Sigh, this is a hit piece for some ill considered comments. The Senator said that if the restaurant was required to post that on a sign, the free market would resolve the issue.
While I disagree with him about if it should be required, the reports really try to make it into something it isn't.
Please, like all these little shop's employees all wash hands. The same person takes your order, makes your food, takes your money and hands you the food.
So this guy is opposed to restaurants having to post signage in their bathrooms telling employees to wash their hands?
Too bad he does not talk about the under reach of government in terms of restaurants that hire undocumented workers or the majority of states which refuse to enact bio metric employee ID.

So he wants to remove the hand-washing regulation in favor of a sign-posting regulation.
Hm. I thought he was misguided, turns out he's just incapable of figuring out consequences. Or, in traditional parlance, "stupid".
While it should certainly be a WORK rule (at the discretion of the employer), is it really the GOVERNMENT'S place to pass a law and enforce it?
IMO, no, it is not. Where in the Constitution does it say that the Federal Government has that power? If the Government is not granted the power, how can the Government give such power to an agency created by that Government?
The person he was with asked whether one of those opt-out regulations would include requiring employees to wash their hands after using the restroom. Tillis recalled, "I said, 'I don't have any problem with Starbucks if they choose to opt out of this policy as long as they post a sign that says "We don't require our employees to wash their hands after leaving the restroom."
Tillis did add, however, that the market would decide on the best policy, and any business that decided on a policy like that "would go out of business." His point was that there are certain rules that require common sense, not regulation.

We tried letting the market sort it out. Go read Sinclair's "The Jungle" to see how that worked out. (Short version: It sucked.)
I don't think it bothers Republicans if food workers wash their hands or not. They don't want a "nanny state" and they're willing to eat whatever lands on their food after a bathroom break.
You'd think people would do that themselves wouldn't you. Unfortunely not.
