Does it bother you when cashiers lick their thumbs?

At "one time" I would eat lunch at Philly connection one day me and my brother went to pick up lunch the order wasn"t completed so we are sitting there waiting in the mean time we noticed the cook preparing our sandwich"s he was leaning over the grill all the sudden big drops of "sweat poured off" "his fore-head right onto our food. Man talk about gross  I have never went back to eat at any Philly Connections ever.

Theoretically speaking a high enuff temperature will kill off some bacteria, germs I.m okay with that scenario!!. However it"s the visual that has left me scarred for life Yeah you can call me a "Wuss"

Once while dining out, I asked my restaurant server for a container to take home my leftovers.   She came back, holding a tray with another table's food, and carrying my opened, empty food container under her arm in her armpit!  Yuck!!!  I disposed of it in the restroom wastebasket before I left the restaurant.

I'm pretty much an anti-germophobe. If I drop my sandwich on the ground, I pick it up and eat it. Keeps my immune system strong.

I'm not so grossed out by the thumb licking as I am confused why they do it. What is the point?

Anyone grow up in a family with the five-second rule? (If food drops on the floor, as long as you pick it up within 5 seconds, it's OK to eat it.)

A high-schooler did this for a science fair project, and there really were significatly fewer germ colonies on the 5-second specimens.

If food drops on the floor, I throw it out and then wash my hands!

To clarify, this wasn't the rule in our family. Having a surgeon in the family pretty well cancels out any chance for that!

Besides, we always had dogs. Our version of the 5-second rule was that within 5 seconds, a dog would have snarfed up any fallen goodies.

Okay psychic, but what if you dropped your last spoonful of BC ready to spread frosting on the floor, and you were really looking forward to that last spoonful. Of course, you are shut in, as there is a hurricane in FL and there was no more in the house. Come on...you eat it, don't you?
