Reply to comment by Coyoteclaw11 in LPT: Place silverware at the END of the buffet, not at the beginning by whereverYouGoThereUR

Don't talk to me about the food safety of people reaching over the counter to point to things (not to touch them) IF you and all the other employees aren't wearing masks.

Far more likely that the employees will spew germs via their mouths and noses on the food than the hand of the customer that's at least 2 feet away

Ah yes the 3 employees are a much greater danger than 3 employees and 20+ customers. Never mind that it's a lot easier to trace any issues with contamination back to a handful of employees rather than one of dozens of customers who were there for 10 minutes and left no identifying information behind other than their payment (assuming they didn't use cash).

3 employees, 1 of whom has an illness, YES is at greater risk of spreading an illness to the dozens of customers than a customer with an illness reaching across the top of the glass counter.

We are agreed, right that the customer isn't actually coming into contact with the food? Do you think there is a huge risk of germs dropping from their dry hands to the food 2 ft below? More of risk than the employees? And how well are your fellow employees practicing the health dept rules for food safety? Are they frequently washing their hands and putting on a new pair of gloves whenever they come in contact with something else (like touching the register?)?
