Does it really make you feel safer?

Question

for the food handler wearing those plastic gloves? they still touch everything, worst now they don't even wash their hands because of the gloves? do you really feel safe and clean just because they wear gloves? are we all going paranoid? and do things just for "feel good" sake?

Answer 1

yeah because with gloves their nails are covered, if they dont wear gloves all the c**p under their nails, whether theyre short or long get into the food even if they wash their hands.

Answer 2

I know I feel the same way...I think it would be better if they had a rule that you have to change or wash them like you wash your hands everytime you touch something that would require being washed off with soap and hot water.

Answer 3

I remember eating at Subway back in the 80s and none of the food handlers wore gloves. Very few people did wear them back then. (shudder)  

Answer 4

You think that's paranoid and pointless?

In Italy, every supermarket has disposable gloves which customers are supposed to wear (and almost everyone does) while selecting fruit and vegetables from the open displays and putting them in plastic bags.

Like I'm ever going to eat a tomato without washing it first...

Answer 5

Not really.  They are only as safe as the person handling the food.
