: So yesterday DH and I stop at a large chain restaurant (not mentioning their name b/c it was not their fault) and while waiting for food I get up to use the ladies room. As i pass a register I see a server with long gray hair tied back (not relevant except that it servers for later identification). ON my way back from LR I glance in the kitchen, something I like to do to see how clean and since it was open, servers waiting for food were totally visible.
I look in and see Mr. Ponytail PICKING
his NOSE!!!! YES up to his elbow as he waited to pick up the food for his tables!! Needless to say I was sick to may stomach. I get back to the table and the sever comes over (our food had arrived). Of course DH was eating and did not miss a beat! When the server came over and checked I told her what happened and she said she would tell the manager.
The manager never came over and even apologized or at least said he would talk to the sever who I SAW delivering food right after the incident. NOW as disgusting as this was, if he were not in the KITCHEN waiting to pick up I would have still been grossed out but MIGHT have been able to talk myself into thinking he washed his hands...there was no way he did!
Do you think the manager should have at least come over and put my mind to rest by saying that he had spoken to the employee?
Do NOT turn this into a "I was a server and here are some of the disgusting things I have seen " thread. I KNOW this stuff goes on but jeesh at least do it in the bathroom where I can rationalize that he washed his hands.

OMG ~ we problably have no idea of what goes on behind closed doors... in the kitchens! 
I very well understand that a server needs to have CLEAN HANDS. I've been a waitress for 12 years. Even after checking a customer out at the register, handling their money, I automatically turn to the sink and wash my hands before going back to the kitchen to get another customer's food, or to go around refilling coffee, etc.
