Personal hygiene in shops and stores by the public is terrible
Posted by Karen in health, tags: food hygiene, moan, Morrisons, personal hygiene, TwitterEarlier today I tweeted from my local Morrisons on the way people do not wash their hands after using the toilets and then going straight off to do their shopping, so I’m thought I would post about it.
So, there I was washing my hands with the fully automated, touch nothing, washers after using the toilets in Morrisons in Rhyl and whilst I was doing these three woman came in, used the loo and then when straight out without washing their hands. So their personal hygiene practices suck big time!
Now I’m not sure if this down to pure laziness or just a blatant disregard for hygiene, for starters they have touched the toilet seat, toilet roll holder, flusher and the door lock on the toilet door, then they just walk straight out into the store and do their shopping, picking up food and putting it back and also, as Dalekcat tweeted, “not to mention the trolley handles“.
Don’t they realise that there are so many germs these days that can easily be spread via not washing their hands, the questions arises do they do the same at home? Or worse!
Washing your hands is important process of your personal hygiene it is the first defence against the many germs that can easily be transferred to our hands from the simplest of places when you are out and about, just think you go to the toilet touch urine on a seat and then go and pick up an apple, don’t like the look of it and then put it back, now those germs will get transferred on to someone else!
There are signs in public toilets asking, no, telling people to wash their hands, those there is only one in the toilets in Morrisons and it is quite small, personally I think that a very large sign should be behind the toilet, on the toilet door as you walk out of the cubicle, over the top of each wash basin and on the door on the way out!
I am so annoyed with this whole thing that the next time I am in the public toilets somewhere and I see someone walking out without washing their hands, I will stand there and shout “That person has not washed their hands, dirty beggar!”

I so agree! I even see it in my office building sometimes. You’d think people would be concerned about their own health even if they don’t care about others since you can easily infect yourself by touching your mouth or nose with dirty hands.

I wash my hands! But I can also use a public restroom without touching anything but the toilet paper. I’m not terribly good at the squat and hover maneuver, though, so what annoys me is those who attempt it and miss the bowl, then fail to clean up after themselves – or those who drape everything with their paper doilies, then fail to flush it all, leaving the toilet looking like a vandalized tree on Halloween, for the next person to deal with.

It’s certainly more hygienic to “squat and hover”, I personally think that all public toilets should be automated, when you leave the cubicle the toilets should flush automatically and then perhaps a disinfectant sprayed on to the seat!

Hahahaha!! I don’t touch anything in public restrooms.. I use my foot to turn the handle, open the door, lift the seat and flush.. and I still wash my hands!
