Mr. Pi Phi used to manage a pizza place, and it was part of the health code and company policy not to wear gloves.

Bottom line, this woman should not have been handling the food. I'm sure there was another job at the restaurant that she could have done.

What I'm saying is wear gloves and then wash the gloves, instead of using your bare hands and washing your bare hands.
