I doubt there is a similar education campaign for appropriate hygiene for servers with cold sores. The only thing between a customer and a cold sore is the server's judgement, but I'd prefer if further steps were taken to help protect diners from contracting a cold sore from restaurant staff, if it indeed is even an issue.
My friends and I have talked about how troubling we find being served by somebody with a cold sore, but I guess people on Calgary Puck don't worry about such trivialities like contracting herpes at restaurants and I'm just a paranoid basket case.

Its not that your paranoid, its that you are paranoid about the wrong things. How about the guy running the grill handling raw chicken and then cooked chicken with the same pair of tongs with just rinsing them in water between. Or that Salad bar food not being chilled enough allowing bacteria cultures to grow. Or the salad bar food not being rotated properly so that new food is just stuck on top allowing the food on the bottom to spoil.
And hand washing doesnt' happen consistantly amoungst minimum wage employees. It doesn't even happen consistantly in hospitals with highly paid doctors and nurses. So don't believe a fancy sign is protecting you there.
