    A few weeks ago I stopped at a mcdonalds and caught what looked like the manager packing burgers with his bare hands. Like, grabbing the patty, bun, lettuce, everything without gloves. I tried to take a picture but he saw me staring and put some gloves on.

      Isn’t it normal for food service workers to just wash their hands rather than wear gloves? I don’t think I’ve ever seen gloves at a fast food place.

        No its not normal. And it was an easy way to get fired at the restaurants I worked. Zero tolerance rules on food safety.

        I don’t think there’s a single state in the US that allows you to make food without gloves.

        The only exception I’ve seen is when you’re dealing with the ingredients before they’ve been cooked, like with pizzas.
