If people are doing proper hand hygiene, then you need not worry.

True. Chef in a restaurant? No problem.
But expecting minimum wage workers doing mindnumbing factory work to do that perfectly every time and never cut corners without significant oversight seems… unlikely.
Also let’s think about why they’re not wearing gloves. Do you think it’s for any reason other than cost cutting?

Minimum wage workers doing mind numbing factory work also do dumb shit wearing gloves like scratch their face or tie their shoes, regularly.

There are a LOT of minimum wage workers in restaurants too. You say “chef” and it conjures images of some fancy restaurant. But why is a fancy chef more able to wash his hands than a fast food employee? It’s not a high art.
I think expecting every food worker to wear gloves is silly and unnecessary. And assuming it’s just cheaping out when they don’t wear gloves… wow that’s just crazy talk IMO. Have you ever worked food service?

Not wearing gloves could be a tactile thing. I wear gloves when cleanup would be a real hassle without them (wood finishing, working with epoxies), but I prefer not to when possible because I can’t feel what I’m doing as well.

I’d rather they have a hand-washing policy that is not only ruthless but also ruthlessly enforced.

If I’ve learned one thing from this thread it’s that gloves give some people a highly exaggerated sense of cleanliness. For that perception, we are tossing bajillions of plastic gloves into landfills daily.

Whenever I see a sandwich factory my mind automatically goes to Freddy Got Fingered

Nothing mores appetising than ham being described as a “log”

For a second I thought they wear masks the wrong way, then I realized that those are hair nets for their beards.
But yeah, especially seeing the rest of their clothing the lack of gloves is weird.

Gloves can actually be less sanitary.
How so?
I think there was a study that confirmed it too. The main factor being you’re more likely to feel and wash a soiled hand than change a soiled glove.
They can get caught in the conveyor and pieces could get into the sandwiches. I don't wear gloves when milling metals with harsh coolants cause the loose material can get caught and rip a finger off suddenly.
