The California-based burger chain plans to ban face masks on employees in five of the seven states in which it operates, citing the importance of staff "smiles" for customers.
? That just says salmonella and norovirus and encourages hand hygiene. Masks wouldn’t help there. To be clear, I want safe food handling, I’m just also a nurse and prefer reasonable approaches over theater. Foodborn illness generally doesn’t benefit from droplet projections.
What’s unreasonable about someone else choosing to wear a mask when they’re sick? Even if it’s not causing foodborne illnesses, it’s still spreading the illness to other staff and customers.
This “made up statistic” is the “unreasonable approach to safe food handling” that you referred to earlier? That doesn’t make sense as statistics are data not actions to follow when handling food.
Are you arguing that a stranger freely deciding to wear a mask when they’re sick is too unreasonable in your eyes and should be banned? That’s ridiculous.
No, I am not arguing that and I don’t particularly know why you think I am since I never indicated it. I objected to the idea that masks would prevent half of food borne illnesses, when they would likely prevent none. If you base your actions off of something as ridiculous as that, you are not taking a reasonable approach to safe food handling.
If you think you’re arguing with an anti masker, you’re not. Like I said, I’m a nurse and provided direct patient care to people dying from COVID.

The comment is nonsense. It’s a made up statistic. That’s whats unreasonable.
