Default Itamae wearing plastic "gloves"

It's my understanding that laws governing food handlers from
restaurants to supermarkets to manufacturing plants are
state and local (and some large chains - McD's, BK, IHOP,
.... - have their own stronger rules used in weaker states).
Hair nets or hair convering, disposable gloves, sanitization
of utensils, etc. are part of the picture.

Maybe Montrose has a law to prevent people from preparing food
with their bare hands or the place voluntarily wants you to see
that they are concerned about hygiene and your health?


On a non-sushi note, I wonder what kind of training the deli
staff have at the local supermarkets. They put on a pair
of clean plastic gloves but then they still rub their nose or
eye or pick up some crap off the floor and say, "Next!"
