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.
They’re supposed to wash their hands and wear gloves. And, at least at the ones I work at, there are boxes of gloves at nearly every station so there’s no excuse to not have any 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.

It’s normal in restaurants that aren’t fast food
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.
