Starfruit not washed before they were juiced
I ORDERED two glasses of freshly squeezed starfruit juice at the
Housemen's Cafeteria in Changi General Hospital on Tuesday.
The vendor took the starfruit out of the carton, cut and juiced
them without washing them. When I questioned the vendor's assistant
about it, she said that he had forgotten to do so.
However, the vendor was obviously displeased with my comment and
shot me dark looks. I refused to accept the drinks and walked
away.
I am highlighting this incident because it is ironic that a vendor
at a hospital could be so ignorant or careless about hygiene.
What if the medical personnel become sick after consuming
unhygienically prepared drinks?
Perhaps the management of the hospital could ensure that hygiene is
observed.
