Trump sported neither gloves not a hair net as he worked at a branch of the fast food chain in Pennsylvania
…
Earlier this year, this location didn’t meet the compliance requirements of the Bucks County Health Department. A health inspection in March at the Feasterville-Trevose location resulted in four violations, including citing employees not having their “hands clean & properly washed.”
“Food employees are not washing their hands as required before putting on gloves, after handling soiled tableware, after handling raw meat, before handling clean tableware, equipment, utensils. CFSM must review hand washing requirements with staff. Observed employees handling raw beef with gloves and then switching gloves without hand washing step in-between,” the health inspector wrote.
The report also noted a lack of hairnets: “Food workers are not wearing hair restraints as required, which includes management that assists in packaging and preparing food. Employees shall wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, that are effectively designed and worn to keep their hair from contacting exposed food; clean equipment, utensils and linens; and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles.”
Thing is, wearing gloves in the first place is part of the issue, it gives a false sense of cleanliness and makes people not wash their hands as often as they should.
Edit: Downvote all you want, I’ve got my training in hygiene and sanitary practices in a kitchen environment, you wear gloves, you don’t feel that your hands are dirty, you don’t clean them as often. Gloves should be worn when you hurt your hands, that’s it.
To expand in that. If someone wears gloves and touches e.g. raw chicken and then something else it’ll contaminate it and anything they’ll touch afterwards.
People asking for gloves are usually misguided. As said, due to gloves they’ll not charge gloves or wash when needed. And that’s pretty often.
Strangely there’s some huge craziness where there’s loads of comments that ask for gloves and think it’ll improve hygiene. While to me gloves indicate a poor hygiene understanding.
