Gloves At The Deli Counter

robman60

Don't the gloves at the deli counter lose all purpose if the worker uses the same gloves for everything?

Today, while ordering a roll the slob behind the counter cleaned some dirt that was below the counter, before proceeding to make the roll. :mad:

In an attempt to recuperate my losses, I read a newspaper from the shop while still in there without paying for it. Felt good man, felt good. :cool:

Some deli workers are brain dead, they think the purpose of the gloves is to protect their hands.

i find it annoying when the same worker would serve and handle cash with the gloves.

I have asked them to change gloves as they were washing prior to making my sandwich.

Once they didnt pick their hole with it then no need for concern.

It'd be worse if you were in a busy A & E and the doctor didn't change gloves. In fairness

If they're handling lots of coins while wearing the gloves, then preparing food that you are going to eat with those gloves, then there is cause for concern.

It pisses me off when they use the same knife for all the food. Like I don't wanna taste what the person before me had. :mad:

I work in a Deli and we're required to change our gloves before serving at the counter every time. If there are people not doing that then they're not doing it right.

Though serving several people at the same counter without changing gloves is ok if you dont touch anything dirty or aren't going to handle hot food after handling cold food or vice versa.

Bought a sandwich in Dublin about 2 weeks ago, the guy didn't use gloves at all! And neither did another worker, I don't think the place even had gloves! Wouldn't have taken the sandwich but it was seriously cheap! :P

Make your own fucking lunch if its such a problem.

You can't be lazy and picky.

ive gone to deli's before, ordered food, watched them make it, no gloves.. once they had it to me, i say, sorry, can you make that fresh. they say, what? it is fresh. then i tell them they didnt wear gloves...

i usually end up with no lunch

Yeah I bet they scratch their arse with them when nobody is watching.

You don't even want to know what's in the mayo.

My local super value used to have a help yourself deli counter, all you needed was a big plastic spoon or your hand or whatever tickled your fancy. I could never bring myself to buy anything from it.

Yep: " Bacon and fried egg sandwich, please "

Five minutes later? Bite. Spit! Gag! :mad: Who the hell asked for bread soaked in fucking Cucumber juice?!

I work in Dominos and we don't wear gloves, and I'm pretty sure most pizza places don't either. Our food is all cooked though, but I've had to stand there and take bollox from a couple of crazy women (not being sexist or anything, but it always seems to be women ) that are convinced we should be wearing gloves. We all wash our hands literally every 5 mins, and even have a damn alarm that goes off every 20 mins for this purpose!

he clearly thought nothing of making that roll for you after he went for a piss a few moments prior to that and wriggled it dry with the same gloves.

women probably use a whole bog roll on the jax each time they go to the loo, thats why they go in pairs to make the job ...erm easier.

Ah yea but in Dominoes you are all separate - i.e. the guy who is putting the toppings on the pizza isn't the same guy as is putting money through the till, etc.
In shop delis, it's often the same person doing both!

As a side note, why don't Dominoes workers wear gloves? Is it just not a company requirement, or is there a specific reason why gloves shouldn't be worn?

mmm! melted plastic topping

I doubt many chefs or bakers wear gloves, I think that a clean area with hand washing facilities will be more important than gloves.

Gloves are only as a clean as the last thing they have touched. I have seen people wear the same pair of gloves for an entire shift..Yum..Chefs do not wear gloves either. Dealing with hot surfaces is not good with gloves on. Hot rubber and skin is not nice.

LOL, it looks like not wearing gloves might be the least of our worries! :eek:

Restaurant chefs don't wear gloves so why should pizza chefs. It would be a bitch to handle and roll pizza dough with gloves. Maybe dominoes dough comes pre rolled.
