Wearing gloves is the worst thing a server or any food preparer can do. Why? They think wearing gloves makes it safe for them NOT to wash their hands frequently. Most people, misunderstand the use of gloves. The gloves are worn to protect the person wearing the gloves, not the patrons. When someone wears gloves, they do not realize that the gloves harbor germs just a readily as bare hands do. Not removing the gloves and donning a new pair of gloves is a recipe for disaster.
Don't wear gloves but wash or sanitize hands frequently. That is the way to go. Ditch the gloves unless you have a cut on your hands and you must protect yourself. If that is the case, wash your gloved hands frequently if you don't want to constantly have to change gloves.
Which brings me to the proper way to don and remove gloves. There is a proper way to do this so as not to contaminate clean hands. I would bet many people have no idea how to do this. Hence.....wearing gloves is a very BAD idea.
