash tonight, it will never be seen again.
