Employees must wash hands
Why is this sign placed in bathrooms across the country? Last night at Raging Burrito I stared at the familiar notice as I scrubbed my manos and wondered, "Is this sign here to reassure me that my food was prepared with clean hands, or to remind the cooks that they should take the time to wash after using the toilet?" Either way, it doesn't really inspire confidence.
Maybe I am being pretentious, but I prefer to eat at restaurants where the servers wash their hands without being told. Also, if I am questioning my server's hygiene, it is doubtful that a bathroom sign is going to assuage my fears, "Not to worry everyone. Even though the waitress resembles Amy Winehouse after sleeping in a dumpster, her hands are most certainly clean. The sign told me so."
Even worse, is seeing that sign and seeing the bathroom be a mess:
grime and rust and water everywhere, and all the toilets unflushed.

Of course you don't know if they wash their hands more at a nicer
restaurant. And, those notices are required by law.

Didn't know it was a law... But thank god for hand washing
legislation!

A Chinese restaurant in Evanston, IL had a sign that read:
Employees Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Wok.

Reminds me of the time I was in this very nice restaurant. I
dropped my spoon and flagged down our waiter for another. He
reached into his pocket and handed me one.
I told the guy he was very prepared and he responded that they had an efficiency expert come in who determined that the spoon was the most dropped item. So, all wait-staff now carry spoons to increase their efficiency.
About that time I noticed a string hanging out of his fly. He noticed that I noticed and laughed. Also, the efficiency expert. Seeing my confused look he explained that the requirement to wash their hands after using the bathroom was a huge time waster. But, by using the string the waiter doesn't touch his genitals and therefore doesn't have to wash.
I wasn't entirely sure about that but I could kind of see his point. But then I realized a problem with that idea. I asked him, "That seems all well and good, but how do you get it back in your pants after you're done?"
He replied, "I don't know about everyone else - but I use the spoon."

That string could be useful in a game of Edward 40-hands. Using the
restroom with 40s taped to your hands is always an adventure.

Not only are the laws required, but there is more to the law like,
"no hand-washing in sinks where food is prepared," etc. Kinda makes
you want to look closely at the Health Dept. scores for the
restaurant ;) "Employee found washing incredibly soiled hands over
vegetables in kitchen food preparation sink."
