Good point. You walk into the diner implicitly trusting the line cook and the bread baker and so on. Very similar to the chain of trust implicit in the tech we use. Only I believe the chain of trust in the tech to be much longer and proven to have been repeatedly broken in recent decades. Also, line cooks have the luxury of tossing out loafs of bread that have moulded over.
