Personally, all they do is make me think about the possibility of food-handling employees NOT washing their hands, a thought that never would have occurred to me had I not seen the sign.
The fact that some of them have detailed instructions makes me question the competence and cleanliness of said employees.
The fact that the instructions are sometimes given in Spanish... Well, let's not even open up that can of worms...
Thoughts?
These are perplexing. Are they to make customers feel better, or are they reminders to the employees? If it's the latter, are they really that poorly trained that they need this notice?
Similarly perplexing: Signs at places like 7-11 that read "No loitering/Police take notice." Is "police take notice" a request to the police that they help enforce the "no loitering" part, or is it a warning to would-be loiterers? If it's the latter, can't the loiterers tell if cops are nearby?
I imagine food service employers are required to place these signs in restrooms that are used by employees per health code. I doubt anyone is putting up hand washing instructions because they think it's useful.

Of course they're mandated by law. But the original question remains.
Do you think the letsrun.com corporate headquarters restroom has one?
Related, do they have a ladies restroom?

Why would anyone need a ladies' room nowadays?
I have to agree with the OP. Interesting to note that upscale restaurants do NOT have such signs posted, indicating that restaurants are under no legal obligation to post them

Employees might have a separate washroom.
Hahaha, hahaha.
Unless the employee has cholera or some crazy shit, you're not likely to be at much risk. And if they only took a piss, urine is one of the most sterile liquids you can find. Very toxic to most microbes. Worry more about what drug-resistant stuff might have colonized their hands due to sanitizer use.
But this is the solution to your skepticism.
Even if it's fake, a "didn't wash hands" sign should scare anyone into washing to be on the safe side.
That is awesome. Thanks Bad!

When I saw the sign in a Church it gave me pause.

Typically people hold the hose so to speak, they don't place their fingers into the stream.

what is even more perplexing is why anyone would want to hang out outside a convenience store. I've only seen anything that could be considered loitering going on at a 7/11 once. Some suburban teens were skateboarding in the parking lot.

Wouldn't that be a warning rather than request? It would be written "Police, take notice" rather than "Police take notice"

I hope you can acknowledge that you speak from a place of privilege when you say things like this. Maybe YOU have better places to hang out. That doesn't mean everyone is so fortunate.
At either Barnes and Noble or the now defunct Borders, there was a hand written addendum under the "Employees must wash hands" that read "and minds" which I thought was clever.

Ideally. But public signs are often grammatically unclear.
It is Does, not Do
Your grammar does not inspire confidence.
