Given how bad so many people are at washing their hands (if they even wash at all), I kind of wish this was a real policy. At the very least, there should be a designated hand washing supervisor for the employees at restaurants.

I've worked in the industry on and off for many years; on far too many occasions I've seen not only improper washing technique, but also handling cooked food, then taking out the trash/touching a door handle, then going back to handling food without a glove change. And then contaminating the gloves by touching the same part that touches food when they do change them. It's extremely common and happens in every restaurant I've worked at. Good thing we have immune systems.

But if I wear my gloves when I go to the bathroom, I don't have to wash my hands, right?
