I seriously doubt she blew enough snot into the napkin that it soaked through to her hand. There's some amount of germs on everything, that's what we have immune systems for. If you start to worry about it then you become one of those people who's afraid to touch doorknobs and washes their hands a hundred times a day.
Just think of all that dirty money and change they touch constantly. That has just as much germs as a used kleenex.
aegion has a point, but he's being a little bitch about it. most customers do not compute money = dirty, but if they see someone doing some nasty shit like that, duh, they will whine about it. and i don't see what the wage has to do with the discussion.
we have a sampler at work that: eats them, wipes his nose, ties his shoes....WHILE HE'S SAMPLING. doesn't change his gloves, doesn't wash his hands. makes me want to hurl thinking about it.
I'm kind of curious here, what restuarant do you work at that has a "sampler" position? I didn't know that was a job.
Being unsanitary around food is a bad thing. I'm not debating that. But I think blowing her nose into a napkin isn't as bad as some other things. Like I said, it's the same amount of germs that comes from handling money so why don't they have a rule against that too?
Yeah, some customers might whine about it if they saw it. But that's that workers problem to deal with. A normal, rational person would realize that it's not worth alienating your coworker by stepping in and bossing them around like you're the manager. That's why I said she's a control freak. Only someone with an emotional need to control would do something like that. The entire post isn't about just this, this incident is part of an overall pattern of bossiness.
Ewwwwww!! I had a coworker once who did the EXACT SAME THING. I'm like, Dude, you're a waitres, and you're obviously middle-aged. You should know better by now!
