Unhygienic food traders

[muddychick]

I'm a long time lurker on here but feel I need to air this issue to the masses.

When I get my wristband I always get it put on my left arm as I am right handed.thus no chance of said wristband dangling in a long drop or being on my bum wiping arm. Please tell me I am not alone in this way of thinking!

so when I go to buy food I have this locked in my head when I see a right handed trader with it on the right arm handling food.AAARGH!

Why is this not a health issue for traders and why not just get the damn band on the other arm? I watched the Beeb coverage today where the jerk chicken guy waded into a big pan of food wristband deep! I'm not Mrs Health and Safety but come on!

I must say im right handed and wipe with my left...

[ceegee]

Im a lefty but wipe with the right. From observing several friends at festivals, quite a few wipe with the opposite hand*

*observing their positioning of wristband, not observing the wiping.

Oh God now I feel like some kind of wiping freak!

Seriously some people on here think way too much. How do you know what hand someone wipes there arse with. Chill out. Enjoy it. It's far too short to be watching what hand someone is serving food with and if there wristband is on that hand and thinking maybe it might have gotten a bit dirty at some point in 5 days living in a cow field.

Personally i'm a leftie wipe right handed and always tuck the dangly bit in anyway.

One would hope they wear plastic gloves when handling food.

I got a crepe on arrival though and I don't think the guy who made it had very clean hands. I was so exhausted from driving all night I ate it anyway! Grim.

Try this: ask people if they sit or stand when wiping their arses. The camps are approximately 50:50 accross the population, but each side of the argument is surprised to find that the other exists.

Given the amount of chemicals people put into their bodies over the weekend I doubt a bit of shit or dirt is likely to be any worse.

I always feel this about those people who wear 5 years worth of wristbands thinking they're cool as f**k but have those loose bits hanging around their asses when they give them a wipe

Haha I completely forgot about this. Someone asked me and I could not believe anyone sat down and wiped there arse but as you say, quite a few people do.

you guys wipe at glasto??? it's a festival, the only 5 days of the year i can enjoy not wiping for the duration.

Sat down...... Yes I suppose it does spread the cheeks. I'm currently having a crunch so I will try it

I stood up without thinking.

All this reminds me of another unpopular argument I have which shall not be mentioned

I dread to think of what bugs are circulating the site

I'd be more concerned about handling money and then eating your food than where the vendors hands have been...

[Krazypinkminx]

I had hair in my doughnuts. Shudder. Looked back at the lady who served me. She was pretty rank. Didnt eat them.

[windy_miller]

I always put my wristband on my non wiping hand.

[Arriente]

Unless you had food poisoning during the fest I really wouldn't worry about it now.

[muddychick]

Interesting responses.Normally I am not such a clean freak that this would bother me too much but thw wristband dangly ends are an issue to me when it comes to food hygeine.

I saw a particularly skanky guy on a stall buttering toast and crumpets with his wristband slapping about on the bread and avoided that stall like the plague!

I always use anti bac before eating and choose my food seller carefully!
