Coffee Stand Attendants

From Rog

 
  When placing the drinking lid onto your take-away cup, why do they press their nice, "clean" thumb firmly down on the opening hole where you are about to place your lips? Don't get me wrong, I have not fallen over and been taken ill from this, it just boils down to basic lack of
consideration.

 

Leesie replies: Rog, I feel your pain. I went out for pizza and beers last week. As you well know, post-pizza beer flows like mother's milk. Anyway, after a few pints, I head of to drain the main vein, and there, next to me, is the pizza chef doing the same. Fair enough, you gotta go when you gotta go, but he shook off his drops (a couple more than necessary, but that's his business) and then walked out. I know I'd had a few beers, but it wasn't lost on me...

 

True as Bob, five minutes later I saw him there behind the counter (you know how you can often see into the pizza kitchen) flipping dough and sprinkling mushrooms like there's no tomorrow.

Conundrum: Do I speak up about him working in the kitchen with soiled hands and ruin my street cred. as one who observes others' ablutions, or do I grin and bear it remembering to add plenty Tabasco next time I have the Quattro Formaggi?
