Arrogant bosses don't like their underlings pointing out to the deficits in the way they are managing their group. Arrogant bosses don't take employee suggestions seriously unless they see it as personally beneficial.
Arrogant bosses don't like employees who push issues they aren't personally concerned about.
You have to decide what is more important to you: keeping your job or pushing your idea about how everyone else is doing their jobs. You may not want to work with a company that doesn't have a high standard of cleanliness and that is okay. But if you want to continue working there, just let it go; you've voiced your opinion and they know how you feel. If you push it any further, you are only going to step on toes and piss people off, instead of just being mocked. The mocking will subside in time if you stop giving them fresh reasons to do it.
One more reason to let it go, other than keeping your job and not creating an unpleasant working environment for yourself... Future employers might not want to hire someone who was known for making waves at their last job, no matter what the reason was. Employers want to hire employees who will work in harmony with the current staff.
If you find their practices unacceptable, quietly find a new place of employment with stricter standards. Just try not to force the standards you have onto your place of employment until you are the boss.
I see that though he doesn't know the whole side to the story and is assuming more than what I had said.
I do plan to ask if there is a problem and speak to him about what I had heard. I am not going to say that his thoughts upon the situation are crap. There doesn't need to be daily drama from this though.
I clearly want to hear what he would have to say since there has not been a straight talk about it with him; only through e-mail. He had said thank you back didn't ever tell me that they weren't concerned. I will tell him that I want to work in a good work environment and that I have nothing to complain about the job itself.
Of course you aren't going to call his thoughts crap.
But if he's the arrogant type, he probably won't take kindly to any advisement from an underling. He might act calm and congenial while you're speaking to him, and then feel pissed off about it all the same. Sometimes no amount of explaining will do you justice when dealing with someone's fragile ego. What seems like a logical, drama-free, discussion to you, could still feel like an attack to him.
If you tell him you want to work in a good work environment, and also mention that you have noticed the hand-washing habits of all of your co-workers, then it may come across as criticism, no matter how nonchalantly you put it.
Pick your battles, as the saying goes. Don't be surprised if it doesn't go according to your logic if you feel you absolutely must sort it out with him.
Listen, your boss doesn't care about your opinions, but he will care if you state them- in a bad way. He wants you to shut up and do your job as he tells you to, like almost every other boss. Don't confront him, you'll piss him off. That's the -only- thing you'll accomplish by confronting him. Believe me, what you're dealing with is hardly drama. If you talk to him, you'll be labeled the drama. Let it go. You're talking about a new job, just take it and let this go.
For the record, just about any facility you work in will not follow it's own rules. This is something you need to adjust to. You'll see a lot of shitty things happen. Not a damn thing you can do. Keep your head down and choose your battles wisely.
I am not going to confront him. Speaking on how you feel, not what they are doing wrong isn't confronting. Saying I feel " " when this happens and so on...
And yes I do know that people are like this everywhere; but that doesn't mean you can not let your guard down. Do your work and don't let things get to you but speak up when you do need to in a calm, positive manner.
I do plan on calling the health department when I leave though. Though a lot of time they don't catch what was called on.
I also had to put that don't think this didn't shine another light toward me. Because I can also just show I am confident when I see them around. If I walk by and overhear them again I will just say "is that right" and walk by or look at them with a smile because that was me before this had gone downhill.
Dealing with an issue at work right now; what are your thoughts; IIN?

Yes, I agree on what you had said.
Thanks for your comments.
