I was in the area on Saturday and decided to go back to Patissima to give them another chance and see if the staff had really addressed this issue of touching food without washing their hands after handling cash.
I was however very disappointed to see that the person who helped me did not wash his hands after handling the cash at the checkout and picked up the sandwich I ordered with his bare hands!
I immediately addressed the issue and he apologized and went to wash his hands, albeit he returned the sandwich back to its original place!
I do not understand why the servers do not use any gloves or just have one person handling the cash. Why is this so complicated?
It is unfortunate as the food is good and it's just shocking that the staff just cannot seem to deal with this very basic food handling 101 requirement -WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE HANDLING FOOD IF YOU DO NOT WEAR GLOVES!
