17. Latex gloves always drove me nuts

I worked at a restaurant years ago that changed ownership and new management wanted all of us to start using latex gloves. Theoretically you should change the things several times but as anyone who's ever worn latex gloves knows they don't go on wet or sweaty hands so nobody changed them anywhere near as often as they should.

Not only that those of us cooking in that restaurant were used to feeling the food we touched as we prepared it. From the garde manger prepping salads and vegetables to the line cooks and sous chef adding salt or other mise' items.

I also try to avoid places that use gloves in place of good handwashing.
