When at a diner do you use the tabletop condiments?

On vacation for the 4th so went to this little diner we’ve never been before and they still have tabletop condiments that many people share throughout the day who sit at that table.

No way I’m using the communal ketchup bottle. Not only do different hands touch them throughout the day, so when you grab it and use it, you then pick up your burger or fries with that germ ridden hand.

Also there are sick fricks out there who I’m sure spit in them. Also some weirdo could drop a little fentanyl in it and wipe out a family.

Tabletop condiments need to be done away with.

Weird rant for the 4th of July I know.

Sir, this is, in fact, a Wendy's.

Hell yeah...

I'm not eating my over-medium eggs and hashbrowns without some Crystal or La. H-Sauce, brotato chip...

True with way more than ketchup bottles. Better off never leaving the house.

2 things to never eat at a restaurant.

1. Fish
2. Condiments that sit on the table.

Did you touch the menu? Did you touch the door handle? Did you touch the table? Did you touch the chair? R/covid might be your friend

I used to use them until about 5 years ago. When eating in a popular restaurant I looked over and noticed a toddler that had the ketchup bottle with top removed and had it buried in his mouth up to the 57 chugging ketchup like he was drinking from a baby bottle. When done with the meal, mom wiped all of the ketchup off his face, put the top back on the bottle and left.

If you are this afraid of germs you really should just stay home

Your immune system is just like a muscle. If you don’t let it work out from time to time, it gets weaker and weaker.

Why do you hate your immune system?

I assume you wipe off the door handle into the restaurant, wipe down your seat/booth, clean every menu, etc?

What a ridiculous thing to complain about. Nobody is spitting in your tabletop ketchup bottle

Yeah, I use them. I'm not a germaphobe though. I think it's one of the main reasons why I almost never get sick. I get sick like once every 5 years.
