A pimply, greasy, meth smoking teen jerked off into my the cheese sauce. Or at least bragged about it to one of the co-workers.
Needless to say we had to dump the batch. As if they wasn’t bad enough, when we dumped it, the bottom was caked in some kind of disgusting mold. It had probably been weeks or months since it had been emptied or cleaned
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.
Gloves in a kitchen is just an illusion of hygiene. The gloves can be dirty and hands can be washed while gloves can't. So what you've actually done is pressured a hapless manager into following an arbitrary rule and I don't think that's very nice of you.
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.
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.
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.
...in Australia at least, it would be very illegal to run a food service business where the employees have to go all the way to the bathroom to wash their hands.
