Do you use the hand sanitizers when you use a store buggy?

Doesn't make any difference given that I've seen people put their lap dogs into carts and stroll around thru the grocery section of the local Walmat. It's a health code violation, but the store manager didn't want to piss of the customer and the Health Dept wasn't interested in enforcing the law.

BTW, these were not service animals and I've seen it multiple times. As far as I'm concerned dogs, other than service dogs, don't belong in ANY store, especially one that has food products. What happens if a child gets bit, or the animal relieves itself on the floor? Not buying the "oh my dog wouldn't do that" - they do it all the time when these people walk them past my yard.

I whole heartedly agree

Let me guess...wattsupwiththat?

Actual science:

Researchgate wrote:
amples from the handrails of the escalators in 12 Metro stations in the underground train in Washington, D.C. were studied on two weekdays for the presence of aerobic bacteria. Bacteria were isolated in 12 of the 24 cultures. The number of colonies per site varied between 1 to 16. All of the organisms isolated were Gram-positive cocci: 5 alpha hemolytic streptococci, 5 coagulase negative staphylococci, and 2 Staphylococcus aureus. These results indicate that although some of the handrails in the Metro escalators contain bacteria, their number is small and their types do not present a high health risk to the passengers.

No, from some newspaper article. That was pretty lame, Davester.

I agree, but I couldn't help myself, low hanging fruit and all. My apologies.

That's mean.

They don't even do that at GTMO.
