She proceeded to use the same gloves that she was wearing when she changed the bin. I had to stop her and tell her to wash her hands and change her gloves. She replied why should she. Urgh, was tempted to say 'cause you're a manky bitch' but I held my tongue and told her it wasn't hygienic. She washed her hands & got new gloves and served me a couple of slices of turkey. But I didn't buy the turkey, I just left it down somewhere in the shop when it occurred to me that the girl had probably also used manky disgusting gloves when she was slicing the meat that morning. The girl behind the deli counter was really dirty too. She had her long hair tied in a pony and it was covered in a net but her huge side fringe was loose and uncovered and her hair was completely covered in grease. It looked like she hadn't washed it in months. Her uniform was manky too. It had lots of stains on it. Why do shops employ dirty people like that to work in their deli's?

This is an instant tactile reminder to wash your hands. In fact anything you touch, you can feel what it is. If you put your hand on the counter, and feel water, you dont know what it is, so you clean it and then wash your hands. Wearing gloves though, you dont have the same feedback, so you could pick up all kinds of residues from different things, and not know about it. Even if you changed gloves every 20 minutes, you could still, pick up all sorts of things. Gloveless ftw.

I change my gloves very frequently when working and if i've been wearing gloves a while i'd still know to change them if they are wet on the outside or dirty before i serve someone. Even if they aren't feeling dirty i'd still change them if i've been wearing them more than 10-15 minutes.

It was a very small family run business and they also owned a farm. Some days you would have the old lad come in from the farm in his wellies and dirty hands and start picking the penny sweets out of the tub for us. No one ever batted an eye lid or made any comments, and no one ever got sick. If anything it probably built up our immune systems

They could have all disease existing o earth and it's sometimes enough to sneeze in wrong direction and you have it all over food! In Poland before they will let you go near food you need to have several tests done (blood, urine etc). I was very surprised they dont do it here!

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:

Peasants who think they're better because you make a sandwich for them! :pac: - there was one regular who now does deliveries to place where I work and I have to check them (and I do very scrupulously _ I should post it in "revenge thread" )
