Now I cant speak for every Muslim or individual sect or family, I can say that EVERY religion in the world, bar none, has some fucked up superstitions and logic.
I have worked most of my life in the food industry, this moron has no damned clue what he is talking about. You are far more likely to get sick from other customers after sharing a table or touching a door handle. You are far more likely to get sick from food not cooked enough, our not at the proper temperature or out of date. You are far more likely to get sick eating out if the cooks do not wash the cutting board after cutting raw meet then putting other food on it.
Starbucks is a major chain, I am quite sure every employee hired is trained on sanitation, including the bathroom.
I do know that some sects require one to use only the left hand. But where is this bare hand crap and not washing after that come from?
The claim bolded is true in the sense that some Muslims do use their bare hand. Some use their bare left hand while pouring water between the cheeks using a water bottle, some just pour the water onto some toilet paper. I googled this after finding empty water bottles in the bathroom in work and wondering how they use them.
I've not heard a claim that they don't wash the hand after, and I've never seen anyone in my work with shit on their hand either so I'm guessing they do wash that hand.
These are the directions I found on a website about how to use the water bottle when using a western toilet.
- Clean yourself with toilet paper (some people do, some people don't)
- Lean backward.
- With right hand, take lotah (which you filled) and pass it under the frontal organs and have the spout near the anus. Lean it forward so the flow starts going. You want a good flow, not Niagara Falls.
- Have your left hand under the lota spout.
- While the water is hitting your left hand, you wash the anal area in the process.
- Repeat if necessary. Make sure you don't feel any solids left.
- Dry if you want, some people do, some people don't.
- Wash your hands (thoroughly) with soap.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
