ETA: I see in this case, she was told not to wear gloves because they aggravated her condition.

I don't know what the restaurant policies are in the US, but I know here (well, at least in Ontario), it's actaully against regulations to wear gloves. The reason being is that you're actually spreading more bacteria that way, because it stays on the gloves, and the wearer is handling different foods, touching counters, picking up rags, etc., etc. Now, if you request that the food prepares wear gloves while making your burger, they will put them on.
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.
