You would think so. But I’ve been at a small local cafe and watched a guy from the kitchen walk into and out of the bathroom still wearing the same blue nitrile gloves. Immediately noped out and left because that’s just fucking gross
I have. The only reason I can imagine it being fine, though maybe technically not health code, is if certain cleaning chemicals are kept in the bathroom and they’re grabbing them in the middle of cleaning some non-food surface. There are plenty of things to clean on a slow shift, and some of them aren’t really going to be hurt if you ran into the bathroom real quick for bleach or something.
But that’s a weird edge case specifically contrived to make it kinda okay. That’s not normal.
I can almost see the logic in wearing service gloves into the bathroom, and then tossing them after you do your business and before washing your hands. But coming back out with the same gloves? If the business can’t afford for you to change your gloves, find a new job. If you don’t feel the need to change your gloves, find a new job.
The fact that we have to make “wash your hands after using the bathroom” mandatory with signs in every single bathroom kinda explains how COVID spread so fast to begin with.
It’s security theater and nothing more. They can make as many rules as they want to, but it’s not easy to enforce unless you have someone there observing at all times. Putting the signs there shifts all responsibility off everyone except the individual
Aw crap saw the sign when visiting the USA, I thought it was meant to reassure me. Surely they must wash their hand

Have you ever worked in the food industry because it really sounds like you’ve never worked in the food industry.

If I saw such a sign, I would be even more worried. As they say, every sign has a story behind
The story is that it’s mandatory for food service places and a lot of others as well.
Not super interesting.
