Wow. This just changed my perception.
There are freaks where I work who even after going through a pandemic, still don’t fucking wash their hands. Nasty af.
Thanks Kyle, you’re a real one
Yeaaaah… those signs are needed. I recall hand washing is fairly common still, like 3/4th (favoring women) but that’s not universal.
Looking it up, that’s about right but apparently only 30% of men use soap? Wtf, lol
That cant be right, I hope thats not right
From what I’ve seen, that’s optimistic unfortunately. But it seems to be dependent on the region / country.
By my anecdotal experience, seems to me men in poorer countries wash their hands way more than those in wealthier countries too.
With all due respect, my penis is the cleanest thing in a public restroom. I wash it twice a day.
That is definitely the excuse common among people who do not wash their hands.
It’s not true in any way but its very pithy.
I work with a lot of grease and oils and whatnot, I have to wash my hands before I piss, and unless I piss on my hand, there’s not much need to wash them again.
Though I don’t work around food, which is important.
First time I saw that sign I was baffled, as in most other countries I’ve been to it’s illegal for employees to use the same facilities as guests. Then I got a bit grossed out thinking of the fact that employees apparently need to be reminded to wash their hands.
Now think about how many are forgetting in countries where this isn’t required.
That’s illegal in most places? Never knew that! In Japan, a lot of toilets in stores have signs saying “Employees may use this toilet too. Thank you for your understanding.” I’ve always been baffled by these signs and considered them unnecessary because isn’t it normal for employees to go to the toilet too? I didn’t even know that this can be illegal in some countries.
The last air BNB I had that was connected to the sewer service and still demanded the visitors use the garbage can and “not flush anything that didn’t come out of you.”
I’m not going to pay for the privilege of smelling everyone’s shitty paper, having to clean everything and still get ass fucked by fines.
Fuck that crazy shit air BNB got stupid, I’ll never use that shit again.
There’s a ton of places that can’t handle toilet paper in their sewage systems.
Seems more likely this is because they have visitors from places with poor sewage who default to tossing toilet paper in the trash.
Far more common to see signs saying what cannot be flushed.
This was at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Massachusetts.
America has some of the worst public utilities in the world.
Then again, they say do flush it, so I’m guessing theirs can handle it but they have a large immigrant population from somewhere that cannot who is used to not flushing it.
Rural people or people on septic too.
Reread the sign.
“MUST BE FLUSHED IN THE TOILET. PLEASE DO NOT THROW THEM IN THE TRASH CAN.”
Idk if they’re on septic or main, but regardless the issue on the sign is that it CAN, nay MUST be flushed NOT thrown in the trash.
Therefore, “nuh uh.”
They don’t need to be reminded.
It’s just that all hand wash stations need to be marked. And while there might be employee restrooms. It’s not outside the realm of reason that they might need to use the customer one. Hence it gets sign posted.
One must imagine employeed washing hands.
What countries do you know of where that’s the actual law?
It’s usually preferred if there’s room for separate ones, but at the same time I’m pretty sure in almost every country I’ve visited I can remember examples of little bars and cafés where there’s a single tiny bathroom shared by customers and employees alike.
I only know for certain it’s by law in Norway, and I suppose I just assumed it was for other European countries, too, since a shared bathroom is rarely to be seen.
That’s interesting. I have never been to Norway. Why do they feel the need to separate the workers and guest bathrooms like that? Is it like a class thing? In the us we have that too in super fancy places but I always got the vibe it’s because the clientele felt like they were better than the people who waited on them lol.
We have this in the gay community but not with hands
Aw crap saw the sign when visiting the USA, I thought it was meant to reassure me. Surely they must wash their hand
You would think so. But I’ve been at a small local cafe and watched a guy from the kitchen walk into and out of the bathroom still wearing the same blue nitrile gloves. Immediately noped out and left because that’s just fucking gross
Health inspection report?
Have you ever worked in the food industry because it really sounds like you’ve never worked in the food industry.
If I saw such a sign, I would be even more worried. As they say, every sign has a story behind
The story is that it’s mandatory for food service places and a lot of others as well.
Not super interesting.
The fact that we have to make “wash your hands after using the bathroom” mandatory with signs in every single bathroom kinda explains how COVID spread so fast to begin with.
It’s security theater and nothing more. They can make as many rules as they want to, but it’s not easy to enforce unless you have someone there observing at all times. Putting the signs there shifts all responsibility off everyone except the individual
It’s really the only way to guarantee clean hands.
Sign from Thank Goodness You’re Here:
Employees must wash teeth
Is like doing a loss is a must now.
