Quote:Why would there be a Civil Suit?  Without the required signs, what proof would anyone have that they didn't require people to wash their hands?  

 

Without a sign I as a consumer have a reasonable expectation my food is being handled safely. If it's later discovered after the fact that my food was not handled safely and there was no warning that my food was not handled safely I'd be within justification to file a civil suit against the establishment for negligence? I'm not a lawyer but my God people have sued for a lot less, it's not because the sign is or isn't there. There's a liability establishments have separate from any regulation.

 

Bottom line disgusting restaurants that are not clean go out of business, sign or no sign. The regulation changes nothing, it's unnecessary.
