@FlowerBear I think that is sick also. I have at times said to the worker' I know your really busy and it didn't crossed your mind to take your gloves off and wash your hands and put on a fresh pair of gloves" When your finished with money. , but you really should. And they were kind and did it.I was very pleased.

@Nonametoday She may have been upset with herself because she didn't remember herself.

Food-service people who make sandwiches in deli
stores change gloves or should change gloves each time they handle some non-food item.
I go through as many as three or four pairs of those disposable gloves whenever preparing raw meat for a meal. Couldn't live without them.
If I had to wash my hands many times a day, my skin would crack and fall off!!
Thank goodness for the gloves and a nearby trash can to throw them in.
@novamc1 Don't you love that you can open the trash can with your foot so there is no need to dirty your hands or gloves with that chore.

We need proper education but that alone is not enough. There must be enforcement to protect the public.
In my other life, I was a supervisor/weekend kitchen manager at a very large nursing home. We had one huge kitchen, and 7 dining rooms with small serving kitchens...
You mentioned "enforcement" of HACCP Rules. My Nickname there was "The KITCHEN WITCH" "LOL!"
It's been almost 20 years since we had to move (husband transfer)...I still miss my job...

I am so careful it gets on my children's and my husband's nerves. But I don't care. Gloves are cheap compared to medications and healthcare costs. He is diabetic and I just take extra care in making sure he does not get infections. I use a bazillion spatulas, forks, knives and spoons in preparing food because I don't want to cross-contaminate. When I tell people I wash 3 loads of dishes per day they wonder how for just 2 people. That's how.
I don't blame you at all -- you're very proactive!

What gets me is when I see cooking shows where the people aren't covering, or even securing, their hair back. For me there is nothing more disgusting than finding, or eating, a hair in my food!!
YES --- I am glad you brought that up! Not securing hair is another pet peeve of mine!!!!

I emailed this well known restaurant and told them what happened, identified the employee. Surprisingly, they emailed me back telling me the steps they had taken to educate this employee on proper sanitation needs for their restaurant. They wanted my address to send me certificates for free meals, but I told them I didn't want anything from them just wanted them to know what happened while I was dining there.
How disgusting! I have never witnessed this, but I am sure it happens. I have seen other people though when I am in a restroom just leaving without handwashing --- gag!

If they are wearing gloves, but touching everything, the only one being protected is the person wearing them ! Not the customer.
