Oh, I never touch my face - period! My hands were so dry today (from washing) that my skin cracked in one spot and was bleeding! I was afraid germs could enter that way, but I forget whether or not that is possible.

You're right, working in a restaurant surely is a testament to how good our immune systems are. Today I was polishing the silverware and some of it was still dirty from the dishwasher. Wiping each one with this damp rag. I was grossed out. Then I had to wrap the utensils in napkins. The same utensils people will be eating with. As much as it's grossing me out, I'm realizing that there really is no sterile environment. You don't know who has touched your utensils, dishes, menus, food, or what their hands were touching before that. It's virtually impossible to wash your hands before and after touching every object. I'm sure many of us have gone through life without being sickened from anything of this nature.
