A New Sign, please?

The sign seen in Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant today:

You know, seeing as this is a self-serve buffet style restaurant, I’d actually prefer if everyone washed their hands before leaving and going back out there to touch what may very well be my food.

This sign has always caused me to pause and reflect on the fact that there are people that really need the reminder that they should wash their hands after using the toilet.

Then, there is the fact that it clearly focuses on employees, as if to say “oh, you are just a patron that will be touching the ketchup, mustard, salt & pepper shakers, and various other condiments that we rarely disinfect? No worries, you are free to go!  Actually, thanks, that saves us $$ on the ol’ water bill & from having to refill the soap dispensers!”

Yes, I know that some lame-ass somewhere down the road used the excuse “oh, I didn’t know I had to wash my hands” and therefore companies had to dole out money for signs to state the obvious.  And I know that there are good reasons for the signs to be there, but damn it, it’s my blog & I want to be a stinker!
