Watching a commercial for this product. Actors drop melted cheese and other food products onto counter surfaces then proceed to eat the food from counter. The antibacterial spray is then used to clean the counter top mess. This ad would make one think the food dropped has the bacteria. Therefore this spray is needed to clean the surface. It was ok to eat the food that dropped without first spraying the food down. I assume one would think cleaning up with product would prevent future bacterial growth. But for how long. Should we really be spraying our eating area before eating so we may slurp the jelly off counter top as shown in commercial. Can you tell I am board. I do like like poking fun at ads.

People still watch commercials? I get bored sometimes to. But that is pretty extreme. Have a Kudo. :)

I love how they wipe down the surfaces in restaurants.

One nasty rag gets used to wipe down the seats, and then the tables, for several hours.


Me, I don't even want my silverware touching that surface. Hell, if it weren't for the cute waitress in the short skirt, I wouldn't even be there.... ;-)

Last month I went to a chicken place and saw what looked like blood on the floor. Informed the manager and she came out to clean it. As she was cleaning it up, she did say that she'll toss the rag she used. Which was comforting hearing...

Then the gross part comes. After wiping the floor she had this "brilliant idea" to wipe the hand rails and counter for the just in case missed spots... yup, she used that same rag from the blood on the floor on the hand rails.


But that isn't the grossest story I have. At a casino I worked at, I saw the bathroom attendant use the floor mop to wipe down the toilet seats. Yup, the mop that is used to clean up the piss that splatters everywhere. Or even the period blood from the women's, cus you know that mop is used in both bathrooms.

Damn it, it's lunch time and I don't feel like eating.

I do too too.

If that ad is exactly as described, well, ewww, followed by keep me away from that company's products!

On the other hand, you won't have a healthy immune system if it's not regularly challenged in small ways.

How's this for an OT article, about something totally gross that actually works: [Link: smithsonianmag.com]; nasty medieval treatment actually kills MRSA bacteria!
Take cropleek and garlic, of both equal quantities, pound them well together… take wine and bullocks gall, mix with the leek… let it stand nine days in the brass vessel…

Suddenly "pease porridge" comes to mind:
pease porridge in the pot, nine days old

Someone mentioned restaurants. I've worked in a lot of restaurants over the last few years, and I've learned, for instance, to walk in such a way that there's never any horizontal force to my steps. That just makes me slide on the grease and it can result in a nasty fall.

All in all, after working in restaurants, I have no idea why anybody would EVER eat in a restaurant. The thing is, I do, all the time!

While I've never worked as a restaurant employee, I've installed enough restaurant systems to develop that "never any horizontal force" walk. And, it's a slippery job to pull out any equipment for service.

In fairness, there is one local restaurant that is very clean. It's also very popular and a bit more expensive than average.

I had a restaurant person bring a receiver in for service. As he dropped the unit on the counter, its inhabitants started to bail out. Not wanting any "refugees" in my store, I performed an emergency maneuver to seal the unit in a trash bag and fumigated it later. The customer was amused that I would be so over the top about a few hundred cockroaches.

Agree.On both points.

If my fork slides off the plate to the table, Im looking for another fork.

My gf accidentally used my tooth brush once and it grossed me out. Then I thought about where on her my mouth had been the previous night, I figured my thoughts were irrational

Golden Corral 'restaurant'

I think I was there that day! I walked in for a late lunch years ago. There was a middle aged feller there in bib overalls by himself. He had a stack of empties on the table, a few full plates, and showed signs of having been there already for a long while, AND of not planning to stop any time soon.

It was 4:00. That means the steaks are ready to start coming off the flat top. He was just getting warmed up. I spend too long at any buffet to make extra sure I cancel out the mediocrity of the food with sheer volume. But this guy must have been trying to commit suicide by food. It was insane. He was a spectacle for all. It was incredible to see him eat steak after steak. He was in pain, and moving in a sloth-like manner near the end. But that did not stop him from finishing 2 or 3 plates of dessert items and a massive bowl (the soup bowls...not the intended ice cream bowls) of soft serve to wash it down.

When I was a busser at a restaurant many moons ago. I had witnessed a few disturbing things.

One was when the toast landed on the ground, butter side was between the slices. And the waitress took it out to the customer anyways. I was too young and naïve to say anything at the time. According to her, which was true, it was on the floor for less than a second. That was her reasoning to let it slide.

At the dishwasher station we had the garbage can for the left over scrap and such. When it gets about half full, one of the dishwashers would empty it. What I saw him do completely freaked me out. I watched him wipe the edge with his fingers and stuff his face with it. I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything.

It's bad in most restaurants, but it's also bad in most hotels.


Ever watch when a show like 60 minutes does a expose on hotel cleanliness?

Guarantee you would rather sleep out on the street, in your car, after seeing the things the maid staff does.

Wipes the commode, uses the same rag to wipe down the sick and counter, along with that glass you think is clean because it has a little paper hat on it....

Why do you need silverware at Hooters?
