TOILET SEAT WASHING AN APPETITE-KILLER
STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- A customer in an international hamburger chain outlet in western Sweden lost his appetite when he discovered the restaurant's toilet seats were being washed in its dishwasher alongside the kitchen utensils.
The employee tried to reassure the customer by saying that the freshly washed seat would be warm and pleasant to sit on.
A senior representative of the restaurant chain said the incident was a mistake and not standard company procedure.

Appetizing, isn't it?
My former chem lab partner at college tried to get a job in the summer till next term. She applied as a waitress at a new Japanese restaurant in our town. Normally, Japanese people are the most hygenic in the world, but this wasn't being run by Japanese people (I'm adding this as a disclaimer so no one thinks I'm tossing racial slurs).
She quit after a couple of weeks. The hygiene they kept was horrible. They expected her to go from cleaning toilets to serving tables with no rubber gloves given for the dirtier tasks. She'd also seen them drop food on the floor & pick it up & use it without washing it. She was sickened & advised all friends to avoid the place.
I've never had food poisoning in my life & I attribute it partly to rarely eating out. At least, it's a quick way to lose weight.

Believe me what you write about is more common than you would think.I have a relative who is a maintenance contractor for commercial kitchen equipment and has seen the inside of most restaurant kitchens in the city where I live. This relative has observed the following practices in restaurants.
1. Cockroaches infesting the kitchens and food preparation areas.
2. Food being picked up off the floor and put back in the pots.
3. Food being recycled. In other words food that is uneaten by patrons being scraped off the plates and back in the main cooking pot.
4. Meat that is rancid or going green with mould being deep fried to hide this fact and then sold to patrons.
5. Chefs and cooks suffering from colds and flus coughing over food being prepared. One time my relative observed a chef wiping his running nose his hand and then simply continued handling food being prepared.
I have also rarely had food poisoning because I only eat at restaurants that my relative has given his seal of approval to. By the way the exclusivity of the restaurant does not mean that the food hygeine practices are any better. The worst practices occur at some of the most expensive restaurants.Food for Thought!!
