The doorless designs they have at westfield are a godsend and should be the standard for public toilets, that or make sure they're push to exit.

We have some green stuff at work with that fine gritt stuff in it, use that and a alcohol and a sink. I opt to shake my hands dry though seeing as they still have one of them gross towels on the wall for drying your hands on.

Yes and the anti-bacterial pump soap or whatever it is called. Always doing it before and after handling food. I'm not sure how often I wash my hands in a day but it's a lot.
Wash my hands after a no.2 but after a wee it's normally just a quick swish under the water. You're at a urinal so not touching anything but your trousers and a piece of flesh that should be as clean as the rest of you, a quick rice under water will get any urine that has splashed back after.
I find too many people are way too clean and obsessive about it, they're normally the people that are ill as well...
That said, I don't work in a food environment.

If by experience you mean "casual observation while using the toilet myself"....
That 40% who do probably includes the ones who wouldn't normally wash their hands, but have a witness, so do.....

You must be a hit at parties.
Personally I'd rather run the rather minuscule risk of getting a bit of dicky tummy from shaking someone's hand than effectively insult everyone I meet but horses for courses....

I always wash with soap after a number 2 but I'm quite happy to use just water with a number 1.
When walking out of a public toilet I use either a piece of toilet paper or paper towel to open the doors with and then throw it in a bin.
One of the worst offenders I saw was a Consultant who went the toilet at the same time as me in a morning. Over about a month I'd witnessed him walking straight out of a trap many times so I ended up asking him if he was ever going to wash his hands.
He went ballistic, took my name, my managers name and ended up contacting him. I'd already pre-warned him and he took my side 100% and asked the Consultant if he wanted to take it higher. At the time I also gave lessons in hand washing techniques.

Out of principle because I know old people don't believe in cleanliness I try not to touch the toilet door handle with my bare hand....

See technically that is wrong - number 1 you have definitely touched genitals but with wiping your bum you never actually touch the bum so in essence is cleaner and less disease ridden....... :
After a pee no, after a poop, yes.
Although I do have issues with toilet design in general.
Why do doors always open into the toilet? You have to grab a dirty door handle just to get out.
Why have taps with handles when a foot pedal to control water flow would be more useful, no touching dirty taps then.
Some toilets have sensor flushes so no need to touch = win

Christ, get a grip.
I cringe in public toilets, just overly aware of all the bacteria that is lingering
