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.

Yeah but… remove your gloves before leaving shop floor, put on gloves when entering shop floor is much easier to enforce than “did you wash your hands” - you can catch them blue handed (or not blue handed, as the case may be).
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?
They're making sandwiches, not scrubbing in for surgery.
Do you fully scrub your hands every time you prepare food? Every time you open a packet of crisps, every time you eat a cookie? Or is just food that's been touched by stupid poor people that you don't want to eat?
You sound like you need to get over yourself.
I’d rather they have a hand-washing policy that is not only ruthless but also ruthlessly enforced.
Whenever I see a sandwich factory my mind automatically goes to Freddy Got Fingered
Cheese sandwich
I've worked with food for long shifts before.
Your hands sweat. If you wear waterproof gloves for just a few minutes, they start to fill with sweat! This is fine for a few minutes but after a few hours your skin will be horrible, after a few days it will be horrific with your hands red raw and large chunks of your skin rubbing off easily.
Think about what your hand looks like after ten minutes in the bath, now imagine they are in a bath filled with your own sweat for 8 hours a day five days a week for month after month.
For anyone who has had to wear "hygienic" gloves for prolonged periods, it is obvious why you would not want your food preppers wearing them all day, unless you want your sandwich made by sickly sweaty hands that are constantly shedding skin and sweat at the wrists.
The people in this thread who don't want their sandwich touched by a dirty poor person that is too unreliable to wash their own hands need to take a good look at themselves. Realise that maybe you don't know what you're talking about, have a little faith in your fellow man and get out of your arse!
If you don't want someone with bare, clean hands touching your food, don't ever go to a restaurant. I worked in a kitchen for 5 years and wearing gloves is rare, it's for cutting hot peppers, etc. But when you're making meals, you just wash your hands and cook.
If you wanna know how its Actually made here is the real source:
I'd just like to point out "a jizz of mayonnaise" is actually a line in this video...
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.
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.
Nothing mores appetising than ham being described as a “log”
