I know cross contamination very well.

I trust non-sterile gloves over supposedly “washed” hands, every day of the week.

The number of people that use the toilet without washing, or even rinsing their hands afterwards is insanely high. People are disgusting.

Simply put, I don’t trust fast food gloves to be sterile, never said I did. I just think they’re likely to be cleaner than the unwashed hands inside of them.

Yes, they’re likely cross contaminated, but by the time I’m accepting the risk of having someone else prepare my next meal, i want to reduce the harm they can do to me as much as I can.

Cross contaminated gloves are going to be less harmful than the hands that contaminated them.
