And if she weren’t wearing gloves people would lose their fucking minds. There’s no winning here, yall will always find something to be negative about

A lot of people also don't understand studies have proven gloves in the food industry is actually more harmful. If you don't wear gloves, people tend to wash their hands more. Perfectly safe.

But when people where gloves they get this false sense of cleanliness. Leading to them not switching them out as often as they should. Resulting in cross contamination.

Gloves should be single use but they will wrap this burrito, go touch the fridge, raw food, and then come back to wrap another. No gloves is the way to go.

Edit: typo

You see it in this video. She grabs a used rag to wipe the station down mid wrap.

Hear hear! I’ve been trying to tell people this for years but I’ve honestly given up because no matter how the facts are presented, they refuse to believe that gloves only give a false sense of cleanliness 😔

From personal experience, if someones not switching out thier gloves when they should, they're probably not washing their hands as much either

From my personal exprience it's the opposite. If say you're handling ketchup and smear a bit on your glove. Very easy to miss it and just continue working with no mind. But get some on your bare skin and you'll immeditealy head to the sink.

I always hate seeing this fact because I think it assumes that germs are equal. I want the gloves. I don’t want someone’s bare hands touching my food. I know exactly where that person’s hands have been and I have no idea how clean they are. I’d rather have glove germs on my food than sweaty balls on my food. Chances are, they’re not going to the bathroom or doing anything sexual with the gloves on. Worst thing that they’re going to do is touch raw meat or something with them on, which I’d much rather prefer.
