I don't think I'll be eating at Brad's...

Well I miss my Dustbuster. I no longer have space for it nor even an outlet where it could be plugged in but many a day  I wish it were not so.

Finally, cordless vacuums are useful now with rechargeable  lithium batteries.

 

Also very good for sucking up ants and spiders in the kitchen.

Don't get me wrong, I think they're very useful.  I was just visualizing Brad alternating between floor, countertop and cutting board.  You wouldn't touch your food contact surfaces with your floor mop, would you?

He's also not sanitizing the surface the debris was sitting on, so he's leaving a lot of bacteria behind. And, yeah, touching all those surfaces creeps me out.

I love that people here notice this sort of thing, after years of trying to explain to people about proper cleanliness and spreading germs in a more medical environment. It makes me feel like the world isn’t a completely stupid sort of place. (Especially after watching too much tv cooking. Don’t lick your fingers and then go back to what you were doing, omg!)
