After an employee washes their hands I just tell them to stand with their hands in the air and don't touch ANYTHING. Most know I'm kidding but it is frightful to know how quickly contaminated their "clean" hands can become just by doing normal activities. They have a hard time understanding that they can't open a door; brush their hair; touch their clothing; reach into their purse; open a cooler or display case, etc without having to wash their hands again or change their gloves before they contact ready to eat food. That's just the Front of the restaurant. Now go into the kitchen and see all the potential for cross contamination!! Talk about a full time job!!
