The latest incident at the chain pizza store in West Virginia shows not just the lack of hygiene but also the mental state of people. Though the employee was suspended and the restaurant in question shut down, the problem lies deeper down. It is a complete disregard for the fellow human beings that can make a person act in such a disgraceful manner. It is not just the who cares attitude but a deep rooted hatred, maybe a jealousy for those who have greater privileges. All in all, it can be said that it is a case of lack of humanity.
I remember a similar incident in Pune where a poor roadside vendor was badly beaten up by the mob for a similar act. The difference between the two culprits was that one was a poor illiterate villager having a hand to mouth existence while the other a manager. While the wrong was same, the treatment meted out was different.
But one thing remains that after getting to know about such incidents, one tends to loose faith in human goodwill. It is not possible to trust anyone with even a simple thing as eating out. It may be called a death of morality but whatever it is, it is definitely not good for the humanity.
