A food service pet peeve

[Orrex]

You know how Sandwich Artists et al wear those plastic gloves? The ones that are good for window dressing but which in practice and reality don't actually protect you to much?

I hate hate HATE when they blow into the gloves to make it easier to put them on their hands. I mean, why not just cut to the chase and spit in my sandwich, while you're at it?

I've seen this in dozens of restaurants, and I can't believe that it ever strikes anyone as a good idea.

"Yes, I'd like the italian sub with a spattering of saliva and a dab of phlegm, please?"

2. Why do you hate America?

:P

3. Quite honestly, I'd rather people stop killing the earth and not use the #&(%# things at all.

:mad: :grr:

We need a law that says only doctors and other healthcare people can even buy the fucking earth-polluting things.

It pisses me off when the dudes at the meat counter get a new set of gloves for every fucking order, too.

Use some fucking tongs, jackasses!

And to you extremely and over-paranoid consumers - GROW UP!

As long as counter people keep their hands washed, there is NO worry whatsoever!



As to the blowing into the gloves - you are pretty much correct. It totally defeats the overly-paranoid reason for gloves in the first place. Granted, most of the shit they're breathing goes *inside* the glove, but I would bet a million dollars that it still leaves a nice spray on the outside.

And while I'm here - STOP USING STRAWS YOU LAZY EARTH-KILLING BASTARDS!!!!! YOU DON'T NEED THEM!!!!

4. You correctly disintegrated the only argument I've heard in favor of it

"But they're blowing on the inside," say the apologists.

Lovely. And I suppose you'd be fine if your surgeon's pre-op prep included a healthy exhalation into his latex gloves before he put you under the knife?!?


Aaaaargh!
