Michael Dont miss the pork chops too hard...they've become almost flavorless.

GOP senator: Let restaurants ‘opt out’ of handwashing after toilet to ‘reduce regulatory burden’ http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/02/gop-senator-let-restaurants-opt-out-of-handwashing-after-toilet-to-reduce-regulatory-burden/comments/#disqus On Monday, the freshman senator ended his talk at the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) with a story to illustrate his philosophy on government regulations. “I was having this discussion with someone, and we were at a Starbucks in my district, and we were talking about certain regulations where I felt like maybe you should allow businesses to opt out,” Tillis recalled. “Let an industry or business opt out as long as they indicate through proper disclosure, through advertising, through employment, literature, whatever else. There’s this level of regulations that maybe they’re on the books, but maybe you can make a market-based decision as to whether or not they should apply to you.” Tillis said that at about that time, a Starbucks employee came out of one of the restrooms. “Don’t you believe that this regulation that requires this gentlemen to wash his hands before he serves your food is important?” Tillis was asked by the person at his table. “I think it’s one I can illustrate the point,” Tillis told the women. “I said, I don’t have any problem with Starbucks if they choose to opt out of this policy as long as the post a sign that says ‘We don’t require our employees to wash their hands after leaving the restrooms.’ The market will take care of that.” “That’s probably one where every business that did that would go out of business,” he added. “But I think it’s good to illustrate the point that that’s the sort of mentality that we need to have to reduce the regulatory burden on this country.” So requiring employees to wash their hands when they are coming out of the bathroom is too much regulation but requiring them to put up a sign stating that employees DONT have to wash their hands, is not regulation and will have the market decide What a dip shit.... one sign like that and I would never eat in that restaurant again. where do these edge types come from.....

quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic one sign like that and I would never eat in that restaurant again. where do these edge types come from..... That was his point, when he said the market would enforce it. That if a restaurant chose to opt out, and had to tell people, that the restaurant would soon close. Of course, calling Starbucks a restaurant may be a stretch.

i realise that....but its still a regulation to replace a regulation.

quote: ORIGINAL: Musicmystery quote: ORIGINAL: dcnovice FR I'll probably regret saying this, but I have a certain respect for the protesters. Yes, there's an SNL-skit quality to protesting a pizza parlor about its cartons, but two other things occur to me: (a) Unlike yours truly, they've had the courage to look at the realities of where modern American food comes from and the character to adapt their diet accordingly. In pitiful contrast, I look the other way rather than face the cruelty that goes into my menu. (b) At a time when "the younger generation" is often slammed for self-absorption, they bestirred themselves to raise awareness about an issue that moves them--without, so far as I can see, much personal gain thereby. Can't recall the last time I did that. So, dc...I get what you're saying, and part of me is sympathetic. But I'm not simply dismissive of these folks--rather, I'm concerned. It's easy to come in waving about whatever cause du jour and say "let's do something" and, commendable, do it. But what's missing is any sense of "Well, what is it we want to happen?" let alone "How do we know when we've accomplished it?" Is it to get to cows off the boxes? Or pictures of mournful cows? Or pizza using soy cheese instead? Rushing off with no strategy and direction is how so many people achieve so much less than they dream. And unnecessarily. I'd be far more impressed if, regardless of how worthy or not I happen to deem it, they had an objective, clear steps and a path toward a measurable result. This? It's far more reaction than any proactive stance. And...it doesn't help the cows either. I think that they just want people to feel guilty. ETA: And it makes them feel morally superior.

I don't think that much thought went into it.
