More than 60% of people eat out at least once a week in the US! Of course, we all love eating out every now and then, but many of us fail to see the very nasty dark side of restaurants.

In fact, a large number of restaurants are far from being the cleanest places you can eat at. In other words, you can easily end up sick because of a nice dinner out.

Although not life-threatening, a restaurant can get you infected with awful germs through many different ways.

#1 – The Bathroom

This one is obvious, but you should know that you can actually judge the cleanliness level of a restaurant based on its bathroom state. The first thing you should do after entering the bathroom is to check if there’s a cleaning schedule posted on a door or wall. Also, use your nose; if the place smells dirty then it definitely is.

To wash your hands, use plenty of liquid soap and warm water, dry them with a paper towel, and use it to open the door before you throw it away. It’d be even better if you could use some hand sanitizer on your way to the table.

Remember that not everyone uses the bathroom to wash their hands, or worse, don’t even bother washing their hands after doing other things.

#2 – The Table

Not touching the table is quite inevitable, I know. But it was found by microbiologists that the typical restaurant table includes enough germs and bacteria to cause illnesses, particularly among children, the elderly, and people with a weakened immunity.

Also, you may not want to ask the waiter/waitress to wipe down the table. According to studies, the rag used to clean restaurant tables is likely never washed properly, making your table extra gross. Place a napkin between your arms and the table to prevent contact and don’t you lay a finger on the tabletop.
