[quote=Anonymous] After traveling to Asia recently, I was struck by how consistent and impressive the hygiene standards were across the food service industry. Workers at all levels—from fast food spots to high-end restaurants—wore masks, gloves, and hair ties, with no loose long hair or dreadlocks. Even delivery people and convenience store staff, like those at 7-Eleven, adhered to these hygiene practices.

It wasn’t just about the food but the entire experience. Delivery drivers were clean and presentable, and it gave me so much more confidence in the quality and safety of what I was consuming. Compare that to what we often see in the US, where such standards are rarely enforced, and it makes me wonder: why don’t we mandate similar hygiene practices here?

Wouldn’t it make sense to require food service workers and delivery drivers (like Uber Eats or DoorDash) to follow stricter hygiene protocols? It seems like an easy way to reduce contamination risks and enhance trust, especially in industries where cleanliness is critical.

What are your thoughts—should the US adopt similar standards across fast food, coffee shops, fine dining, and even delivery services? Would it improve your experience?[/quote]
