Topic	There is no point to the stay at home orders/no work. People are ignoring it.
LinkPizza 04/16/20 4:49:27 PM #35:	wolfy42 posted... The person preparing the food doesn't come in contact with hundreds of customers. If that dude/dudette is sick, pretty much everyone is screwed, and sadly, if the person handing out the food gets sick, that pretty much means the person making the food will as well eventually. They should at least be wearing gloves though, which might help prevent some people from getting it. Do your stores not do that already? Most places I've gone to (even before the virus) had different people put the order together and give it to the customer... The stores have one person make the food, and then another take all the individual ingrediants and put it into bags (fries/burgers etc). That person then takes those bags and hands it to the customer. I propose you have 3 people instead of 2. One makes the food, one prepares it and places it into bags, and the final one is the one who takes cash from people, but she/he also takes those bags (with protection so she doesn't actually touch them (IE in a basket etc) and hands them to the customer. This prevents any cross contamination from customers (at no point are you touching something, that other customers have touched (or that the person who is in contact with many customers has touched). And yeah, I'm not going to fast food again, I did microwave my food before eating it, which should have killed any virus on the food, but ii's not worth the risk. Still most people are being told it's safe to have delivery or go to fast food etc, but the reality is, just 1 person going to such a place and paying with cash, could infect the person handing out the food right now. That person would be in close proximity all day with the cook/person making the food, and BAM before you know it, everyone who eats there could get infected. Gloves can help, and of course if they show symptoms they probably would stop workign there, but I mean, it's an easy way to quickly spread the virus tbh, and there are simple/easy precautions to avoid it. It should be noted that you usually have 3 people (at least) at a fast food place, one is dealing with dine in customers, and often you have another who is clearing tables etc, so having 3 people instead of 2, would not be an extra cost, and it would speed up service for the people in line (so you would end up making more of a profit over all that way. You would also ensure the maximum safety of your customers and your employees (as long as the person dealing with the customers wore gloves/a mask, and didn't give out non-bill change (you can use a basket and tongs to hand out cash and recieve it, touching none of it with your gloves directly. Just put a sign up that change will be rounded to the nearest dollar or ignored if it's less than a dollar, if your not ok with that, don't eat there. Sure. But everything gets touched. Like all the time. From counter tops to random things in the back. It's still easy for things to spread. The most they can do is to constantly wipe down things and change gloves when needed. But even that has it's limits... wolfy42 posted... The stores have one person make the food, and then another take all the individual ingrediants and put it into bags (fries/burgers etc).

This prevents any cross contamination from customers (at no point are you touching something, that other customers have touched (or that the person who is in contact with many customers has touched). Not all stores are going to have enough people to have too many people working the drive-thru. I know many stores are actually cutting hours to have less people at a time there. For my stores, we still have someone at the first window handling money (cash, card, etc.), and one person handing food at the window. But they only grab the bag that's already been put together by someone else. They do make the drinks themselves, though. Since they only hand the bag to the customer, they don't get contaminated, AFAIK, I guess... But every store is different... wolfy42 posted...

Plus, if you're microwaving the food, it sounds like the food wouldn't be much better than something frozen, anyway... And it's possible. But if you're that paranoid, then I would definitely stay away from fast food. There's always a chance to get infected, even eating at home. There has to be a limit where you understand that there will always be a risk, even if it's a little one... wolfy42 posted...

Most places do this already. As soon as someone shows symptoms, they have to go home and be quarantined.
