You can place blame wherever you please however, when you choose to use the dirtier of two choices (pick up silverware off the floor and use it vs get a clean one) you only have yourself to blame when you’re ill and for the record, the salmonella and e-coli was used only as an example.

It’s not so much fear. I’d use the silverware if that were my only option but chances are, I have better options I can use before resorting to that.

I’d think having to carry around a bottle of hand sanitizer and using napkins to open doors, never shaking hands, etc germophobia. The topic of debate here is just basic common sense hygiene.

I sincerely hope that you have better personal hygiene than you let on with these statements. The impression you give makes me think you’re a never wash your hands because “I was taught not to pee on them” kind of person or a “I only need to shower once I can smell myself” kind of person.

I don’t necessarily think I’d use the word biohazard but it would in fact be unsanitary. Do you not like using clean utensils or would you prefer that after patrons are done eating that the staff just run it under water to get the food off of it?

What are the chances that if you were that 1 person out of say 1 million (whatever those decimal chances they are) that got sick, would have wished that they simply put forth the most minimal effort to use a clean utensil.

I’ll take a massage with the bacon and I want all your bacon!

Don’t forget to tip!

The problem isn’t so much the dirt, hair, and other debris that you can see, that would make you sick. It’s the bacteria and germs that are invisible to the naked eye.

I wait for a reasonable amount of time, which is 5 minutes or less, I’m not waiting for my food to get cold. Then I get out of my seat and find someone who can help me. At the least, even the greeter or whatever the position title is, where they assign you to a table, typically has a tray of silverware ready in their…

As a customer, it’s not the customer’s job to manage how the restaurant manages their waitstaff. With that said, ask any employee for whatever it is you require and let the employees sort out who brings it to you.

Sometimes it’s best to mind your own business. While I can understand where you’re coming from, in this situation, when you’re friends with both the husband and the wife, you end up picking sides by poking your nose where it doesn’t belong and if they work things out, there’s a chance you’ve ruined your relationship…

I’ve tried kombucha and I did enjoy it but never had anything homemade. Does all kombucha kind of taste like vinegar or do they all have different tastes?

Anything I guess is possible, I know personally, I’d mind. If I lost my job under those circumstances, I’d assume I have no income and I’m job searching.

Incorrect, you could most definitely be sued for defamation, even if what you say is correct. You’d likely win the lawsuit but you’re still sued, you still had to take a day off of work and appear in court. You’d still have to put together your case to defend yourself. Even if you win, that’s still a huge…

To elaborate, even in at-will employment states, it’s still illegal to fire an employee based on race, gender, national origin, disability, religion, or age. Those are the reasons I was saying employers can’t legally fire for.

I don’t disagree that it’s an injustice nor that the chances of being sued for defamation are low however, the smartest move you can make is at least seeking legal advice from legal council first before you do anything.

The thing is with this option, there’s a lot of variables that most people don’t account for. For example, most people never read over the documents they sign when becoming employed.

I’m going to disagree with you on taking it to social media or advertising it to the masses at least at first. You’d want to speak to a lawyer without complicating the issue further and/or alerting the company.

Employers can’t legally fire employees for a number of reasons however, especially in at-will employment states, you don’t need too much of a reason to fire someone.
