One time I was really sick at an airport McDonalds. Fever, sneezing, the whole thing. But you're in an airport, and you have to eat something.
I had to explain almost pedantically why they should allow me to order verbally instead of using their touchscreens, for the safety of the other customers.
I think today, they'd have a protocol to accommodate people who are obviously sick so they don't have to touch anything. In fact, they probably don't even let healthy people use touch screens, if I had to guess.
- hombre_fatal 5y agoYou didn’t think of just washing your hands and maybe using a knuckle to touch the screen instead of going HN pedant on the $7/hr worker? Besides, I would think shooting mucus debris in their direction by talking is worse than using a cleaned knuckle on a screen far away from them.
- ggggtez 5y agoSo, in your expert medical opinion, given years after the fact without any understanding of the illness in question... You think that your advice that "you should just have washed your hands" is such amazing advice that you think it's worth writing here? What are you hoping to gain? And even if you were right, as I said, I had a high fever. It's not like I was thinking clearly. Are you trying to feel morally superior to someone who was in gravely ill?
