Thats a screen that gets wiped down 2-3 times a day, do you want to know what is on the ATM that never gets wiped off?

IIRC the first water fountain for the public to drink from had one tin cup there attached to the spout. London I think.

By the time the authorities are thought, people will be required to turn over all cell phones to an attendant before using the toilet, schools etc... and wash your hands before and after use.
The gloves? Gloves may interfere with the conductance on the surface of the screen.

Fecal bacteria can be found on everything used by the public - shopping carts, door handles, and don’t get started on subway straps.

If people actually knew, we wouldn't dare leave the house and even then you're not safe for the shit we're tracking in from the streets and sidewalks.

Traces of poo and potentially deadly bacteria found in McDonald's

Is the shocking part behind the poop coated screen? I feel like King Arthur's knights when Tim the Enchanter tells them "It IS the rabbit!"

I am sure ATM screens are similar. Hasn’t killed me yet.

Ever been to a public swimming pool? I know they are chlorinated, but if the chemistry isn’t spot on, you are basically swimming in a public bidet.

I’ve looked at some of the people working the pickup window at McDonalds and I would NOT want to shake hands with any of ‘em.

This is horse$hit

Almost EVERYTHING you touch will test positive for trace amounts of all kinds of stuff.

This is just to badmouth McD’s for replacing people with robots.

It takes a scientist to figure this out?

Food handlers are not supposed to touch the product without sanitary tools or gloves. The counterpersons handle money, trays, and containers, not the objects to be eaten. Apparently ice cream cones fall outside this scheme, although the cone itaelf is paper-wrapped.

The touch-screen for customers is a nasty thing to use to conduct the transaction. So is recirculation of money.

Check a subway turnstile. Or an escalator handrail. Or any of a hundred door handles you come in contact with every day. They’re probably as bad or worse.

Yet I don’t see people dropping over dead from the mere touch.

This is fear-mongering to scare people away from using kiosks.

Who’s shocked? There’s poo on nearly everything we touch throughout the day because people do not wash their hands.

Not to mention menus. I always wash my hands after placing my order, no matter how “nice” the restaurant.

Of course the server also handles the menus before bringing your drinks and food...
