The Sugar Tongs

So it happens in a fancy restaurant.

One day, the hygiene commission arrives to see if the criteria are respected and the restaurant is clean and safe etc.

They observe that every time someone orders a coffee with sugar, the waiters take one sugar cube with their fingers and put it next to the coffee, on the little plate. The inspector is disgusted by that behavior and tells to the boss : "you ...must never touch the sugar with your hands ! What if an employee has been to the toilet and didn't wash their hands ? Use sugar tongs instead."

So the boss gathers his employees and tells them : "Here, take these. We've been told we had to use them, because sometimes you might go to the toilet without washing your hands, or whatever..." and he gives each waiter a pair of sugar tongs.

Moments later, the boss is wandering around when he sees one of the waiters preparing a coffee, and taking the sugar cube with his hands.



"What did I tell you earlier ?! Where are your tongs ?"

The waiter takes them from his pocket ; "here boss !"

"Why are you not using them ?"

"But, boss... I use them, like you told us ! Every time I go to the toilet !"
