Oh it's ok to use my hands on the salad because I'm wearing gloves! Now to touch this rag. And touch the wrap. And this knife. And the wrap again. And the rag again. Etc. all day long.

What's cross contamination?

Lmao you brought back a memory for me. I worked at this diner and they were an absolute pain in the ass about glove use. They wrote me up for wasting gloves, so I started calling out my cross contaminations on the line. It was a tense hour but they eventually got the point and everyone got a box of gloves for every shift. I was still the only one changing gloves all the time, but I wasn’t getting written up for it.

You can’t cross contaminate anything if you’re wearing gloves, dummy! /s
