If this were true in general, asmachta and haaramah wouldn't be halachic
topics. At times we are mindreaders, and say that the contract isn't
being taken seriously.

When a non-Jew is buying a collection of open edibles handled by a bunch
of strangers in a kitchen of unknown hygeine, I wonder how that line
isn't crossed.

Obviously this is just an observation, not a she'eilah, because the
answer is trivial -- the line is simply further out than my gut would
put it.

Tir'u baTov!
