Trump sported neither gloves not a hair net as he worked at a branch of the fast food chain in Pennsylvania

Earlier this year, this location didn’t meet the compliance requirements of the Bucks County Health Department. A health inspection in March at the Feasterville-Trevose location resulted in four violations, including citing employees not having their “hands clean & properly washed.”

“Food employees are not washing their hands as required before putting on gloves, after handling soiled tableware, after handling raw meat, before handling clean tableware, equipment, utensils. CFSM must review hand washing requirements with staff. Observed employees handling raw beef with gloves and then switching gloves without hand washing step in-between,” the health inspector wrote.

The report also noted a lack of hairnets: “Food workers are not wearing hair restraints as required, which includes management that assists in packaging and preparing food. Employees shall wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, that are effectively designed and worn to keep their hair from contacting exposed food; clean equipment, utensils and linens; and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles.”

    Isn’t that why you have training, and a manager to ensure proper steps are being taken?

    My manager took her job seriously, and if she came around and noticed you:

    A) weren’t wearing gloves B) weren’t keeping to the guidelines by changing gloves at the allotted time C) ESPECIALLY not washing your hands

    You’d get a verbal warning, write up for subsequent violations, and then fired for not being able to properly follow these simple guidelines.

    I don’t want your bare hands touching my food. Period.

    A hospital should be even more strict about these simple guidelines. Seeing you so vehemently against something as simple as gloves on top of washing your hands, makes me so glad I cook at home. Keep on, I guess. Who cares anymore, am I right?

      I don’t understand how you don’t get it…

      Gloves aren’t a sign of cleanliness or hygiene and people using their clean hands is much better than people wearing gloves and not cleaning often enough because they don’t realize their gloves are dirty. It’s that simple. It’s even you see cooks wearing gloves that you should be worried.

      weren’t keeping to the guidelines by changing gloves at the allotted time

      See, from the get go that makes zero sense! Cleaning isn’t based on time, it’s based on what you manipulated!

        I don’t understand why you are having such a hard time grasping such a simple thing as guidelines.

        A guideline, in this case, is something to follow, which all employees should do, to prevent any unnecessary contamination. Gloves are an extra precaution, on top of washing your hands properly, that minimizes the risk of contaminating the very food that someone else is going to be putting into their body.

        Gloves in a FOOD environment, alongside hair nets, are just a no brainer for someone that will be serving food to another human being. On the daily, I see motherfuckers who can’t even be bothered to wash their hands after using the restroom, and you expect me to see someone cooking food without gloves on, and continue to eat that shit???

        The allotted time is for when you haven’t gotten your gloves dirty, or at the very least not contaminated with other food stuffs. That means that if you get your gloves covered in the food you are prepping, you go and wash your hands and put on a new pair of gloves. Simple as hell, and promotes a healthy cooking environment. There are literally no downsides, just the ones you make up in your head.

          Guidelines vary depending on where you live, around here is no gloves and there’s a very good justification for it.

            I provided you a lot of reasons why gloves should be worn, and all you can say is this. Poor way to justify your shitty practices. Keep on serving your contaminated food then, you improperly trained fool.

              No, all you do is repeat that you still need to clean your hands and need to change your gloves, the difference is that without gloves you can feel it if you’re hands are dirty so you actually clean them more often, you don’t need something in your face to remind you that “hey, you’ve got gloves on, you don’t realize your hands are dirty, wash them!”
