Errrrrrr: Poo/Wee/Snot - On your fast food ordering tablets

[SupraAyf]

All I can say is "errrrrrrrrrr".

 

Mrs Ayf and I were off at the weekend looking for new stuff to purchase when it came that time to pull over and have a coffee.

 

I quite like the latte drink at McDonald's which is just as well as that was the only coffee-place available.

 

Well, we park up, pop inside and immdediatly take a beeline for the loo; both washing our hands before leaving. In the loo there was a grubby guy who had clearly stunk the place out (errrr, :faint:) only to see him vacate the cubicle, without washing his paws, and head straight out to order his food via the electronic gadgety-thing.

 

Just think of the germs you would find on those electronic devices in McDonald's if you were to swab them and examine the samples. I bet there are some real nasty little bugs on those screens so we headed to the ordering till (the one with a real person - for now) instead of ordering electronically.

 

I then looked over to see a little girl picking her nose and eating a Happy Meal while playing on the in-store iPads.

 

This can't be hygienic for a food place, can it?

Where you went wrong was entering Mc Donalds.

 

Looking at some of the people behind the counter I reckon swabbing the tills or the packet of your "Mc double food poisoning" would be just as bad

Its not just McDs. Six years ago my wife came down with Typhoid and was quite close to dying. Took them ages to diagnose the problem by which time she was well into the third and often fatal phase of the illness. Took so long to diagnose because we hadn't been out of the UK for a few months and as such Typhoid wasn't on the list of things they were looking for.

 

The incubation period of typhoid is consistent and various phases of the illness can be used as markers, it turned out that the only place she had been to during the period that she must of picked up the illness was a buffet place in Chinatown. Worrying as its an arse to mouth type of bacteria transfer, public health were involved as its a notifiable illness and came to the conclusion that the most likely cause was a carrier had been for a crap and not washed his/her hands and then came out in to the restaurant and handled the food/tongs/door handles etc. Nice

Sadly far too many people have bugger all personal hygene.

 

I'm shocked how many men don't was their hands after going to the toilet, one in my local recently actually pretended to

which left me gob smacked.

 

If you think about it too much you'd never go out to eat or drink would you, makes me cringe

[Frank Bullitt]

I've seen a guy blowing his nose into a wad of money in a shop, what on earth possesses someone to do that in the first place is beyond me. As Dunk says people have no personal hygiene at all.

Now think about the supermarket trolley, door handles of shops or shopping baskets. You would be surprised what you find on those Worst thing is my missus thinks women are getting just as bad

Remember Top Gear when they checked the 3 second hand cars they bought !!!!!!

[Frank Bullitt]

The BMW's? Skin, scabs, snot, blood, pubic hairs and poo wasn't it?

I won't touch the handles on the doors on way out of public loos, if it's a push door I'll use my foot, if it's a pull handle i'll put cuff of my shirt or top round as least bit of handle as possible so don't have to 'touch' it, because as you say and particular in a food pub or restaurant it's staggering how many people don't wash. If it sounds OCD I don't give a stuff.

We've not eaten there for a long time but what we do sometimes is stop off for a coffee to help wash down our homemade sarnies.

 

I saw a young guy a few years ago in his mustard coloured outfit giving his nose a good clean out while making a burger and it put me off. The food gives me a jiffy tummy if I eat more than a nugget so there must be something of questionable heritage in there.

That sounds very nasty indeed Shane. Mind you, there were a few fatties in the Maccies that I visited the other day that could have done with a dose to help them reduce their fat-mass. Those people took the 'Supersize Me' Documentary quite literally.

Not OCD at all - I use the very top of the door because the number of 'grubsters' around is shocking and the handles must be rank.

 

It looks to me as if a McDonald's is a minefield of germs and grubs.

Saw a TV show where one MCD,s employee was a homeless migrant,he was eventually found out,had been sleeping rough.I know folk who only use the disabled toilets as the doors push outwards .

While eating breakfast this morning I got thinking:

 

Next time you sink your teeth into a burger at one of these places then the salt that you're tasting may not be of the table-top variety. I suppose young kids have to put their salty deposits somewhere :-)
