Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Gloves do have the advantage that it's easier to notice when someone didn't
change them after hitting the restroom or hauling out a bin full of skanky
rotting trash. When I worked at McD's, I saw people walk up to the sink, turn
on the water, and still walk away with dry hands. But yeah, people will scratch
their heads and rub their faces, either way.

I dont' either, but I worked two years at McD's, and I know that a good portion
of the people who handle your food are there because they can't get any other
job. Those are often the people who make a point of not washing their hands
specifically because The Man is telling them to do so.

Technically, when they're blowing up the gloves, they're not blowing on the
surface you need to care about.
