I can’t even count the number of guys that come out of the bathroom stall at my current job* and head out the door without washing their hands. Statistically speaking, most of them are not just peeing. Also, in the Arizona heat, a guy’s downstairs is about the equivalent of a sweaty armpit. It’s really not the urine that worries me.

*Call center environment. People share desks, phones, keyboards, mice, etc. When one person gets sick it spreads pretty quickly.

Urine, of course, is essentially sterile.

Meh Why have the hand shake at all??
Also an automatic 20% on any restaurant bill is a completely ridiculous thought. Why not then just work the 20% into the total cost of each item on the menu and not have servers get tips at all. The whole point of tipping is that it is dependent on the level of service you receive an, in theory, is an incentive to provide better service

wow, I read this a little late, but I like the ideas on here. And I bet all of the people below touch doorknobs, elevator buttons, handrails, and cash regularly.

I’m with Jeanie Conner, not interested in shaking hands anymore, driven a big truck for years, started paying attention to hand washing a few years ago, my guess, less than 25% wash, yuck.
Howie Mandel has a point.

I like the idea. The watch could detect the pressure change when you shake the hand to authorize the payment. Kind of how MYO works.

I just read your interview with Vice on Soylent. I admire the idea of cost and time efficiency with a well rounded, meal-replacement, health product. However as a foodie I could see this getting boring.

The idea of a chip inserted in a ring or a watch does leave the possibility of theft, however I think you’re onto something with the insertion of a micro-chip payment system under the skin. The thought crossed my mind the other day. I would be all for the freedom of not having to carry around the cards, cash and wallet holding the method of payments. It would decrease lost possessions and the time spent finding them. Heck we could even wire the lock systems of our homes and alleviate the need for keys!
