Does anyone really believe the salt shakers were emptied out, sanitized, refilled with fresh salt and put back out on the table??? 

LOL

Glad you informed the server.  I avoid using items left at the tables.  I used to work in a hospital and saw a patient licking a salt shaker.  😳 I also avoid buffets.  I have watched big and little people putting their grubby hands in food.

Yes since the waiter did go and retrieve them from the table.

We know this.  My observation has to do with what happened to those salt shakers after they were removed.

Just because the waiter removed them doesn't mean they were cleaned.

Why so contrary? I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that they were emptied, cleaned and refilled.

I'm glad you told the staff that too, since no one thinks something like that goes on. Children spread a lot of germs since they come in contact with so many other children as a rule (depending on ages). Does no good to wash hands, when germs are so widely spread by mouth too.

It's a natural thinkg for a baby to do.  I'd be more worried about what goes on behind the kitchen doors.  I've worked in restaurants and I've seen things that would make you never enter a restaurant again.

This was no infant/baby. The kid was 3 - 4 years old.

My daughter teaches second grade.  She comes home with horror stories on a daily basis. My dog is better behaved than a lot of children I see when I am out. I trained the dog to be a joy to have around. I acted as a parent to my children, I wasn't their friend until they became adults. I would never have allowed such behavior, but I am "old school". My children were polite and respectful of others and their property and still are as adults.

@CatLoverDogsToo...we often take our little dog out to eat with us where he is allowed to go. I put him on a chair next to me and always order something he can have a bite of. He sits quietly, often looking at the unruly children running around acting like little hellions. Once they see him and want to pet him, I let them know he is eating, not playing. He looks at me as if he to say THANK YOU! He knows if he goes out to eat with us he must behave...and he does.

@SurferWifeWhat restaurants allow dogs?  I have never heard of this.  We have state laws against having animals in restaurants.  I find this idea really strange.  I love dogs and mine even sleeps with me, but I don't think I'd go to a restaurant where dogs were sitting at the table eating.

It's not only children. There was a lady on her way out of our local diner, until she saw someone she knew. She stood 3 boothes away and told the world  about her colonoscopy, how horrible her job was, and her "pathetic" elderly father. For 40 minutes... and finally I said Seriously, I am trying to eat.

I don't know why I said it, but I couldn't take it any longer.

At best they were wiped off with a bar rag.
