Alice &amp; Bill used to take us to Shoney's breakfast buffet whenever we'd come to visit. What a treat!</p> <p>I know what you mean about sanitation in such places. I alternated between liberal use of hand sanitizer and figuring it's probably good for the immune system to get a workout now and then. However, I suspect that in regular restaurants we just don't see the unsanitary practices. Watching an employee head right back to the kitchen after using the bathroom without stopping to wash her hands was what sold me on getting the hepatitis A vaccine.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/945/35472013-06-03T19:22:16Zdstb<p>I don't like to go to buffet places either. Partly because I can't believe the food is going to be as good and partly because it gives me the heebie jeebies. Somehow it doesn't strike me as sanitary as a restaurant where you are served.</p> <p>The contradiction, though, is that I like going to restaurants that are regular restaurants, but that may have a buffet. It's a bit of a treat even. But a place that is strictly buffet turns me off.</p> <p>Also, breakfast buffets are great!</p>
