At fast food restaurants, where you pour your own soft drink, they give you the cup, but they don't give you a lid that goes with it.
When you get to the soda machine, all the lids are loose, in stacks, different sizes. All the customers handle these, many times reaching through the stacks & touching other lids, picking the wrong lid, handling it and putting it back in the stacks, etc.
The lids aren't in a dispenser that pops out an individual lid per drink. They are also breathed on, sneezed on, and coughed on. If there are any flies around they have plenty of time to land on the lids with their little germy fly-feet.
How can this be legal from a health inspection standpoint? However, fast food restaurants have been doing this for years.
I don't get it. Just for the record, I'm not a germophobe...but I do work in health care and am very aware of the disease-spreading potential of this practice.
