(...) Dude, you guys are creeping me out. Are you all serious? Man, I'd much, much prefer to have a human touching my food than some rubber-gloved freak. I've held off on posting until now because I can't find my words. This isn't about germs and (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I have, thankfully, never experienced that (at least not that I can recall). The closest I've seen is when they tend the register before removing the gloves, but the gloves ultimately end up being discarded before they get back to the food (...)
