we aren’t allowed to touch the food with gloves or without so I see no point. I’m never going to touch the food so why waste a glove?

Gloves can also harbor bacteria and viruses just like hands if they’re not used properly, changed frequently, and combined with hand washing. It’s safer and easier to use bare hands and regularly wash them. (Of course you shouldn’t ever touch food directly with bare hands.)

You should still have gloves available though! They’re required if you have a cut or band aid on your hands. They’re also just useful for protecting your hands doing other stuff, like using cleaning chemicals.

Starbucks policy says you can't. They say you won't wash your hands as often. Idk when I worked at dunkin we had to wear gloves. Honestly they are probably trying to save a buck.

We don't use gloves at my store for cooking. If we need to move the food for whatever reason and the tongs aren't cooperating, we just use the food's wrapper to hold it. It's been touching the food for the past month. What's wrong with having it hold the food for another 10 seconds?

No gloves; the idea is that you’re not touching anything with your hands so it doesn’t matter anyways.

they don’t use them at the store im at either. it took some time getting used to. at my old job, (restaurant) i wore gloves religiously (especially when handling cleaning chemicals & sanitizer) and i washed my hands as much as i do at sbux

The policy says no but there is an exception if you have allergies. I am allergic to nuts so it’s over for me if I touch the banana loaf or that nut swirl thing so I am allowed to wear gloves but requires to changes often

I don’t use gloves, and you’re not meant too touch the food with your hands anyways

I’ll grab a glove if I’m getting a muffin that won’t be warmed, or a cranberry bliss bar. Everything else is all tongs baby.
