The problem with wearing gloves in food services is that so often the wearer thinks of the gloves as somehow protecting against everything so they will take cash in the gloved hand and then proceed back to the food.

I worked at See’s Candies, in their factory (inputting mail-orders into their computer) in Los Angeles, as a temp for about six months. I can vouch for the fact that their candy is far superior to any other mass-produced specialty candy (especially their peanut brittle). They gave free candy out to all employees with the stipulation that it could only be consumed in the lunch room during break time. I learned their coding system after about 3 weeks. Sadly, that was about 10 years ago and I am now only able to identify my three or four favorite kinds by sight alone. I do not like the ones with fruity insides. I prefer milk-chocolate covered with almonds and/or caramel or toffee. YUM!
