I grab a cup coffee from a shop and it's ruined because the barista is wearing cologne or perfume that inevitably has gotten on the cup and it's all I can smell when I take a sip. I guess 2 things, this means 1 they haven't thoroughly washed their hands, and 2 I can't drink the coffee because it smells so bad and I have to throw it out. Not sure why, but I haven't had this happen with any other type of food/drink, just coffee.

But not everyone sticks to that! (Also why the OP suggested that it means they haven't done it)

It requires a human to do a thing. It doesn't happen automatically.

I guess what I mean is, if you have indication that frequently baristas are serving food without following hand washing protocol, maybe something bigger is going on that if OP has a smell sensitivity or not. The stores should be informed they are not operating correctly.

You're not wrong! That is behavior that should be addressed - much moreso at food-related businesses than like, the hardware store, but is just good-human behavior when you interact with others. (Not everyone does that tho)

And if it is repeatedly happening at one place, it might just be someone working there who isn't doing the right thing. (Or the soap there is potent and not in a way that you like.) If it seems like it's happening everywhere, it could be more of a sensitive sniffer thing... Which isn't really a Big Deal, it just is. Like the reason we are expected to wear less cologne/perfume in some spaces, to account for others' sensitivity or allergy. As a courtesy
