Those with a late night drive through service do seem to responsible for a great deal of street litter in the surrounding area.

Yep, KFC is much better :)
And, according to reports, those consoles are absolutely filthy; covered in germs; and unless you go off to the toilets, there is nowhere to go and wash your hands after using them, before you eat using your fingers :(

We have long used the term "McDump".

I believe you can send your order from your phone instead, and they start preparing it when they track you as getting close ...
You can do either - although they have a smaller order in person at the counter area than previously.
I went into one yesterday and they asked me to order at the kiosk< I said no and she persisted trying to get me to walk across and she would do it but I walked out, I just wished to order the old fashioned way and not play with their silly unhygienic machine
Naw Burger King or Frankie & Benny's for breakfast.
Perhaps a little inbreeding in your parts? It seems there are advantages to multicultural areas.
All the employees at the counter looked the normal size to me.
Are MacD's employing smaller people so they can fit more workers in the same floorspace, or to persuade customers their food isn't rather generous with the calories?

Coming up through France one day we decided a quick Big Mac take away would minimise delay getting to the ferry.
Suffering shit if they wasn't a french d*****ad ahead of me in the queue who insisted on discussing, at length, the finer points of the menu choices and then proceeded to pay with a cheque
I wish some of the pub diner chains would adopt something similar - perhaps a tablet on the table. I really hate having to go to the bar to order food.
Or tap it using your knuckle? I wonder how those who eat in carry the tray ... or get out of the toilets after washing their hands?
The world is 'covered in germs' (humanity being one of them atm) and yet we have manage to survive for millions of years with most of them?

Well yes, but there's a different class of germs on a Waitrose self-scan checkout ...

We like a cafe that is at the top of our road and we often use it before doing our weekly shop (and are on foot with the trolley).
An example of a std breakfast would be a large glass of orange juice, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon, sausage, egg, baked beans, two rounds of toast and a tea or coffee for £5.80.
Service polite, friendly and fast, food delivered very quickly (even when they are full and they often are), always 'just right' (everything hot and fully cooked, eggs just runny etc), clean cutlery, table, condiments and furniture.
But it's owned / run by a Turkish guy, the cooks are from the EU, our favourite waitress (who keeps all our order requirements in her head between visits) is from Latvia and the other from Spain, so no wonder it's all much better than the other native run cafes nearby. Our cafe understands the meaning / need for 'customer service'. ;-(

Re building up an immune system, Tesco's 'Every Little Helps' slogan applies pretty well.
Again, isn't a lot of this about being able to manage what you can measure. How many people consider the 'Kills 99% of household germs' still potentially leaves thousands (?) of germs it didn't kill?
And that even if you wash your hands regularly, many people don't and they will also have touched every surface, handle, knob and catch before you, even in your own home.
Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't bother taking any sensible precautions, just make sure they are sensible. Like, if we are out walking the dogs (and we *always* pick up after them etc), and then go somewhere where we might eat using our fingers, we would either wash our hands first or use a wet-wipe etc. If we can't do either we might hold our roll in the napkin etc.
That's not to say that the person prepping our food has washed their hands after taking our cash, nor the baker boxing up the rolls.
It can also depend a bit on the person. It seem I have a stronger constitution than the Mrs where we might eat the same thing (bought at the same time from the same place etc) and she might get a slight upset stomach from it and I wouldn't. Or she was going to have that anyway (because of the food itself) no matter what we had eaten?
We used to like a local burger van (the owners became our friends) because at least you could watch them at work, unlike most restaurants when the food is prepared 'out the back'.
You generally know somewhere is good when you are eating food alongside the local Council Food Hygiene Inspector. ;-)

Chat up a working man and find out where they eat; plenty of little caffs in the back streets where the tourists don't go.
Except that they are more likely to have brought them back from exotic holiday destinations
Go to Wetherspoons then. You can order everything via a phone app.

On an old QI, someone bought up the canard that there's more germs on a chopping board than a toilet seat, and David Mitchell in one of his reasons-why-I-enjoy-him rants commented that "well in that case, it's fine ..." making the point that *if* that was the case then clearly the lack of humans dropping dead from food poisoning suggested that whatever level of germery we are talking about, the average human constitution was capable of dealing with.
I'm not saying I'd choose to smear germs deliberately over my hands before eating. But that possibly whatever levels are found on the screens etc, arent' problematical.
It's also worth noting that the very setup of how these things are discovered involves a company that is being paid to find them, finding them.
And a final note is that a load of dead germs can still be as dangerous as live ones, if not more so.
