It was amazing the surfaces that showed traces of semen. If there's a flat surface, I ssume that someone's been doing the nasty on it.<BR/><BR/>I won't touch the bedspreads in hotel rooms - they change those things about twice a year.<BR/><BR/>This is where the big "L" libertarians go off of the rails - it's tradgedy of the Commons in action, and it's the reason that makind has been prone to set up governments throughout our roughly 6000 year recorded and semi-recorded history.John the Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467337009577733553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-30559129324015016942008-02-03T19:08:00.000-06:002008-02-03T19:08:00.000-06:00This doesn't surprise me in the least.

It's why I avoid any restaurant that has a record of treating their employees badly, and look for restaurants where the staff sticks around for years. <BR/><BR/>Pissed off unhappy workers are not a good think as far as my food is concerned.Random Michelle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817444379694818074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-69005973639425144152008-02-03T16:07:00.000-06:002008-02-03T16:07:00.000-06:00MWT, I used to be a professional chef (long ago, ...MWT, I used to be a professional chef (long ago, before I joined the Navy). I worked for what was then an extremely upscale company - places where dinner might run two people $200-$250 (wine, caviar, dinner made at the table - with blue flames! Yeah, that kind of place). <BR/><BR/>It was the same.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-31336022880391380052008-02-03T15:21:00.000-06:002008-02-03T15:21:00.000-06:00Ew.

Yes they have health inspections every six months, and yes all of the employees do things the right way while the inspector is present... but uh. <BR/><BR/>There was one bagel shop I worked in where they pretty much didn't clean out the iced tea dispenser for almost the entire time I was there (about 6 months). It was always the same tea, they just added more as people bought it.<BR/><BR/>Oh well. They say that the key to a good, healthy immune system is being exposed to lots of pathogens. ;)MWThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446603415730525882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-16526388891969156142008-02-03T13:18:00.000-06:002008-02-03T13:18:00.000-06:00Most big hotels have really hot water.
