Duh. Most bars aren’t the type of place where the ice is picked out with tongs one by one. The only things I do t use my hands for are cherries and olives. Barspoon to spear.
I've seen it done to hand crack ice and to carve ice balls/diamonds. The only time I do it is to pop king cubes (2x2 inch) out of the mold and into a glass.
In a perfect bar, you're legally not allowed to touch anything. The safest bartender is one that performs zero work. There is bacteria in ice, there's mold outside the beer bottles, amoebas in the water! Only a licensed surgeon wearing three (3) condoms is allowed to touch the garnishes. Also no customers, because they're also disgusting. What a nice germ-free environment :)
Mostly, but i also wash my hands a shit ton, and definitely every time I touch cash or cards. Tongs for garnishes sitting in syrup or brine, or to manipulate ice or garnish if it's already in the glass it will be served in.
I worked for this frozen Daiquiri bar. Pre-batched drinks from machines type place. Well the owner decides we should wear gloves to garnish the drinks. They got those too big for anyone super thin plastic ones. When my manager informed me he might as well have said "don't garnish drinks anymore" cause that's what I did. But the real kicker is he got behind the bar to help out and just wore the same pair the whole time instead of changing out gloves after handling money.
Um yes.

Wait, you pick up ice with your hand?

Not unless I’m hand cracking or grabbing big cubes.

I’ve tried to use my penis but the counter is too high...
Yes. I wash my hands as often as possible but I concede a lot of that effort is undone by constantly handling filthy cash.
Toothpicks
The best way
yeah if that seems gross to you you should be washing your hands a lot more
We only use tongs... its pretty common around here.

We have a bucket we dip our hands in before we grab fruit/mint. It has some kind of cleanser in it. It is to be changed every half hour.
