Yes. So what about scoops? You haven't addressed scoops. Or tongs or whatever is used to transport food into the container? They would get more contaminated than the server's hands ever would. And how does this work with deliveries.
Further, ideally, the person handling cash would be a different individual to the one serving food. The person/s handling cash shouldn't be touching food

One person is responsible for collecting money, one person is responsible for packaging, and another person is responsible for delivering packaged food to customers.

He shows up, one of us gets to kill his various nations for the mod olympics and delete all his posts which takes maybe 10 second, rinse, repeat.

How is this cat making eighteen threads and I periodically have to identify all the pictures with a plane in it?
...this is probably not the place to ask that question.

Correct. The person who handles cash doesn't touch the food. Which means that Noble Hobo's point about paying cash then touching food is wrong, because those tasks are handled by two separate persons. But I meant about delivery was, if we ban plastic containers, how do you package food for delivery?

It's apparently impossible to clean a scoop. And apparently impossible to scoop food without touching the container.
And how does this work with deliveries.
Deliveries would have to be in the shop provided container. Just make sure the customer is paying the 50c or whatever, for the container, and we're good.

Good idea. Of course you won't require it by law ... how about requiring that OR washing hands every time, by law?
On a slightly different note, how about requiring an extra charge for the use of cash? To discourage customers from doing such a dirty thing which requires extra effort by staff ..?

That's a McDonalds or something. Maybe all "take away" in China is built on that scale and you don't have any with 1 person serving and 1 person cooking.
Employing a third person just to handle money isn't really an option for the little places. They'd much rather not take cash at all.

Au Contraire. Most little places are cash only.

Nope. Basic HACCP requirements. HACCP is the minimum global standard. In most countries, HACCP is the minimum standard to avoid getting your restaurant shut by the health inspector.

Most customers like to pay in cash. You don't have to pay credit card fees. You don't have to pay debit card fees. The fees are killers for small businesses, and arguably, a form of extortion. You can still use cash if the electrical system fails. Cash is immediate. Sometimes you have to wait a couple business days for a card transaction to process, whilst cash is immediate. Cash is much faster. You pay, get your change, you're done. Prevents card fraud. You have to have enough credit card terminals to process every customer, and depending on the ratio of customers who pay by card, it becomes expensive. You have to get someone to actually pick up the terminal, bring it to you, wait for the card to process, then take it to the next customer. With credit cards, the number of transactions is limited by the number of terminals you have, how much battery is remaining, and how quickly you can transport them from one customer to another. Cash has no limitation. Ultimately, it's cheaper and easier.
Plus, if you're the kind to disobey the law, cash is good for tax avoidance and allows you to have under-the-table staff

Emmm...Well . Usually we don't use cash, but pay by mobile phone.Just stick a QR code on the door, and the owner will put the goods on the table at the door If there's only one person in the store.I hate cash and I don't need cash now
However, I am not happy that KFC and McDonald's nearby have closed the cash register recently and only allow me to order food with app.I had to do operation myself, and before that I just had to say what I wanted to eat.

And now I think we're done debating.
I conceded most of your points.
I did not concede your main claim, that customer reusable containers should not be allowed.
I put my own view that they should be allowed (not mind you, that shops be required to accept them), AND that there should be a charge for any disposable container.
I didn't bother making the argument that reusable plastic is pollution and should be discouraged, because plainly you don't give a fuck about pollution. Not interested, right?
With that last note I was trying to return our conversation to something even vaguely related to covid-19.
Do you have any alternative way to discourage customers from using cash? Or are we just going to rely on food staff to do what you admit the general public doesn't ...
