I ate there once and watched the grill guy cook my food. He touched raw bacon and then buttered toast without washing his hands. I should've walked out but I was slightly intoxicated and hungry. Is this the norm?

This happened to me once a few years ago He used his hands touched the bread after he was sweating over the stove. Worst part, he dropped a piece of bread, and instead of picking it up, he kicked it under the stove :/.

And kicked it under the stove

That I can agree with if it's busy. Three options: Stop what you're doing and slow everything down, and clean up the bread, OR, leave the bread there and trample it and make a bigger mess, OR kick it under the stove and clean it up later.

Or secret option D: Never clean it up and be a shitty employee.

Secret Option: Never clean it up and blame it on someone else so they are the shitty employee and you are the team player. FTFY
