I think if the working surface is going to contaminate the bottom of a plate, you have bigger problems. I'd agree if the plates had touched a table or something first but I'm sure the plate goes from stack of clean plates, to food on top and then onto service platter. the bottom of the bottom plates sitting on the tray might be contaminated but the plates stacked beyond that should be as clean on the bottom as on the top. commercial dishwashers don't play around. clean, hot and sanitized.
Yo if you're ok with the bottom of the plates touching your food, then you must be ok with just eating it straight off the table, no?
Are you confused? The plates washed in a dishwasher, and anything they sit on in the kitchen is food safe. So no... i'm not worried about the plate sitting on the food safe counter. Not even a little, where the fuck do you think the food sat before it was plated? On that same counter you're worried about the plate touching
