##its frightening

I think there are examples of bad hygiene everywhere, i was in the toilets on a motorway stop, one of the chefs in uniform exited the sit down kennel, and straight out the exit, no hand washing. Needless to say i did not eat there !! kt

Keith some thing similar happened to me. I was at a local Hotel for an RNLI organised dinner dance with my good lady. We had dined and the dance was about to get under way when I needed to go to the loo. I was in there, when, after much flushing a cubicle door opened and out stepped the Chef resplendent in full Chefs uniform plus even his hat. He did no more than walk straight out of the loo without even a glance at the wash basins. I was bloody angry and told my wife, one of the organisers and anybody else who cared to listen, what had happened. I was not witness to it but by all accounts, the organisers did take it up with the Hotel management. I have no idea of the outcome but after an anxious day or two, we did not suffer any undue illness, however we have never and never will set foot in that Hotel again.

Surely, the catering department should have own facilities
and staff should completely change out of whites if leaving
the protected kitchen area.

RE: Hand washing, standard procedure and sackable offence.

Under the Catering Health act here in Victoria it is illegal to wear your uniform to work. Must change from street clothes when at work with a clean uniform at the start of each shift.

Caught a chef from local restaurant in his whites in betting shop.
Told the local health officer whom I know well and have not seen that chef in town since.

here in all food outlets , food factories , and health workers the same , but to save costs a lot of people use laundering at home , often too cool to destroy bugs

[Lewis McColl]

How many times do you see health workers still in uniform in supermarkets???quite often I would say. Sadly long gone are the days when matron ruled the roost.

"Sots" as far as I'm concerned is short for:

"Stalags" on the seas".

I wonder what proportion of passengers actually bother to go look at sea once underway, most will be in the shops, theatres, cinemas, restaurants and casinos etc

[Jim Brady]

Most of the catering crowd on passenger liners crossing the Western Ocean wouldn't see daylight from sailing day in the UK until going ashore in Canada/USA.
