It’s a bit out of focus but still clear enough to see.
I made myself a BBQ burger. BBQ sauce, ketchup, lettuce, red onion, bacon, with cheddar cheese.
That looks delicious! This is such a weird photo though lol. Do you normally eat with gloves above a trashcan?
I work in a kitchen so you eat when/where you can. I ate this whole sandwich in maybe 3 minutes 😅
It’s kinda sad when you think about it that the people that prepare your food may have less time to eat than you do.
It’s kinda like they are working or something… weird.
That’s a health code violation in my state. Not that I give a shit mind. It’s not a bad violation.
It’s a health code violation in every state 😅
You seem to sweat a lot
That’s not a health code violation, but it’s still pretty gross if it drips on the food 😅
There’s bunch of hot appliances in industrial kitchen
That makes sense. I really appreciate that you’re wearing gloves now.
Oh no. I do not. I’m a nurse and this twigs me out. Gloves are considered dirty to us. Washed hands are the only thing that are clean.
That’s because on food, you’re supposed to wash hands, put on gloves, work with food. Change gloves when dirty. When switching to another kind of food task, wash hands, new gloves. There’s a lot of rules for glove use in food.
To be sure. Cross contamination has the same principles in both healthcare and food service. We’re just much more anal about it in healthcare.
I’d prefer not to see gloves at all if you’re not directly at a station. You’ll certainly get written up in a hospital if you start walking the halls while wearing gloves (since it means you didn’t wash your hands when you left the room). About the only grey area is during transport of a contact precaution patient.
Generally when I see someone wearing gloves doing something random(like eating their lunch or operating a cash register), all that goes through my mind is “they didn’t wash their hands and don’t plan to.”
It’s one of those things where on paper, it’s supposed to be as stringent as medical settings, but in reality it amounts to exactly what you said: they aren’t washing their hands.
But, truth be told, there’s some places where people don’t change gloves between food stations, which is even worse than just switching gloves without washing. It all comes down to who is running the kitchen. A good manager/chef is on top of things, and the methed out, sleep deprived, half drunk crew are following procedure well. Otherwise, things fall through the cracks a lot because there’s a degree of similarity between a kitchen during a rush and an ER on a busy night, without the extra training and entrenchment of germ theory to help the kitchen staff stay mindful.
I’ve done both, though I avoided any hospital work as much as I could, and also avoided any kitchen work I couldn’t walk away from at a whim. It’s honestly easier to remember to keep things right in an ER because the work flow is built around it more. Even with having done grunt level medical stuff, I would be more likely to not hand wash in a kitchen and just swap gloves because most kitchens aren’t set up where you can do it without breaking your flow. Dedicated hand washing stations/sinks just don’t exist. You have to walk away from the work to wash.
Now, even in bad kitchens, you’ll be washing your hands throughout a shift, it just won’t be between stations/jobs. It won’t be every ten minutes like in a facility of one type or another lol.
But holy crap, do I get queasy watching someone eat with gloves on. I know damn good and well those gloves are nasty as hell. No way.
It’s a lot easier to throw a piece of contaminated food into something that can burn every bit of bad stuff out than a whole ass person.
Now if only we can find a way to deep fry a person without killing them 🤔
It was above the rim Jerry!
This appears to be in a restaurant’s kitchen.
I was trying to figure out how to word that politely. I guess you nailed it but nevertheless I audibly guffawed.
They call it the batchelors plate.
What restaurant and is that a borger I can order or did you just make something off menu for yourself? 🤤
I just made it myself though it’s close to a menu item we do sell.
And it’s a small tavern in a town in ohio so if you’re in the area you can dm me and I’ll give details!
