Tillis: Hand-washing policy should be up to businesses
A clip of U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis talking about deregulation extending to restaurant bathrooms has gone, ahem, viral.
Posted — UpdatedRepublican U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis was winding up a talk to the Bipartisan Policy Center earlier this week when talk turned to deregulation.
Tillis recalled how, as he was sitting in a coffee shop, he had been challenged on whether he would take his deregulatory philosophy so far as to not require food service employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom.
"I don't have any problem with Starbucks if they choose to opt out of this policy if they post a sign saying, 'We don't require our employees to wash the hands after leaving the restroom,'" Tillis said. "The market will take care of it."
