GOP SENATOR: I’M OKAY WITH NOT FORCING RESTAURANT WORKERS TO WASH UP

He might have won the most expensive legislative campaign in US history, but that doesn’t mean he should manage your local Arby’s.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said Monday that he’s okay with the idea of service industry workers returning to work without washing their hands after touching their unmentionables, as long as customers are made aware of the situation.

Tillis made the declaration at to the Bipartisan Policy Center, at the end of a question and answer with the audience. He was relaying a 2010 anecdote about his “bias when it comes to regulatory reform.”

“I was having a discussion with someone, and we were at a Starbucks in my district, and we were talking about certain regulations where I felt like ‘maybe you should allow businesses to opt out,’” he said, “as long as they indicate through proper disclosure, through advertising, through employment literature, or whatever else.”

Tillis was, at the time, the minority whip of the North Carolina House of Representatives.

the establishment has to post a bold notice stating "Patrons of this establishment have an increased exposure to oral/fecally transmitted diseases" or words to that effect.
