There's a rule against that, yeah, but it's easy to get around the rules. All he needs to do is get one of his colleagues to scratch it for him.

Now everyone stand in a circle with a hand down your neighbors pants.
I worked a couple fast food jobs in college. Trust me when I say, you shouldn’t eat fast food.
There was an incident with the cheese sauce when I worked at Arby’s. I have not had any processed cheese sauce from any restaurant since.
I have a feeling I'm going to regret asking, but what kind of "incident"?
A pimply, greasy, meth smoking teen jerked off into my the cheese sauce. Or at least bragged about it to one of the co-workers.
Needless to say we had to dump the batch. As if they wasn’t bad enough, when we dumped it, the bottom was caked in some kind of disgusting mold. It had probably been weeks or months since it had been emptied or cleaned
Yup, I just knew I was going to regret asking...
Spice up that food with some yummy tape worm eggs. 🌶️
Now I know how they make the Pintos N Cheese.
I, too, am a fan of the brain worms taking over my body.
If it works for a Presidential candidate then it works for meeeee!
Have you ever wondered what makes special sauce so special?
Yo.
Eww
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.
Gloves in a kitchen is just an illusion of hygiene. The gloves can be dirty and hands can be washed while gloves can't. So what you've actually done is pressured a hapless manager into following an arbitrary rule and I don't think that's very nice of you.
100% this.
I've seen shops where workers are handling food and then working the register all with the same gloves on.
Then there's this Korean spot I go to for fried chicken. They process payment and then put on fresh gloves right next to the register. Not making a show of it. Just workflow. Then they go handle/pack food and discard gloves after handing your order over.
Blew my mind.

Wrong. Skin has FAR more crevices than gloves, has more bacteria naturally on it, and has literal body fluid coming off of it.
If you think skin is as sanitary as gloves, you are a moron who knows nothing of basic germ theory or the foggiest idea of how gross biology is.
I know I can just wash my hands and be clean enough to handle food! It's my job after all. This actually isn't the first time I've been challenged by someone quoting all kinds of irrelevant scientific concepts: once I said you can wash veg in cold tap water (which is true where we live!) and this young squirt piped up going on about stillwater, breaking surface tension, bacteria... the knowledge apparently isn't worth much without real world experience!
You can cite "conventional wisdom" all you want.
It will NEVER. EVER make skin less germ-prone than a fresh glove. Obstinance doesn't make you right. It makes you a fool.
Well, for one thing, I'm citing the opposite of conventional wisdom, and for the other thing, I'm not saying hands are more or less germ-prone than fresh gloves; I'm arguing the opposite, namely, that they're as clean as each other. You should really pay attention before being such a sarky cunt.
They are, in fact, NOT "as clean as each other". That is stupid and what I said still directly refutes that stupid thought.
For handling food, they certainly are as clean as each other! Unless you think gloves magically repel dust and so on while sitting in the open box on the kitchen shelf?
Again, you are only demonstrating how withered and underdeveloped your idea of germ theory is...
Do you think germs live well on a mostly sterile surface that contains no food or biological material? Or literally ON biological material?
You're not even making arguments about how the food itself can be contaminated, or that behavioral patterns can make the glove harder to notice when it gets dirty. No... they're just equivalent... fucking pathetic thought process, there bud.
Or literally ON biological material?
That you've just washed? Nope! On a glove that's been worn so long it's got shite all over it? Yep!
Cherry picking to sound smart. Besides, your hand is literally biology that can not only absorb chemicals, put puts off chemicals of its own. You're just plain wrong, and your obstinance is pathetic.
Cherry picking to sound smart.
It was my point to begin with so I'm bringing it back within context!

Forgiven!
That's why we wouldn't let undergrads wear gloves until the later years where they use toxic material. Better one kid gets a drop of acid on their hand than them spreading it everywhere.
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.
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.
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.
Extra flavour
It's part of the beef seasoning.

I don't get it. What's the reference?

There's that taco bell brand ground beef.
