Ditto on calling the manager. And if you're not looking for compensation, then mention that in the letter too.

My wife once observed a McDonald's employee failing to wash her hands before leaving the restroom, and promptly found and informed the manager. The employee was fired before we could even walk out. If you don't tell the manager, you may be exposing other patrons to health risks.

I know McDonalds is not good for us at all. Because it was absolutely very worse meal. So instead, where I will have to eat someplace else. So please don't go to McDonalds for a long time. Because we are no longer eating the lunch & dinners. So I will rather to get eat breakfast time only where I ate steak, eggs & cheese bagels.

Tell the manager!!!

Right. He must try to be informed the manager immediately.

Tell the manager...

Maybe tell manager. But definitely walk away. If she's doing this upfront/out in the open, how often does it happen with other employees out of sight?

This way they will know where to avoid on their break.

tell the manager

That employee deserves to be fired.. no need to hide her identity.

She could well be using the restroom and not washing her hands..

You are kind of screwed if you ever complain in a place that serves food. The workers there will not forget you and right or not someone will take their frustration out on you.

Not going back is really the only thing you can do and not risk a surprise in your next dish.

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.

Not much chance of reprisals in your typical ice cream shop, where you can watch everything they do. But point well taken for most other restaurants.

Did you see them fill the vanilla topping container?

Did you take food from that woman? I would have turned and walked away!

Yes, tell the manager, but your first responsibility is to yourself and your family. Refuse servcie and walk away.

If the manager doesn't listen call the health dept.
