A few weeks ago I stopped at a mcdonalds and caught what looked like the manager packing burgers with his bare hands. Like, grabbing the patty, bun, lettuce, everything without gloves. I tried to take a picture but he saw me staring and put some gloves on.
Isn’t it normal for food service workers to just wash their hands rather than wear gloves? I don’t think I’ve ever seen gloves at a fast food place.
I don’t think there’s a single state in the US that allows you to make food without gloves.
The only exception I’ve seen is when you’re dealing with the ingredients before they’ve been cooked, like with pizzas.
They’re supposed to wash their hands and wear gloves. And, at least at the ones I work at, there are boxes of gloves at nearly every station so there’s no excuse to not have any on.
No its not normal. And it was an easy way to get fired at the restaurants I worked. Zero tolerance rules on food safety.
It’s normal in restaurants that aren’t fast food

100% this.
I’ve seen shops where workers are handling food and then working the register all with the same gloves on.
Then there’s this Korean spot I go to for fried chicken. They process payment and then put on fresh gloves right next to the register. Not making a show of it. Just workflow. Then they go handle/pack food and discard gloves after handing your order over.
Blew my mind.
They aren’t following health codes and should be reported. People not following rules IS NOT evidence for those rules being useless.
Or do you think murder should be legal because some do it anyways?
If I saw murder as frequently as fast food employees taking payment and handling food with the same gloves, yes. Absolutely should be legal for me to murder someone for taking my parking spot.

Maybe. But at least I’m not the type of person who calls people names when they oppose my views.
Good job opposing … checks notes … food and health safety rules…
Genuinely, pathetic.
Where’d I do that? I was trying to make murder legal idgaf about food and health.
That’s why we wouldn’t let undergrads wear gloves until the later years where they use toxic material. Better one kid gets a drop of acid on their hand than them spreading it everywhere.

Wrong. Skin has FAR more crevices than gloves, has more bacteria naturally on it, and has literal body fluid coming off of it.
If you think skin is as sanitary as gloves, you are a moron who knows nothing of basic germ theory or the foggiest idea of how gross biology is.

You can cite “conventional wisdom” all you want.
It will NEVER. EVER make skin less germ-prone than a fresh glove. Obstinance doesn’t make you right. It makes you a fool.

They are, in fact, NOT “as clean as each other”. That is stupid and what I said still directly refutes that stupid thought.

Again, you are only demonstrating how withered and underdeveloped your idea of germ theory is…
Do you think germs live well on a mostly sterile surface that contains no food or biological material? Or literally ON biological material?
You’re not even making arguments about how the food itself can be contaminated, or that behavioral patterns can make the glove harder to notice when it gets dirty. No… they’re just equivalent… fucking pathetic thought process, there bud.
