a lemon in my water at places of eating. no thank you because from the video and personal observation hat would be a bad idea to accept them considering the fact that most people in those establishments behind the scenes are pretty dirty and non clean. but if you like lemon order away

Well I'v gotten lemon only a few times but never again will I do so. Especially in the restaurant world. If people should at least wear gloves or use prongs solely for the lemons. Its disgusting to have someone handle lemons after the have handled raw meat. So from now on I am not ordering lemon

I dont like lemons period so i wouldn't have a lemon added to my drink anyway... but anyways you shouldnt even trust tap water from restaurants not alone the lemons

I think that is just nasty. I did not know that lemons had that many different diseases on it. Next time I go to a restaurant i will think twice about that lemon in my drink.

Ive only gotten lemon with my drink once and im sure i wont want to do it again. If you work at a restaurant you should know not to share cutting boards or anything. Its other peoples decision on what they are going to do. But im not ordering lemon anymore

This doesn't surprise me one bit. It's not rocket science to realize that lemons are germ infested. Most germs can make you sick- so that doesn't surprise me either. I do always order a water with lemon.. and I put it in my drink. I know some restaurants have tongs where you can get the lemons youself to put on your drink, though, you have to think how did they get there. This opened my eyes some- and I'm going to think twice before ordering a water with lemon again.

That is so gross. I don't like lemons anyways so i never ask for them at restaurants. But that is just sick to think about all of the germs that would get into your drink. Restaurants should def. be careful for the health and well being of their customers.

I'm glad i never done that before in my life now i know not to say yes when they ask me do i wan lemons. Im going to say no because that is really disgusting you will more than likely catch something if you do that and it's a shame that the ppl who serves it have not stopped or realized it by now.

Well I dont order lemons in my drink anyways. So it dosent affect me if I will stop using them or not. But if I did like some other people I would reconcider using lemons. Just buy some lemon aid or somethin.

if lemons can do that i want them in my drink. and in my belly. kill my useless bacteria. i no want it.

That is crazy. I like lemon in my water, but I don't understand how their is so many germs just on a lemon out of everything in the restaurant? Wouldn't everything have the same germs? So if you don't eat the lemons, why would you eat or drink anything. I work at Lonestar, and have personally cut lemons in the lemon cutter. I don't find it gross, the way we do it. I don't see the difference in cutting a lemon at home or getting it from a restaurant.

I think that it is bad to serve drinks with lemons if there has been 77% chance of deasese causing germs on these lemons people a taking big risks just for a sqeeze of lemon. I had told one of my teachers about this and she thinks she will keep on using these lemons, "Ive been ordoring lemons in my drinks for years if it hasnt hurt so far." Many people have different perspectives i about different topics but i believe that there alot of desease causing bacteria on alot of food that we eat everyday and from restaurants i just think that from the growing amount of deseases that citizens and workers should try to do more to be sanatary or keep your foods fresh and clean.
