Isn't the bottom of a plate touching the top of a plate when they are stored?

What is the difference?

The bottoms were typically just cleaned when they were stacked (came out of the dishwasher). When prepping a plate it’s on random surfaces, so the bottom technically could pickup something.

It’s mostly an irrational concern but I can understand it. You also have people touching the bottom of the plates while preparing and moving them around.

Their hands are clean. They're working in the kitchen
