Unnoticeable poop on knuckles. Knuckles drags across the ice. Ice becomes
contaminated.

Or just plain unnoticeable dirty hands. One cannot see every hand.
I suppose this goes for all touched food in a restaurant.

I really go nuts when I see people working there putting their hands up to
their nose holes and mouths and scratching their scalp.

Another thing I go nuts about is seeing the wait person picking up someone
elses food with her thumb in the remaining scraps; running back to the
kitchen, coming out with your own food, thumb sticking on the side of the
plate.

One cannot police the world -- fix thy own food!
