Probably comes from the beef itself since it’s an outbreak on a wide scale.
McDonald’s workers where I live don’t wear gloves yet there’s no outbreak. Wearing gloves isn’t more sanitary (it increases the odds that people won’t clean their hands often enough), you still touch the gloves to put them on, if your hands are dirty the gloves are contaminated, if someone touches the gloves box with dirty hands then the surface is contaminated and cross contamination can happen every time someone takes a pair of gloves.
It’s not gross because he’s not wearing gloves, it’s gross because he probably never washes his hands after digging in his ass all day.
Get your reasons this man is disgusting straight people!
I wrote a similar comment about this exact same situation on another post but from a more healthcare oriented perspective. Specifically that unless you have open cuts / sores on your hands as a healthcare worker, clean but nonsterile gloves do not protect the patient! They are an OSHA requirement in place to protect the worker from exposure to bodily fluids and caustic cleaning chemicals. And for chemo you glove twice.
Sterile gloves, which are used to protect a patient from infection and are used for surgeries and specific types of bedside procedures like urine catheterization, are packed in sealed packages in single pairs and must be applied in a highly specific way by a trained individual, the minimum license usually being an LPN and more often an RN.
Unless that beef patty is acidic enough to burn your hands while preparing it (and if it is I shudder to think what it would do to a stomach) gloves out of a 100-count box ain’t protecting anybody from anything and at their worst are bamboozling people out of washing their damn hands.
Plus, consider how much plastic waste that comes to. I’ve seen people describe them changing gloves several times an hour to comply with food safety laws. We don’t have outbreaks of this shit because people wash their hands and don’t rely on gloves.
Stupid fearmongering drivel. Yes, you can contaminate gloves. That doesn’t make them worse than leaky skin, you actual moron.
Do you want your surgeons to wear gloves? If you say, “yes”, then you are exposing your utterly moronic double standard. If you say, “no”, then you truly do not understand actual germ theory and why gloves DO help.
Ignorance is no excuse. You are trying to sound confidant while WRONG. Do better, fool.
Food service workers do not scrub down like OR personnel. They really need to wash their hands routinely and wear hairnets and not touch their privates. The whole thing of Subway employees donning a new pair of gloves for each sandwich is just theatre. Go into any professional kitchen away from public view and you will not see the cooks and chefs wearing gloves.
Surgeons wear sterilized gloves. Do you think those 100 gloves boxes are sterile?
How come food poisoning isn’t an issue where I live if cooks don’t wear gloves even though it’s the governmental norm? And I mean, in restaurants, in hospitals, in long term care buildings… No issues, no gloves… Weird right?
Also, did you know that healthcare workers mostly don’t wear gloves unless there’s a risk THEY will be exposed to YOUR fluids? Same reason over here we still wear gloves in professional kitchens when there’s a risk that our fluids will come in contact with the food, i.e. if we cut ourselves.

THANK YOU.

I saw an announcement yesterday saying it was from the onions.
Thanks for the correction!

Conversations I’ve had the last two days show that the theater really convinced some people
