AIBU to expect those who work in food stores to use toilet tissue and wash their hands

[stopandstandup123]

That is it really.

I saw a newspaper article a few days ago where a man working in a take away curry restaurant used his own hand to wipe his dirty bottom as his culture did not allow him to use toilet paper. Inside the kitchen was a dirty water bottle covered in faeces that he used subsequently to wash his bottom clean after his poo.

I really feel that those working with food need to use toilet paper and wash their hands after using the toilet for Number 2's BEFORE they re-enter the kitchen and food prep area.

Or is it just me?

I think I read there was a bottle of water which he filled from the kitchen tap which had faecal residue on it. I guess he was using it as a hand held bidet. Can't remember where the bottle was found.

Thank you Sparkling.

Still makes me feel queasy even reading for the second time.

I read that story, absolutely disgusting!
Just puts me off takeaway, I barely buy it anyway, only get nandos these days if I want a takeaway but things like curry's ect we can make ourselves they sell all the ingredients in tesco's now.

CHicken/kebab shops are the worse, they will take coins from you then touch bread to make your burger with their coin hands!

I am sure it does. Thankfully we have the hygiene inspectors that find these things out, and we hope is it a rare occurrence.
You can find out online what the hygiene rating of take aways and restaurants is.

Maybe the man had not read this which explains it is OK to use loo paper.

How did he get caught? I mean, how did the inspector know how he was wiping?

I thought they found a bottle with suspicious brown marks on it under the kitchen sink? Knowing this can be a cultural choice, perhaps it wasn't much of a stretch for the inspector to work it out?
