Several comments above on employees not washing hands after using the restroom have made me pause and think. We've all observed folks not washing after using the facilities at our workplace, in airports, restaurants, most public locations.

I once found myself standing at a urinal before services at my church when the guest speaker entered, used the one next to me, and promptly left without washing up. Not a big deal, it happens all the time, but it was strange how what I'd just seen affected my impression of him and his message.

It wouldn't occur to me not to wash up because this was imbedded deep in my brain by parents who said it over and over again when I was young, and often watched to make sure I obeyed.

My only point here, I guess, is that the judgemental attitude we might harbor to the non-washers rightfully belongs to their parents.

Nonetheless, the manager should have been put on notice.
