I prefer the biscuits which were individually wrapped.
Whilst not scientific, I only saw one person use the tongs provided, everyone else just used their hands.
I think the jarred preserves are pretty horrible too (and a blatant cost cutting exercise). I don't want a splodge of jam loaded onto my plate.
I also cannot help but be a bit cynical when it comes to food in jarred containers...there is always a temptation just to keep permanently refilling, opposed to restocking the entire jar.
For me though, the toilets being filthy is the worst issue of them all - as you say, it is a reminder of some peoples hygiene standards - and with respect, I don't really want to be sharing jars of biscuits and preserves with them.
